3:16 The Lord says,
“The women 1 of Zion are proud.
They walk with their heads high 2
and flirt with their eyes.
They skip along 3
and the jewelry on their ankles jingles. 4
40:31 But those who wait for the Lord’s help 5 find renewed strength;
they rise up as if they had eagles’ wings, 6
they run without growing weary,
they walk without getting tired.
43:2 When you pass through the waters, I am with you;
when you pass 7 through the streams, they will not overwhelm you.
When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned;
the flames will not harm 8 you.
51:23 I will put it into the hand of your tormentors 9
who said to you, ‘Lie down, so we can walk over you.’
You made your back like the ground,
and like the street for those who walked over you.”
