19Now therefore let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If it is the Lord who has stirred you up against me, may he accept an offering, but if it is men, may they be cursed before the Lord, bfor they have driven me out this day that I should have no share in cthe heritage of the Lord, saying, ‘Go, serve other gods.’Hebrews 11:13-16

Therefore God is not ashamed ito be called their God, for jhe has prepared for them a city.
