I know that you are bringing ¹  me to death, to the meeting place for all the living.

You will not abandon me ¹  to Sheol; ²  you will not allow your faithful follower ³  to see ⁴  the Pit. ⁵ 

He ¹  sends his command through the earth; ²  swiftly his order reaches its destination. ³ 

but the villagers ¹  refused to welcome ²  him, because he was determined to go to Jerusalem. ³ 

Then they wanted to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat came to the land where they had been heading.

so that we, who were the first to set our hope ¹  on Christ, ²  would be to the praise of his glory.

Look at the land of the Chaldeans, these people who have lost their identity! ¹  The Assyrians have made it a home for wild animals. They erected their siege towers, ²  demolished ³  its fortresses, and turned it into a heap of ruins. ⁴ 

Israel sent messengers to King Sihon, the Amorite king who ruled in Heshbon, and said to him, “Please allow us to pass through your land to our land.” ¹

“I, I am the one who consoles you. ¹  Why are you afraid of mortal men, of mere human beings who are as short-lived as grass? ² 

They had also heard him say, ¹  “The Lord says, ‘This city will certainly be handed over to the army of the king of Babylon. They will capture it.’” ²

So I asked, ¹  ‘What should I do, Lord?’ The Lord said to me, ‘Get up ²  and go to Damascus; there you will be told about everything ³  that you have been designated ⁴  to do.’

Instead we speak the wisdom of God, hidden in a mystery, that God determined before the ages for our glory.

For I do not want to see you now in passing, since I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord allows.
