- But let justice roll down like waters,
and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream. - There is none holy like the Lord:
for there is none besides you;
there is no rock like our God. - Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord:
though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red like crimson,
they shall become like wool. - May my teaching drop as the rain,
my speech distill as the dew,
like gentle rain upon the tender grass,
and like showers upon the herb. - And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
- I have blotted out your transgressions like a cloud
and your sins like mist;
return to me, for I have redeemed you. - A man without self-control
is like a city broken into and left without walls. - I stretch out my hands to you;
my soul thirsts for you like a parched land. Selah - God, the Lord, is my strength;
he makes my feet like the deer's;
he makes me tread on my high places. - Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.
- But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.
- Therefore you are great, O Lord God. For there is none like you, and there is no God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
- Gracious words are like a honeycomb,
sweetness to the soul and health to the body. - A rich man's wealth is his strong city,
and like a high wall in his imagination. - When your eyes light on it, it is gone,
for suddenly it sprouts wings,
flying like an eagle toward heaven. - The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels;
they go down into the inner parts of the body. - For a thousand years in your sight
are but as yesterday when it is past,
or as a watch in the night. - Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
- Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation.
- But for you who fear my name, the sun of righteousness shall rise with healing in its wings. You shall go out leaping like calves from the stall.
- Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity
and passing over transgression
for the remnant of his inheritance?
He does not retain his anger forever,
because he delights in steadfast love. - I, I am he who comforts you;
who are you that you are afraid of man who dies,
of the son of man who is made like grass. - Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
- Let the lowly brother boast in his exaltation, and the rich in his humiliation, because like a flower of the grass he will pass away.
- But they who wait for the Lord
shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings like eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
they shall walk and not faint.
Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is. And everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure.He only is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall not be shaken. O Lord, you are my God;
I will exalt you; I will praise your name,
for you have done wonderful things,
plans formed of old, faithful and sure.Next verse!With image
