I thirst for you, the living God. When can I go and worship in your presence?

O God, you are my God, and I long for you. My whole being desires you; like a dry, worn-out, and waterless land, my soul is thirsty for you.

I lift up my hands to you in prayer; like dry ground my soul is thirsty for you.

"When my people in their need look for water, when their throats are dry with thirst, then I, the LORD, will answer their prayer; I, the God of Israel, will never abandon them.

they will never be hungry or thirsty. Sun and desert heat will not hurt them, for they will be led by one who loves them. He will lead them to springs of water.

And so I tell you that those who worship and obey me will have plenty to eat and drink, but you will be hungry and thirsty. They will be happy, but you will be disgraced.

"Happy are those whose greatest desire is to do what God requires; God will satisfy them fully!

He has filled the hungry with good things, and sent the rich away with empty hands.

"Happy are you who are hungry now; you will be filled! "Happy are you who weep now; you will laugh!

but those who drink the water that I will give them will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give them will become in them a spring which will provide them with life-giving water and give them eternal life."

He will wipe away all tears from their eyes. There will be no more death, no more grief or crying or pain. The old things have disappeared."

The sun will not hurt you during the day, nor the moon during the night.

Don't look down on me because of my color, because the sun has tanned me. My brothers were angry with me and made me work in the vineyard. I had no time to care for myself.

Then over Mount Zion and over all who are gathered there, the LORD will send a cloud in the daytime and smoke and a bright flame at night. God's glory will cover and protect the whole city.

His glory will shade the city from the heat of the day and make it a place of safety, sheltered from the rain and storm.

The poor and the helpless have fled to you and have been safe in times of trouble. You give them shelter from storms and shade from the burning heat. Cruel enemies attack like a winter storm,

Each of them will be like a shelter from the wind and a place to hide from storms. They will be like streams flowing in a desert, like the shadow of a giant rock in a barren land.

After the sun had risen, God sent a hot east wind, and Jonah was about to faint from the heat of the sun beating down on his head. So he wished he were dead. "I am better off dead than alive," he said.

But when the sun came up, it burned the young plants; and because the roots had not grown deep enough, the plants soon dried up.

But it does not sink deep into them, and they don't last long. So when trouble or persecution comes because of the message, they give up at once.

The sun rises with its blazing heat and burns the plant; its flower falls off, and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way the rich will be destroyed while they go about their business.
