^eto revive the spirit of the lowly,
and to revive the heart of the contrite.

Isaiah 66:2

2 ^fAll these things my hand has made,
and so all these things came to be,

and trembles at my word.

Luke 18:13-17

13 But the tax collector, ^pstanding far off, ^qwould not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but ^rbeat his breast, saying, ‘God, ^sbe merciful to me, a sinner!’ 14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For ^teveryone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

Let the Children Come to Me

15 ^uNow they were bringing even infants to him that he might touch them. And when the disciples saw it, they ^vrebuked them. 16 But Jesus called them to him, saying, ^w“Let the children come to me, and ^xdo not hinder them, ^yfor to such belongs the kingdom of God. 17 ^zTruly, I say to you, whoever does not ^aareceive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.”

Romans 10:1-3

1 Brothers, ^{▼▼Or Brothers and sisters} my heart’s desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved. 2 For I bear them witness that ^acthey have a zeal for God, ^adbut not according to knowledge. 3 For, being ignorant of ^aethe righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.
