Isaiah 40-43

Now, O LORD, deliver us from his hand, so that all kingdoms on earth will know that you alone, O LORD, are God.

But only the redeemed will walk there, and the ransomed of the LORD will return. They will enter Zion with singing; everlasting joy will crown their heads. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee away.

For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our King; it is he who will save us.

But the Egyptians are men and not God; their horses are flesh and not spirit.

Yet the LORD longs to be gracious to you; he rises to show you compassion. For the LORD is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!

Hosea 8-14 “The ways of the Lord are right; the righteous walk in them, but the rebellious stumble in them.”

Hosea 1-7

For this God is our God for ever and ever; he will be our guide even to the end.

“LORD, you establish peace for us; all that we have accomplished you have done for us. O LORD, our God, other lords besides you have ruled over us, but your name alone do we honor. They are now dead, they live no more; those departed spirits do not rise.”
