1 But all this I laid to heart, examining it all, ^ahow the righteous and the wise and their deeds are ^bin the hand of God. Whether it is love or hate, man does not know; both are before him.

Haggai 1:6-11

6 ^cYou have sown much, and harvested little. ^dYou eat, but you never have enough; you drink, but you never have your fill. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm. And he who ^eearns wages does so to put them into a bag with holes.

7 “Thus says the Lord of hosts: ^fConsider your ways. 8 Go up to the hills and bring wood and build the house, that ^gI may take pleasure in it and that ^hI may be glorified, says the Lord. 9 ⁱYou looked for much, and behold, it came to little. And when you brought it home, ^jI blew it away. Why? declares the Lord of hosts. Because of my house ^kthat lies in ruins, while each of you busies himself with his own house. 10 Therefore ^lthe heavens above you have withheld the dew, and the earth has withheld its produce. 11 And ^mI have called for a drought on the land and the hills, on ⁿthe grain, the new wine, the oil, on what the ground brings forth, on man and beast, and ^oon all their labors.”

Haggai 2:17-19

17 ^pI struck you and all the products of your toil with blight and with mildew and with hail, ^qyet you did not turn to me, declares the Lord. 18 ^rConsider from this day onward, ^sfrom the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month. Since ^tthe day that the foundation of the Lord’s temple was laid, ^uconsider: 19 ^vIs the seed yet in the barn? Indeed, the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree have yielded nothing. But from this day on ^wI will bless you.”

Zechariah 8:11-12

11 But now I will not deal with the remnant of this people as in the former days, declares the Lord of hosts. 12 ^xFor there shall be a sowing of peace. The vine shall give its fruit, and the ground shall give its produce, ^yand the heavens shall give their dew. ^zAnd I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things.

Acts 11:20-21

20 But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who on coming to Antioch spoke to the Hellenists ^{▼▼Or Greeks (that is, Greek-speaking non-Jews)} also, ^abpreaching the Lord Jesus. 21 And ^acthe hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number who believed ^adturned to the Lord.

1 Corinthians 3:5-7

5 What then is Apollos? What is Paul? ^aeServants through whom you believed, ^afas the Lord assigned to each. 6 ^agI planted, ^ahApollos watered, ^aibut God gave the growth. 7 So ^ajneither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth.
