Awake, awake, O Jerusalem, and put on the strength of your arm; awake as in the early time, as the ancient generation.

For by [the help of] the Lord they shall return, and come to Zion with joy and everlasting exaltation, for praise and joy shall come upon their head; pain, grief, and groaning have fled away.

If you would open the heaven, trembling will take hold upon the mountains from You, and they shall melt,

And He said to me, Prophesy to the wind; prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus says the Lord: Come from the four winds, [O breath,] and breathe upon these dead, that they may live.

"The wind blows where it wills, and you hear its sound, but you do not know from where it comes and where it goes. So is everyone who has been born of the Spirit."

And when the day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

And suddenly a sound came out of heaven, as being borne along by a violent wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.

Your shoots are a garden of pomegranates, with the fruit of choice berries; camphor, with spikenard:

spikenard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon; with all woods of Lebanon, myrrh, aloes, with all chief spices:

Let us go early into the vineyards; let us see if the vine has flowered, if the blossoms have appeared, if the pomegranates have blossomed; there will I give you my breasts.

The mandrakes have given a smell, and at our doors are all kinds of choice fruits, new and old. O my kinsman, I have kept [them] for you.

Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness;

Because the ministry of this service not only is supplying the needs of the saints, but also is abounding through many thanksgivings to God,

And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all perception,

having been filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

On account of this we also, since the day we heard, do not cease praying for you, and asking that you may be filled with the full knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;

being strengthened with all power, according to the might of His glory, for all endurance and longsuffering with joy;

that you would make your walk worthy of God who calls you into His own kingdom and glory.

Because of this we also give thanks to God unceasingly, so that when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you received not the word of men, but just as it truly is, the word of God, which also is at work in you who believe.

Now may the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the everlasting covenant,

make you complete in every good work to do His will, working in you what is well pleasing before Him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

but grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.

Let my kinsman come down into his garden, and eat the fruit of his choice berries. I have come into my garden, my sister, my spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spices; I have eaten my bread with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk. Eat, O friends, and drink; yes, brethren, drink abundantly.

My vineyard, even mine, is before me; Solomon [shall have] a thousand, and they that keep its fruit two hundred.

But when Jesus became aware of it, He said to them, "Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a beautiful work for Me.

For this [woman], having put this perfume on My body, she did [it] for My burial.

that I should be a minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God as a priest, so that the offering of the Gentiles might be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

Therefore, having finished and having sealed to them this fruit, I shall go by way of you to Spain.

you also, as living stones, are being built [into] a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's [own] possession, that you may proclaim the excellent virtues of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

who formerly [were] not a people but now [are the] people of God, who had not received mercy, but now have received mercy.
