Israel’s Only Savior

1 But now thus says the Lord,
^hhe who created you, O Jacob,
he who formed you, O Israel:
ⁱ“Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
^jI have called you by name, you are mine.
2 ^kWhen you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you;
^lwhen you walk through fire ^myou shall not be burned,
and the flame shall not consume you.

Lamentations 3:17-23

17 my soul is bereft of peace;
I have forgotten what happiness ^{▼▼Hebrew good} is;
18 ^qso I say, “My endurance has perished;
so has my hope from the Lord.”
19 ^rRemember my affliction and my wanderings,
^sthe wormwood and ^tthe gall!
20 My soul continually remembers it
^uand is bowed down within me.
21 But this I call to mind,
and ^vtherefore I have hope:
22 ^wThe steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; ^{▼▼Syriac, Targum; Hebrew Because of the steadfast love of the Lord, we are not cut off}
^yhis mercies never come to an end;
23 they are new ^zevery morning;
^aagreat is your faithfulness.

7 so ^abyou should rather turn to forgive and comfort him, or he may be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.

2 Corinthians 4:8-10

8 We are ^acafflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; 9 persecuted, but ^adnot forsaken; ^aestruck down, but not destroyed; 10 ^afalways carrying in the body the death of Jesus, ^agso that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies.
