And I will rejoice over them, to do them good, - And will plant them in this land in truth, with all my heart and with all my soul.

and lo! a voice out of the heavens, - saying, This, is my Son, the Beloved, in whom I delight.

The insolence of thy heart, hath deceived thee, O thou that inhabitest the retreats of the crag, the height of his habitation, - that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?
