28430

28431

I will turn Rabbah into a pasture for camels, and Ammon will become a resting place for flocks of sheep. That's how they'll learn that I am the LORD."'"

28432

Their inhabitants are devoid of power, and are terrified and put to shame. They've become like plants in the field, like green shoots, like grass on rooftops, scorched by the east wind.

28433

I will also clap my hands; then my anger will subside. I, the LORD have spoken it."

28434

then I might reject the descendants of Jacob and my servant David by not taking some of his descendants as rulers over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Indeed, I'll restore their fortunes, and I'll have compassion on them.'"

28435

But when I look, there is no one among them there's no one to give counsel, no one to give an answer when I ask them.

28439

Give thanks to the God of Heaven, for his gracious love is everlasting.

I will never forget your precepts, for you have revived me with them.

28441

Yet when they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, the LORD brought them out of their distress.

28442

There I will create a power base for David I have prepared a lamp for my anointed one.

28443
