And so it was broken in that day. Then the poor simple sheep that had a respect unto me, knew thereby that it was the word of the LORD.

In thee also will I leave a small, poor, simple people: which shall trust in the name of the LORD.

And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.

"And the LORD shall bring a nation upon thee from afar, even from the end of the world, as swift as an eagle flyeth: a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand;

And then, when much mischief and tribulation is come upon them, this song shall answer before them, and be a witness. It shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed: for I know their imagination which they go about even now before I have brought them into the land which I sware."

For I am sure that after my death, they will utterly mar themselves and turn from the way which I commanded you, and tribulation will come upon you in the latter days, when ye have wrought wickedness in the sight of the LORD to provoke him with the works of your hands."

They have angered me with that which is no god; and provoked me with their vanities. And I, again, will anger them with them which are no people, and will provoke them with a foolish nation.

For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners.

For he shall deliver the poor when he crieth, and the needy that hath no help.

Thus I wait upon the LORD that hath turned his face from the house of Jacob, and I look unto him.

Who shall then maintain the messages of the Gentiles? But the LORD establisheth Zion, and the poor of my people shall put their trust in him.

Therefore, LORD, we have a respect unto the way of thy judgments; thy name and thy remembrance rejoice the soul.

But unto them that have the LORD before their eyes, shall strength be increased, Eagles wings shall grow upon them; When they run, they shall not fall; and when they go, they shall not be weary."

{Tet} O how good is the LORD unto them that put their trust in him, and to the soul that seeketh after him?

Nevertheless, I will look up unto the LORD; I will patiently abide God my saviour: my God shall hear me.

Therefore will I no more spare those that dwell in the land, sayeth the LORD. But lo, I will deliver the people, every man, into his neighbour's hand and into the hand of his king: that they may smite the land. And out of their hands will I not deliver them."

And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon. And the same man was just and feared God, and longed for the consolation of Israel, and the holy ghost was in him.

And the same came forth that same hour, and praised the Lord, and spake of him to all that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.

And Jesus answered, and said unto them, "Go your ways and show John, what things ye have heard and seen: how that the blind see, the halt go, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead arise: To the poor is the glad tidings preached,

but could not find what to do. For all the people stuck by him. And gave him audience.

and did not consent to the counsel and deed of them; which was of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews. Which same also, waited for the kingdom of God.

And behold, I will send the promise of my father upon you. But tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high."

Wherefore of these men which have companied with us - all the time that the Lord Jesus went out and in among us,

What then? Israel hath not obtained that that he sought. No but yet the election hath obtained it. The remnant are blinded,

Hearken, my dear beloved brethren, hath not God chosen the poor of this world, which are rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom, which he promised to them that love him?

Go to now, ye rich men. Weep, and howl on your wretchedness that shall come upon you.
