- Therefore say to them, “Thus says the Lord God: The fulfillment of my words will not be delayed any longer. What I have said will be done now. This is the word of the Lord God.”
- I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, says the Lord God. Repent and live!
- Indeed, the Lord God does nothing
without revealing his plan
to his servants, the prophets. - The Lord God is my strength;
he makes my feet as swift as those of a deer
and enables me to tread on the heights. - How great you are, Lord God! There is no one like you, and there is no God except you alone, as everything that we have heard confirms.
- Ah, Lord God, you made the heavens and the earth by your great power and your outstretched arm. Nothing is impossible for you.
- Do I derive any pleasure from the death of the wicked? asks the Lord God. Would I not rather rejoice to see them turn away from their wickedness and live?
- The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me
because the Lord has anointed me.
He has sent me to announce good news to the oppressed,
to strengthen the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom to those held in captivity
and release to those who have been imprisoned. - I intend to prove the holiness of my great name which has been profaned among the nations, and which you have profaned among them. Thus, the nations will know that I am the Lord, says the Lord God, when through you I will display my holiness in their sight.
Who is this King of glory?
The Lord of hosts:
he is the King of glory. Selah
