“It is the Lord who created the stars, the Pleiades and Orion. He turns darkness into morning and day into night. He draws up water form the oceans and pours it down as rain on the land. The Lord is His name! With blinding speed and power, He destroys the strong, crushing all their defenses.” (vv. 8-9, NLT)
“Do what is good and run from evil so that you may live! Then the Lord God of Heaven’s Armies will be your helper, just as you have claimed. Hate evil and love what is good; turn the courts into true halls of justice. Perhaps even yet the Lord God of Heaven’s Armies will have mercy on the remnant of His people.” (vv. 14-15, NLT)
