'Says' in the Bible

For he says, "At the acceptable time I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you." Behold, now [is] the acceptable time; behold, now [is] the day of salvation!

Therefore "come out from their midst and be separate," says the Lord, "and do not touch what is unclean, and I will welcome you,

and I will be a father to you, and you will be sons and daughters to me," says the all-powerful Lord.
