You wear yourselves out looking for other gods, but you never give up. You think your obscene idols give you strength, and so you never grow weak.

The LORD gives strength to his people and blesses them with peace.

But I will heal this city and its people and restore them to health. I will show them abundant peace and security.

"Peace is what I leave with you; it is my own peace that I give you. I do not give it as the world does. Do not be worried and upset; do not be afraid.

The LORD your God will give you and your descendants obedient hearts, so that you will love him with all your heart, and you will continue to live in that land.

I will sprinkle clean water on you and make you clean from all your idols and everything else that has defiled you.

God has made us what we are, and in our union with Christ Jesus he has created us for a life of good deeds, which he has already prepared for us to do.

God has raised from death our Lord Jesus, who is the Great Shepherd of the sheep as the result of his blood, by which the eternal covenant is sealed. May the God of peace provide you with every good thing you need in order to do his will, and may he, through Jesus Christ, do in us what pleases him. And to Christ be the glory forever and ever! Amen.

I call to God, the Most High, to God, who supplies my every need.

But I did not, since that would have brought dishonor to my name among the nations which had seen me lead Israel out of Egypt.

But I did not, since that would have brought dishonor to my name among the nations which had seen me bring Israel out of Egypt.
