Psalms 78:60-61

60He ^aforsook his dwelling at ^bShiloh,
the tent where he dwelt among mankind,
61and delivered his ^cpower to captivity,
his ^dglory to the hand of the foe.

Isaiah 49:14-23

14 But Zion said, ^e“The Lord has forsaken me;
my Lord has forgotten me.”
15 ^f“Can a woman forget her nursing child,
that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb?
Even these may forget,
yet I will not forget you.
16Behold, ^gI have engraved you on the palms of my hands;
your walls are continually before me.
17Your builders make haste; ▼

▼Dead Sea Scroll; Masoretic Text  Your children make haste

ⁱyour destroyers and those who laid you waste go out from you.
18 ^jLift up your eyes around and see;
they all gather, they come to you.
^kAs I live, declares the Lord,
^lyou shall put them all on as an ornament;
you shall bind them on as a bride does.
19 “Surely your waste and your desolate places
and your devastated land—
^msurely now you will be too narrow for your inhabitants,
and those who swallowed you up will be far away.
20 ⁿThe children of your bereavement
will yet say in your ears:
^o‘The place is too narrow for me;
make room for me to dwell in.’
21Then you will say in your heart:
‘Who has borne me these?
^pI was bereaved and barren,
exiled and put away,
but who has brought up these?
Behold, I was left alone;
from where have these come?’”
22 Thus says the Lord God:
“Behold, I will lift up my hand to the nations,
^qand raise my signal to the peoples;
^rand they shall bring your sons in their arms, ▼

▼Hebrew  in their bosom

and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders.
23 ^tKings shall be your foster fathers,
and their queens your nursing mothers.
^uWith their faces to the ground they shall bow down to you,
and ^vlick the dust of your feet.
Then you will know that I am the Lord;
^wthose who wait for me ^xshall not be put to shame.”

Isaiah 54:6-14

6 ^yFor the Lord has called you
like a wife deserted and grieved in spirit,
like a wife of youth when she is cast off,
says your God.
7 ^zFor a brief moment I deserted you,
but with great compassion I will gather you.
8 ^aaIn overflowing anger for a moment
I hid my face from you,
^abbut with everlasting love I will have compassion on you,”
says the Lord, your Redeemer.
9 “This is like ^acthe days of Noah ▼

▼Some manuscripts For this is as the waters of Noah

to me:
as I swore that the waters of Noah
should no more go over the earth,
so I have sworn that I will not be angry with you,
and will not rebuke you.
10For the mountains may depart
and the hills be removed,
but my steadfast love shall not depart from you,
and ^aemy covenant of peace shall not be removed,”
says the Lord, who has compassion on you.
11 ^af“O afflicted one, storm-tossed and not comforted,
behold, ^agI will set your stones in antimony,
^ahand lay your foundations with sapphires. ▼

▼Or lapis lazuli

12I will make your pinnacles of agate, ▼

▼Or jasper, or ruby

your gates of carbuncles, ▼

▼Or crystal

and all your wall of precious stones.
13 ^alAll your children ^amshall be taught by the Lord,
^anand great shall be the peace of your children.
14In righteousness you shall be established;
you shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear;
and from terror, for it shall not come near you.

Jeremiah 30:17

17 ^aoFor I will restore ^aphealth to you,
and ^aqyour wounds I will heal,

declares the Lord,
because ^arthey have called you an outcast:
^as‘It is Zion, for whom no one cares!’

Lamentations 1:1-2

How Lonely Sits the City

1 ^atHow lonely sits the city
that was full of people!
How like ^aua widow has she become,
she who was great among the nations!
She who was ^ava princess among the provinces
has become ^awa slave.
2 ^axShe weeps bitterly in the night,
with tears on her cheeks;
^ayamong all her lovers
she has ^aznone to comfort her;
^baall her friends have dealt treacherously with her;
they have become her enemies.

Revelation of John 11:2

2but do not measure ^bbthe court outside the temple; leave that out, for ^bcit is given over to the nations, and they will trample the holy city for ^bdforty-two months.

Revelation of John 11:15-17

The Seventh Trumpet

15Then ^bethe seventh angel blew his trumpet, and ^bfthere were loud voices in heaven, saying, ^bg“The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of ^bhhis Christ, and ^bihe shall reign forever and ever.” 16And the twenty-four elders ^bjwho sit on their thrones before God ^bkfell on their faces and worshiped God, 17saying,

“We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty,
^blwho is and who was,
for you have taken your great power
and ^bmbegun to reign.
