Blessed [is] he who comes in the name of the LORD! We have blessed you from the house of the LORD.

" Therefore thus says the LORD concerning the men of Anathoth who seek your life, saying, 'Do not prophesy in the name of the LORD, lest you die by our hand' --

"I have come in My Father's name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive.

As a woman with child Is in pain and cries out in her pangs, When she draws near the time of her delivery, So have we been in Your sight, O LORD.

We have been with child, we have been in pain; We have, as it were, brought forth wind; We have not accomplished any deliverance in the earth, Nor have the inhabitants of the world fallen.

Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: "Behold, I lay in Zion a stone for a foundation, A tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation; Whoever believes will not act hastily.

For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise:

"For yet a little while, [And] He who is coming will come and will not tarry.
