10 My beloved speaks and says to me:
^a“Arise, my love, my beautiful one,
and come away,

^bthe rain is over and gone.
12 ^cThe flowers appear on the earth,
the time of singing ^{▼▼Or pruning} has come,
and the voice of ^ethe turtledove
is heard in our land.
13 ^fThe fig tree ripens its figs,
and ^gthe vines are in blossom;
they give forth fragrance.
^hArise, my love, my beautiful one,
and come away.

Isaiah 55:1-3

The Compassion of the Lord

1 ⁱ“Come, everyone who thirsts,
come to the waters;
and he who has no money,
^jcome, buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk
without money and without price.
2 ^kWhy do you spend your money for that which is not bread,
and your labor for that which does not satisfy?
Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good,
and delight yourselves in rich food.
3 Incline your ear, and come to me;
^lhear, that your soul may live;
^mand I will make with you an everlasting covenant,
ⁿmy steadfast, sure love for ^oDavid.

2 Corinthians 6:17-18

17 Therefore ^pgo out from their midst,
and be separate from them, says the Lord,
and touch no unclean thing;
then I will welcome you,
18 ^qand I will be a father to you,
and you shall be sons and daughters to me,
says the Lord Almighty.”

2 Corinthians 7:1

1 Since we have these promises, beloved, ^rlet us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body ^{▼▼Greek flesh} and spirit, bringing holiness to completion in the fear of God.
