- But let justice run down like water,
And righteousness like a mighty stream. - No one is holy like the Lord,
For there is none besides You,
Nor is there any rock like our God. - For a thousand years in Your sight
Are like yesterday when it is past,
And like a watch in the night. - And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
- “Come now, and 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 be as wool.” - Whoever has no rule over his own spirit
Is like a city broken down, without walls. - I have blotted out, like a thick cloud, your transgressions,
And like a cloud, your sins.
Return to Me, for I have redeemed you. - I spread out my hands to You;
My soul longs for You like a thirsty land. Selah - The Lord God is my strength;
He will make my feet like deer’s feet,
And He will make me walk on my high hills. - Let my teaching drop as the rain,
My speech distill as the dew,
As raindrops on the tender herb,
And as showers on the grass. - But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.
- Therefore You are great, O Lord God. For there is none like You, nor is there any God besides You, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
- The words of a talebearer are like tasty trifles,
And they go down into the inmost body. - Pleasant words are like a honeycomb,
Sweetness to the soul and health to the bones. - The rich man’s wealth is his strong city,
And like a high wall in his own esteem. - A merry heart does good, like medicine,
But a broken spirit dries the bones. - Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
- Will you set your eyes on that which is not?
For riches certainly make themselves wings;
They fly away like an eagle toward heaven. - And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.
- But to you who fear My name
The Sun of Righteousness shall arise
With healing in His wings;
And you shall go out
And grow fat like stall-fed calves. - Who is a God like You,
Pardoning iniquity
And passing over the transgression
of the remnant of His heritage?
He does not retain His anger forever,
Because He delights in mercy. - I, even I, am He who comforts you.
Who are you that you should be afraid
Of a man who will die,
And of the son of a man who will be made like grass? - But those who wait on 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, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.
- Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong.
As a father pities his children,
So the Lord pities those who fear Him.May the Lord our God be with us, as He was with our fathers. May He not leave us nor forsake us. Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.Next verse!With image
