Isaiah 25

  1 O Lord, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for
thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and
truth.
  2 For thou hast made of a city an heap; of a defenced city a ruin: a palace
of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built.
  3 Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee, the city of the terrible
nations shall fear thee.
  4 For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his
distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of
the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.
  5 Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat in a dry place;
even the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch of the terrible ones shall
be brought low.
  6 And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto all people a feast
of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of
wines on the lees well refined.
  7 And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all
people, and the vail that is spread over all nations.
  8 He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears
from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off
all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it.
  9 And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for
him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be
glad and rejoice in his salvation.

Genesis 9

  8 And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
  9 And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after
you;
  10 And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the
cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the
ark, to every beast of the earth.
  11 And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut
off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood
to destroy the earth.
  12 And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me
and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
  13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant
between me and the earth.
  14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the
bow shall be seen in the cloud:
  15 And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every
living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to
destroy all flesh.
  16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may
remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all
flesh that is upon the earth.
  17 And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have
established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.

Proverbs 12

  8 A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a
perverse heart shall be despised.
  9 He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better than he that honoureth
himself, and lacketh bread.
  10 A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of
the wicked are cruel.
  11 He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that
followeth vain persons is void of understanding.
  12 The wicked desireth the net of evil men: but the root of the righteous
yieldeth fruit.
  13 The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall
come out of trouble.
  14 A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: and the
recompence of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him.
  15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto
counsel is wise.
  16 A fool's wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame.
  17 He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness
deceit.
  18 There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of
the wise is health.
  19 The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but
for a moment.
  20 Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors
of peace is joy.
  21 There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled
with mischief.
  22 Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his
delight.
