I do not whisper obscurities in some dark corner. I would not have told the people of Israel to seek me if I could not be found. I, the Lord, speak only what is true and declare only what is right.

I have called you by name, you are mine... you are precious in my sight.

The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; on those who lived in a land of deep shadow a light has shone. For the yoke that was weighing upon them and the burden upon their shoulders, thou hast broken in pieces O God.

Behold, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away, and your sin is forgiven.

But the wicked are like the tossing sea, which cannot rest, whose waves cast up mire and mud.

Stop trusting in man, who has but a breath in his nostrils.

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
