seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and shall inhabit the desolate cities.

but my mercy shall not depart from thee, and the covenant of my peace
shall not be moved: said the Lord that hath mercy on thee.

stones, and all thy borders of desirable stones.
54:13. All thy children shall be taught of the Lord: and great shall be
the peace of thy children.

for thou shalt not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near
thee.

was a stranger to thee before, shall be joined to thee.

fire, and bringeth forth an instrument for his work, and I have created
the killer to destroy.

tongue that resisteth thee in judgment, thou shalt condemn. This is the
inheritance of the servants of the Lord, and their justice with me,
saith the Lord.

believe in Christ out of all nations, and sincerely serve him.

money make haste, buy, and eat: come ye, buy wine and milk without
money, and without any price.

labour for that which doth not satisfy you? Hearken diligently to me,

God, and for the Holy One of Israel, for he hath glorified thee.
