“For I, the Lord, love justice. I hate robbery and wrongdoing. I will faithfully reward my people for their suffering and make an everlasting covenant with them. ‭‭You will be called priests of the Lord, ministers of our God. You will feed on the treasures of the nations and boast in their riches. Instead of shame and dishonor, you will enjoy a double share of honor. You will possess a double portion of prosperity in your land, and everlasting joy will be yours. I am overwhelmed with joy in the Lord my God! For He has dressed me with the...

“Listen! The Lord’s arm is not too weak to save you, nor is His ear too deaf to hear you call. And this is my covenant with them, says the Lord. My Spirit will not leave them, and neither will these words I have given you. They will be on your lips and on the lips of your children and your children’s children forever. I, the Lord, have spoken! ‭‭Arise, Jerusalem! Let your light shine for all to see. For the glory of the Lord rises to shine on you. Darkness as black as night covers all the nations of...

I restore the crushed spirit of the humble and revive the courage of those with repentant hearts. This is what the Lord says: Be just and fair to all. Do what is right and good, for I am coming soon to rescue you and to display my righteousness among you.” ‭‭{Isaiah‬ ‭57‬:‭14‬-‭15‬;...
