1 Woe is me! For I have become
^aas when the summer fruit has been gathered,
as when the grapes have been gleaned:
there is no cluster to eat,
no ^bfirst-ripe fig that my soul desires.

Zechariah 1:3-6

3 Therefore say to them, Thus declares the Lord of hosts: ^cReturn to me, says the Lord of hosts, and ^dI will return to you, says the Lord of hosts. 4 ^eDo not be like your fathers, ^fto whom the former prophets cried out, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, ^gReturn from your evil ways and from your evil deeds.’ But ^hthey did not hear or pay attention to me, declares the Lord. 5 Your fathers, where are they? And ⁱthe prophets, do they live forever? 6 ^jBut my words and my statutes, which I commanded ^kmy servants the prophets, did they not ^lovertake your fathers? So they repented and said, ^m‘As the Lord of hosts purposed to deal with us for ⁿour ways and ^odeeds, so has he dealt with us.’”

Zechariah 7:7

7 ^pWere not these the words that the Lord proclaimed ^qby the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and prosperous, ^rwith her cities around her, and the ^sSouth and the ^tlowland were inhabited?'”

Luke 12:48

48 ^uBut the one who did not know, and did what deserved a beating, ^vwill receive a light beating. ^wEveryone to whom much was given, of him much will be required, and from him to whom they entrusted much, they will demand the more.

John 15:1-8

As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. 5 I am the vine; ^agyou are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that ^ahbears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in me ^aihe is thrown away like a branch and withers; ^ajand the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. 7 If ^akyou abide in me, and my words abide in you, ^alask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 ^amBy this my Father is glorified, that you ^anbear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples.

Hebrews 1:1
