31:20 Indeed, the people of Israel are my dear children.
They are the children I take delight in.
For even though I must often rebuke them,
I still remember them with fondness.
So I am deeply moved with pity for them
and will surely have compassion on them.
I, the Lord, affirm it!
11:8 How can I give you up,
How can I surrender you, O Israel?
How can I treat you like Admah?
How can I make you like Zeboiim?
I have had a change of heart!
All my tender compassions are aroused!
2:1 Therefore, if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort provided by love, any fellowship in the Spirit,
3:12 Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with a heart of mercy,
3:1 Therefore, if you have been raised with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
