Isaiah‬ ‭43:22-26

 ““Jacob, you did not pray to me. Israel, you became tired of me. You have not brought your sheep as sacrifices to me. You have not honored me with your sacrifices. I did not force you to give gifts to me like slaves. I did not force you to burn incense until you became tired. So you did not use your money to buy things to honor me. 

But you did force me to be like your slave. You sinned until the bad things you did made me very tired. “I, I am the one who wipes away all your sins. I do this to please myself. I will not remember your sins. But you should remember me. Let’s meet together and decide what is right. Tell your story and prove that you are innocent.”

Isaiah‬ ‭43:1-5a

 “Jacob, the Lord created you. Israel, he made you, and now he says, “Don’t be afraid. I saved you. I named you. You are mine. When you have troubles, I am with you. When you cross rivers, you will not be hurt. When you walk through fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not hurt you. 

That’s because I, the Lord, am your God. I, the Holy One of Israel, am your Savior. I gave Egypt to pay for you. I gave Ethiopia and Seba to make you mine. You are precious to me, and I have given you a special place of honor. I love you. That’s why I am willing to trade others, to give up whole nations, to save your life. “So don’t be afraid, because I am with you.”

He will not cry out or shout or try to make himself heard in the streets. He will not break even a crushed reed. He will not put out even the weakest flame. He will bring true justice. He will not grow weak or give up until he has brought justice to the world. And people in faraway places will hope to receive his teachings.””

Romans 12:19‭-‬21

 My friends, don’t try to punish anyone who does wrong to you. Wait for God to punish them with his anger. In the Scriptures the Lord says, “I am the one who punishes; I will pay people back.”Deuteronomy 32:35 

But you should do this: “If you have enemies who are hungry, give them something to eat. If you have enemies who are thirsty, give them something to drink. In doing this you will make them feel ashamed.” Proverbs 25:21-22 

Don’t let evil defeat you, but defeat evil by doing good.

 ““The poor and needy look for water, but they cannot find any. Their tongues are dry with thirst. I, the Lord, will answer their prayers. I, the God of Israel, will not leave them to die. I will make rivers flow on dry hills. I will make springs of water flow through the valleys. I will change the desert into a lake filled with water. There will be springs of water in that dry land.”

Lord, use this hard time to make my spirit live again. Help my spirit become strong and healthy. Help me become well! Help me live again! Look, my troubles are gone! I now have peace.

Isaiah‬ ‭38:1-6

 “At that time Hezekiah became sick and almost died. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz went to see him and told him, “The Lord told me to tell you this: ‘You will die soon. So you should tell your family what they should do when you die. You will not get well.’”

 Hezekiah turned toward the wall that faced the Temple and began praying to the Lord. “ Lord, remember that I have faithfully served you with all my heart. I have done what you say is good.” Then Hezekiah cried very hard. 

Then Isaiah received this message from the Lord: “Go to Hezekiah and tell him that the Lord, the God of your ancestor David, says, ‘I heard your prayer, and I saw your tears. I will add 15 years to your life. I will save you and this city from the king of Assyria. I will protect this city.’””

 ““The people from the family of Judah who have escaped and are left alive will be like plants that send their roots deep into the ground and produce fruit above the ground. That is because a few people will come out of Jerusalem alive. There will be survivors coming from Mount Zion.” The strong love of the Lord All-Powerful will do this. 

So the Lord says this about the king of Assyria: “He will not come into this city or shoot an arrow here. He will not bring his shields up against this city or build up a hill of dirt to attack its walls. He will go back the way he came. He will not come into this city. The Lord says this! I will protect this city and save it. I will do this for myself and for my servant David.””

 “Do any of you need wisdom? Ask God for it. He is generous and enjoys giving to everyone. So he will give you wisdom. But when you ask God, you must believe. Don’t doubt him. Whoever doubts is like a wave in the sea that is blown up and down by the wind. People like that are thinking two different things at the same time. They can never decide what to do. So they should not think they will receive anything from the Lord.”

Good, honest people who refuse to hurt others for money will live through that fire. They refuse to take bribes or listen to plans to murder other people. They refuse to look at plans for doing bad things. They will live safely in high places. They will be protected in high rock fortresses. They will always have food and water. Your eyes will see the King in his beauty. You will see the great land.”

“Fools say foolish things, and in their minds they plan evil things to do. They want to do what is wrong. They say bad things about the Lord. They don’t let hungry people eat their food. They don’t let thirsty people drink the water. They use evil like a tool and plan ways to steal from the poor. They tell lies about the poor and keep them from being judged fairly. But a good leader plans good things to do, and that will make him a leader over other leaders.”

If men come and yell at the lion, the lion will not be afraid. They might make a lot of noise, but the lion will not run away.” In the same way, the Lord All-Powerful will come down to Mount Zion. He will fight on that hill. Just as birds fly over their nest to protect it, so the Lord All-Powerful will defend Jerusalem. He will save her. He will “pass over” and save Jerusalem.”
