forsake the fear of the Almighty. - “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.
- How happy is the one whom God reproves;
therefore do not despise the discipline of the Almighty. - The Almighty —we cannot find him;
he is great in power and justice,
and abundant righteousness he will not violate. - You who live in the shelter of the Most High,
who abide in the shadow of the Almighty,
will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress;
my God, in whom I trust.” - Restore us, O Lord God of hosts;
let your face shine, that we may be saved. - Return to me, says the Lord of hosts, and I will return to you, says the Lord of hosts.

- Who is this King of glory?
The Lord of hosts,
he is the King of glory. Selah - Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;
his greatness is unsearchable. - Riches and honor come from you, and you rule over all. In your hand are power and might; and it is in your hand to make great and to give strength to all.
- For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
- This also comes from the Lord of hosts;
he is wonderful in counsel,
and excellent in wisdom. - Seek good and not evil,
that you may live;
and so the Lord, the God of hosts, will be with you,
just as you have said. - To the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
- This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, says the Lord of hosts.
- The earth is the Lord's and all that is in it,

- Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his power.
- They shall be mine, says the Lord of hosts, my special possession on the day when I act, and I will spare them as parents spare their children who serve them.

he knows what is in the darkness,
and light dwells with him. - Little children, you are from God, and have conquered them; for the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.
Thus says the Lord of hosts: Render true judgments, show kindness and mercy to one another; do not oppress the widow, the orphan, the alien, or the poor; and do not devise evil in your hearts against one another.The Lord our God be with us, as he was with our ancestors; may he not leave us or abandon us. May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the steadfastness of Christ.Next verse!With image
