'Blessed are' in the Bible

Then looking up at His disciples, He said:You who are poor are blessed,because the kingdom of God is yours.

You who are now hungry are blessed,because you will be filled.You who now weep are blessed,because you will laugh.

You are blessed when people hate you,when they exclude you, insult you,and slander your name as evilbecause of the Son of Man.

Look, the days are coming when they will say, ‘The women without children, the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed, are fortunate!’
