PSALMS 41:10-13 BUT THOU,  O LORD,  BE MERCIFUL UNTO ME,  AND  RAISE ME UP,   THAT I MAY REQUITE THEM.  BY THIS  I KNOW THAT THOU FAVOUREST ME, BECAUSE MINE ENEMY DOTH  NOT TRIUMPH OVER ME.   AND  AS FOR ME,  THOU UPHOLDEST ME  IN MINE INTEGRITY,  AND  SETTEST ME BEFORE  THY FACE FOR EVER.   BLESSED BE THE LORD GOD OF ISRAEL FROM EVERLASTING, AND TO EVERLASTING, AMEN, AND AMEN.

BUT ALL THIS WAS DONE, THAT THE SCRIPTURE OF THE PROPHETS MIGHT BE FULFILLED.   THEN ALL DISCIPLES  FORSOOK HIM,  AND  FLED. LOVE

PSALM 81:7-10 THOU CALLEDST IN TROUBLE,  AND  I DELIVER THEE;   I ANSWERED THEE   IN THE SECRET PLACE OF THUNDER: I PROVED THEE   AT  THE WATERS OF MERIBAH.  SELAH.  HEAR, O MY PEOPLE,  AND  I WILL TESTIFY UNTO THEE:  O ISRAEL,  IF THOU WILT HEARKEN UNTO ME; THERE SHALL  NO STRANGE god BE IN THEE; NEITHER SHALT THOU WORSHIP  ANY STRANGE GOD.  I AM THE LORD THY GOD,  WHICH BROUGHT  THEE OUT OF  THE LAND OF EGYPT:   OPEN THY MOUTH WIDE, AND I WILL FILL IT.

JEREMIAH 1:5-9 BEFORE I FORMED THEE IN THE BELLY I KNEW THEE; AND BEFORE  THOU CAMEST FORTH  OUT OF THE WOMB  I SANCTIFIED THEE,  AND  I ORDAINED THEE   A PROPHET  UNTO  THE NATIONS.   THEN SAID I,  AH, LORD GOD!  BEHOLD,  I  CANNOT SPEAK;  FOR I AM A CHILD.  BUT  THE LORD SAID UNTO ME,   SAY NOT, I AM A CHILD:   FOR THOU SHALT  GO  TO ALL THAT  I SHALL SEND THEE,   AND  WHATSOEVER  I COMMAND THEE   THOU SHALT SPEAK.  BE NOT AFRAID OF THEIR FACES:  FOR I  AM WITH THEE   TO  DELIVER THEE,  SAITH THE LORD.  THEN  THE LORD PUT FORTH HIS HAND, AND TOUCHED MY MOUTH.   AND  THE LORD SAID UNTO ME,  BEHOLD,  I HAVE PUT MY WORDS IN THY MOUTH.

ZEPHANIAH 3:17-20 THE LORD THY  GOD  IN  THE MIDST OF THEE  IS MIGHTY;   HE WILL SAVE,  HE WILL REJOICE  OVER THEE  WITH JOY;   HE WILL REST IN HIS LOVE,  HE WILL JOY OVER THEE  WITH SINGING.   I WILL GATHER THEM THAT ARE SORROWFUL FOR THE SOLEMN ASSEMBLY, WHO ARE OF THEE, TO WHOM THE REPROACH OF IT WAS A BURDEN .  BEHOLD,  AT THAT TIME  I WILL UNDO ALL  THAT AFFLICT THEE:  AND  I WILL SAVE HER THAT HALTETH, AND GATHER HER THAT WAS DRIVEN OUT ;   AND I WILL GET THEM PRAISE AND FAME  IN EVERY LAND WHERE THEY HAVE BEEN PUT TO SHAME .   AT THAT TIME WILL I BRING YOU AGAIN,   EVEN IN THE TIME THAT I GATHER YOU: FOR I WILL MAKE YOU A NAME AND A PRAISE AMOUNG ALL PEOPLE OF THE EARTH, WHEN I TURN BACK YOUR CAPTIVITY BEFORE YOUR EYES, SAITH THE LORD .    LOVE

ECCLESIASTES 7:17-19 BE NOT OVER  MUCH WICKED, NEITHER BE THOU FOOLISH: WHY SHOULDEST THOU DIE BEFORE THY TIME? IT IS GOOD THAT THOU SHOULDEST TAKE HOLD OF THIS: YEA, ALSO FROM THIS WITHDRAW  NOT THINE HAND: FOR HE THAT FEARETH GOD SHALL COME FORTH OF  THEM ALL. WISDOM  STRENGTHENETH THE WISE MORE THAN TEN MIGHTY MEN WHICH ARE IN THE CITY. LOVE

MALACHI 4:1-3 FOR, BEHOLD,  THE DAY COMETH,  THAT SHALL  BURN AS AN OVEN;  AND  ALL THE PROUD,  YEA, AND ALL  THAT DO WICKEDLY,  SHALL BE STUBBLE:   AND  THE DAY THAT COMETH  SHALL BURN THEM UP,  SAITH THE LORD OF HOST,  THAT  IT SHALL LEAVE THEM NEITHER ROOT NOR BRANCH.

ISAIAH 54:5-8 FOR  THY MAKER IS  THINE HUSBAND; THE LORD OF HOSTS IS HIS NAME: AND THY REDEEMER THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL; THE GOD OF THE WHOLE EARTH SHALL  HE BE CALLED. FOR THE LORD HATH CALLED THEE AS A WOMEN FORSAKEN AND GRIEVED IN SPIRIT, AND A WIFE OF YOUTH, WHEN THOU WAST REFUSED, SAITH THY GOD. FOR A SMALL MOMENT I HAVE FORSAKEN THEE; BUT WITH GREAT MERCIES WILL  I  GATHER THEE. IN A LITTLE WRATH I HID MY FACE FROM THEE FOR A MOMENT; BUT WITH EVERLASTING KINDNESS WILL  I  HAVE  MERCY ON THEE, SAITH THE LORD THY REDEEMER. LOVE
