Deuteronomy 30

• 1. And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee,
• 2. And shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul;
• 3. That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee.
• 4. If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee:
• 5. And the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.
• 6. And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.
• 7. And the LORD thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee.
• 8. And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the LORD, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day.
• 9. And the LORD thy God will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the LORD will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers:
• 10. If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.
• 11. For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off.
• 12. It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
• 13. Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
• 14. But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.
• 15. See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;
• 16. In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.
• 17. But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them;
• 18. I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it.
• 19. I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
• 20. That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.

Psalms 122

• 1. I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.
• 2. Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.
• 3. Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:
• 4. Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.
• 5. For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.
• 6. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.
• 7. Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.
• 8. For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.
• 9. Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.

Isaiah 57

• 1. The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.
• 2. He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness.
• 3. But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the whore.
• 4. Against whom do ye sport yourselves? against whom make ye a wide mouth, and draw out the tongue? are ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood.
• 5. Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts of the rocks?
• 6. Among the smooth stones of the stream is thy portion; they, they are thy lot: even to them hast thou poured a drink offering, thou hast offered a meat offering. Should I receive comfort in these?
• 7. Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed: even thither wentest thou up to offer sacrifice.
• 8. Behind the doors also and the posts hast thou set up thy remembrance: for thou hast discovered thyself to another than me, and art gone up; thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made thee a covenant with them; thou lovedst their bed where thou sawest it.
• 9. And thou wentest to the king with ointment, and didst increase thy perfumes, and didst send thy messengers far off, and didst debase thyself even unto hell.
• 10. Thou art wearied in the greatness of thy way; yet saidst thou not, There is no hope: thou hast found the life of thine hand; therefore thou wast not grieved.
• 11. And of whom hast thou been afraid or feared, that thou hast lied, and hast not remembered me, nor laid it to thy heart? have not I held my peace even of old, and thou fearest me not?
• 12. I will declare thy righteousness, and thy works; for they shall not profit thee.
• 13. When thou criest, let thy companies deliver thee; but the wind shall carry them all away; vanity shall take them: but he that putteth his trust in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain;
• 14. And shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way, take up the stumblingblock out of the way of my people.
• 15. For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
• 16. For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which I have made.
• 17. For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him: I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly in the way of his heart.
• 18. I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.
• 19. I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, saith the LORD; and I will heal him.
• 20. But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
• 21. There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.
