Job 14:14-16
14 If a man
dies, will he live again? All the days of my hard service I will wait for my
renewal to come.
15 You will
call and I will answer you; you will long for the creature your hands have
made.
16 Surely
then you will count my steps but not keep track of my sin.
1 John
5:13-14
13 I write
these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may
know that you have eternal life.
14 This is
the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to
his will, he hears us.
Ezekiel
40:1-5
1 In the
twenty-fifth year of our exile, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth of
the month, in the fourteenth year after the fall of the city—on that very day
the hand of the LORD was upon me and he took me there.
2 In visions
of God he took me to the land of Israel and set me on a very high mountain, on
whose south side was some buildings that looked like a city.
3 He took me
there, and I saw a man whose appearance was like bronze; he was standing in the
gateway with a linen cord and a measuring rod in his hand.
4 The
man said to me, “Son of man, look with your eyes and hear with your ears and
pay attention to everything I am going to show you, for that is why you have
been brought here. Tell the house of Israel everything you see.”
5 I saw a
wall completely surrounding the temple area. The length of the measuring rod in
the man's hand was six long cubits, each of which was a cubit and a handbreadth.
He measured the wall; it was one measuring rod thick and one rod high.
Deuteronomy
9:5-7
5 It is not
because of your righteousness or your integrity that you are going in to take
possession of their land; but on account of the wickedness of these nations,
the LORD your God will drive them out before you, to accomplish what he swore
to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
6
Understand, then, that it is not because of your righteousness that the LORD
your God is giving you this good land to possess, for you are a stiff-necked
people.
7 Remember
this and never forget how you provoked the LORD your God to anger in the
desert. From the day you left Egypt until you arrived here, you have been
rebellious against the LORD.
