But with righteousness He shall judge the poor, and shall decide with equity for the meek of the earth. And He shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, and with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked.

What shall one then answer the messengers of the nation? That Jehovah has founded Zion, and the poor of His people shall take refuge in it.

And the meek shall increase their joy in Jehovah, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

O Jehovah, be gracious to us; we have waited for You. Be their arm every morning; our salvation also in the time of trouble.

For all those My hand has made, and all those exist, says Jehovah. But to this one will I have regard: To the lowly and contrite of spirit, and the one who trembles at My Word.

But He saves the needy from the sword, from the mouth of the mighty, and from their hand.

So the poor have hope, and injustice shuts her mouth.

For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, I will now arise, says Jehovah; I will set him in the safety for which he pants.

All my bones shall say, Jehovah, who is like You, who delivers the lowly from him who is too strong for him; yea, the poor and the needy from him who plunders him?

He shall execute justice for the lowly of the people; He shall save the children of the needy, and shall crush in pieces the oppressor.

He shall have pity on the poor and needy and shall save the souls of the needy.

yet He exalts the poor out of affliction, and makes their families like a flock.

I have clung to Your Testimonies; O Jehovah, put me not to shame!

I will also leave a poor and weak people in your midst, and they shall trust in the name of Jehovah.

Listen, my beloved brethren: Has God not chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him?

And Jehovah will create over all the foundation of Mount Zion, and over her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night; for over all the glory shall be a canopy.

And there shall be a booth for shade by day from the heat, and for a refuge and a shelter from storm and rain.

And a man shall be as a hiding place from the wind, and a shelter from the tempest, like streams of water in a dry place, like the shade of a huge rock in a weary land.

And my people shall dwell in a peaceful habitation, and in secure dwellings and in quiet resting places,

though it hails upon the forest, and the city is laid low.

And they said to him, Thus says Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble and of rebuke and of blasphemy! For the children have come to the birth, and there is no strength to bring forth.

It may be that Jehovah your God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom his master the king of Assyria has sent to reproach the living God, and will reprove the words which Jehovah your God has heard. Therefore, lift up your prayer for the remnant that is left.

Then the angel of Jehovah went out and struck a hundred and eighty-five thousand in the camp of Assyria. And when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.

Say to those who plaster it with whitewash, that it will fall. There will be a flooding rain, and you, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall break it down.

Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah: I will cause a stormy wind to break forth in My fury; and there shall be a flooding rain in My anger, and great hailstones in fury to consume it.

and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.

and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.
