Will you keep to the old path ¹  that evil men have walked –

If you yourselves have all seen this, Why in the world ¹  do you continue this meaningless talk? ² 

See now, I have opened ¹  my mouth; my tongue in my mouth has spoken. ² 

I am absolutely terrified, ¹  and you, Lord – how long will this continue? ² 

But the Lord ¹  rules ²  forever; he reigns in a just manner. ³ 

Day after day it speaks out; ¹  night after night it reveals his greatness. ² 

May God bless us! ¹  Then all the ends of the earth will give him the honor he deserves. ² 

As for me, I will wait continually, and will continue to praise you. ¹ 

They repay my love with accusations, ¹  but I continue to pray. ² 

If you do this, ¹  then the kings and princes who follow in David’s succession ²  and ride in chariots or on horses will continue to enter through these gates, as well as their officials and the people of Judah and the citizens of Jerusalem. ³  This city will always be filled with people. ⁴ 

Why do you keep on forgetting ¹  us? Why do you forsake us so long?

But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”

Absolutely not! How can we who died to sin still live in it?

Let each one remain in that situation in life ¹  in which he was called.

Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ.

For now we are alive again, ¹  if you stand firm in the Lord.

But you, brothers and sisters, ¹  do not grow weary in doing what is right.

I will confirm ¹  my covenant as a perpetual ²  covenant between me and you. It will extend to your descendants after you throughout their generations. I will be your God and the God of your descendants after you. ³ 

and anoint them just as you anointed their father, so that they may minister as my priests; their anointing will make them a priesthood that will continue throughout their generations.”

and you may sow the eighth year and eat from that sixth year’s produce ¹  – old produce. Until you bring in the ninth year’s produce, ²  you may eat old produce.
