The desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.

The poor and needy search for water, but there is none; their tongues are parched with thirst. But I the LORD will answer them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them. I will make rivers flow on barren heights, and springs within the valleys. I will turn the desert into pools of water, and the parched ground into springs.

The LORD Almighty has a day in store for all the proud and lofty, for all that is exalted (and they will be humbled).

He that slayeth an ox is as he that killeth a human.

Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest as they lie in death.

The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycamores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars.

Woe to the wicked! Disaster is upon them! They will be paid back for what their hands have done.
