My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and My tongue clings to My jaws; and You have brought Me into the dust of death.

The poor and needy seek water, and there is none; their tongue fails for thirst. I Jehovah will hear them, I the God of Israel will not abandon them.

The tongue of the infant cleaves to the roof of his mouth in thirst; the young children ask for bread; there is none broken to them.

And I will make your tongue cling to the roof of your mouth, so that you shall be mute and not be one rebuking them, for they are a rebellious house.

For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness.

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my course with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

according to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.

therefore, brethren, in all our affliction and distress we were encouraged concerning you regarding your faith.

For what thanks can we render to God for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice for your sake before our God,
