"I will stir up Egyptian against Egyptian— brother will fight against brother, neighbor against neighbor, city against city, kingdom against kingdom.

"I will hand the Egyptians over to the power of a cruel master, and a fierce king will rule over them," declares the Lord, the LORD Almighty."

"There is nothing Egypt can do— head or tail, palm branch or reed."

"In that day the Egyptians will be like women. They will shudder with fear at the uplifted hand that the LORD Almighty raises against them. 17 And the land of Judah will bring terror to the Egyptians; everyone to whom Judah is mentioned will be terrified, because of what the LORD Almighty is planning against them."

"See, the LORD is going to lay waste the earth and devastate it; he will ruin its face and scatter its inhabitants-"

"O LORD, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done marvelous things, things planned long ago."

"You have been a refuge for the poor, a refuge for the needy in his distress, a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat. For the breath of the ruthless is like a storm driving against a wall."

"Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD, the LORD, is the Rock eternal."

"This is what the LORD says: "Maintain justice and do what is right, for my salvation is close at hand and my righteousness will soon be revealed."

"Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest as they lie in death."

"But the wicked are like the tossing sea, which cannot rest, whose waves cast up mire and mud."

"There is no peace," says my God, "for the wicked."

"Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear."
