Your words were found, and I ate them,And Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart;For I am called by Your name,O Lord God of hosts.

You who are named the house of Jacob:“Is the Spirit of the Lord restricted?Are these His doings?Do not My words do goodTo him who walks uprightly?

This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance.

For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

“Is not My word like a fire?” says the Lord,“And like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?

Therefore thus says the Lord God of hosts: “Because you speak this word,Behold, I will make My words in your mouth fire,And this people wood,And it shall devour them.

For the word of the Lord is right,And all His work is done in truth.

I have seen the consummation of all perfection,But Your commandment is exceedingly broad.

By awesome deeds in righteousness You will answer us,O God of our salvation,You who are the confidence of all the ends of the earth,And of the far-off seas;

By awesome deeds in righteousness You will answer us,O God of our salvation,You who are the confidence of all the ends of the earth,And of the far-off seas;
