The desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Thee.

But the LORD Almighty will be exalted by his justice, and the holy God will show himself holy by his righteousness.

The earth will be completely laid waste and totally plundered. The LORD has spoken this word.

Stop doing wrong, learn to do right! Seek justice, encourage the oppressed. Defend the cause of the fatherless, plead the case of the widow.

Tell the righteous it will be well with them, for they will enjoy the fruit of their deeds.

Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless.
