Isaiah 6:1-2,5,8

[1]In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple.

[2]Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.

[5]So I said: “Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, The Lord of hosts.”

[8]Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.”

Isaiah 7:3-7

[3]Then the Lord said to Isaiah, “Go out now to meet Ahaz, you and Shear-Jashub your son, at the end of the aqueduct from the upper pool, on the highway to the Fuller’s Field,

[4]and say to him: ‘Take heed, and be quiet; do not fear or be fainthearted for these two stubs of smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria, and the son of Remaliah.

[5]Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah have plotted evil against you, saying,

[6]“Let us go up against Judah and trouble it, and let us make a gap in its wall for ourselves, and set a king over them, the son of Tabel”—

[7]thus says the Lord God: “It shall not stand, Nor shall it come to pass.

Isaiah 55:5-6,8-9

[5]Surely you shall call a nation you do not know, And nations who do not know you shall run to you, Because of the Lord your God, And the Holy One of Israel; For He has glorified you.”

[6]Seek the Lord while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near.

[8]“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord.

[9]“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.

[28]“And now, O Lord God, You are God, and Your words are true, and You have promised this goodness to Your servant.

[20]O Lord, there is none like You, nor is there any God besides You, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

[23]“And now, O Lord, the word which You have spoken concerning Your servant and concerning his house, let it be established forever, and do as You have said.

[24]So let it be established, that Your name may be magnified forever, saying, ‘The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, is Israel’s God.’ And let the house of Your servant David be established before You

[26]And now I pray, O God of Israel, let Your word come true, which You have spoken to Your servant David my father.

Jeremiah 23:5-6

[5]“Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord, “That I will raise to David a Branch of righteousness; A King shall reign and prosper, And execute judgment and righteousness in the earth.

[6]In His days Judah will be saved, And Israel will dwell safely; Now this is His name by which He will be called: THE Lord OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.

Ezekiel 34:23-25,30

[23]I will establish one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them—My servant David. He shall feed them and be their shepherd.

[24]And I, the Lord, will be their God, and My servant David a prince among them; I, the Lord, have spoken.

[25]“I will make a covenant of peace with them, and cause wild beasts to cease from the land; and they will dwell safely in the wilderness and sleep in the woods.

[30]Thus they shall know that I, the Lord their God, am with them, and they, the house of Israel, are My people,” says the Lord God.’

[23]then the Lord will drive out all these nations from before you, and you will dispossess greater and mightier nations than yourselves.

[25]No man shall be able to stand against you; the Lord your God will put the dread of you and the fear of you upon all the land where you tread, just as He has said to you.

[2]I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing.

[7]Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said, “To your descendants I will give this land.” And there he built an altar to the Lord, who had appeared to him.

[1]When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless.

[2]And I will make My covenant between Me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly.”

[4]“As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of many nations.

[5]No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you a father of many nations.

[7]And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and your descendants after you.

[9]And God said to Abraham: “As for you, you shall keep My covenant, you and your descendants after you throughout their generations.

[11]But the Angel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” So he said, “Here I am.”

[12]And He said, “Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me.”

[13]Then Abraham lifted his eyes and looked, and there behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son.

[16]and said: “By Myself I have sworn, says the Lord, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son —

[17]blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies.
