30:28 His battle cry overwhelms like a flooding river
that reaches one’s neck.
He shakes the nations in a sieve that isolates the chaff;
he puts a bit into the mouth of the nations and leads them to destruction.
32:6 For a fool speaks disgraceful things;
his mind plans out sinful deeds.
He commits godless deeds
and says misleading things about the Lord;
he gives the hungry nothing to satisfy their appetite
and gives the thirsty nothing to drink.
45:8 O sky, rain down from above!
Let the clouds send down showers
Let the earth absorb it
and deliverance may sprout up
I, the Lord, create it.
52:5 And now, what do we have here?”
“Indeed my people have been carried away for nothing,
those who rule over them taunt,”
“and my name is constantly slandered
63:14 Like an animal that goes down into a valley to graze,
so the Spirit of the Lord granted them rest.
In this way
gaining for yourself an honored reputation.
