Isaiah 34

34:1 Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye peoples: let the earth hear, and the fulness thereof; the world, and all things that come forth from it.
34:2 For Jehovah hath indignation against all the nations, and wrath against all their host: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter.
34:3 Their slain also shall be cast out, and the stench of their dead bodies shall come up; and the mountains shall be melted with their blood.
34:4 And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll; and all their host shall fade away, as the leaf fadeth from off the vine, and as a fading leaf from the fig-tree.
34:5 For my sword hath drunk its fill in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Edom, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment.
34:6 The sword of Jehovah is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams; for Jehovah hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
34:7 And the wild-oxen shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls: and their land shall be drunken with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.
34:8 For Jehovah hath a day of vengeance, a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.
34:9 And the streams of Edom shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch.
34:10 It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall go up for ever; from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it for ever and ever.
34:11 But the pelican and the porcupine shall possess it; and the owl and the raven shall dwell therein: and he will stretch over it the line of confusion, and the plummet of emptiness.
34:12 They shall call the nobles thereof to the kingdom, but none shall be there; and all its princes shall be nothing.
34:13 And thorns shall come up in its palaces, nettles and thistles in the fortresses thereof; and it shall be a habitation of jackals, a court for ostriches.
34:14 And the wild beasts of the desert shall meet with the wolves, and the wild goat shall cry to his fellow; yea, the night-monster shall settle there, and shall find her a place of rest.
34:15 There shall the dart-snake make her nest, and lay, and hatch, and gather under her shade; yea, there shall the kites be gathered, every one with her mate.
34:16 Seek ye out of the book of Jehovah, and read: no one of these shall be missing, none shall want her mate; for my mouth, it hath commanded, and his Spirit, it hath gathered them.
34:17 And he hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath divided it unto them by line: they shall possess it for ever; from generation to generation shall they dwell therein.

Psalm 91

91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
91:2 I will say of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in whom I trust.
91:3 For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, And from the deadly pestilence.
91:4 He will cover thee with his pinions, And under his wings shalt thou take refuge: His truth is a shield and a buckler.
91:5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, Nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
91:6 For the pestilence that walketh in darkness, Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
91:7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, And ten thousand at thy right hand; But it shall not come nigh thee.
91:8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, And see the reward of the wicked.
91:9 For thou, O Jehovah, art my refuge! Thou hast made the Most High thy habitation;
91:10 There shall no evil befall thee, Neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent.
91:11 For he will give his angels charge over thee, To keep thee in all thy ways.
91:12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
91:13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: The young lion and the serpent shalt thou trample under foot.
91:14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
91:15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble: I will deliver him, and honor him.
91:16 With long life will I satisfy him, And show him my salvation.

Ephesians 2:11-22

2:11 Wherefore remember, that once ye, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called Circumcision, in the flesh, made by hands;
2:12 that ye were at that time separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world.
2:13 But now in Christ Jesus ye that once were far off are made nigh in the blood of Christ.
2:14 For he is our peace, who made both one, and brake down the middle wall of partition,
2:15 having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; that he might create in himself of the two one new man, so making peace;
2:16 and might reconcile them both in one body unto God through the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
2:17 and he came and preached peace to you that were far off, and peace to them that were nigh:
2:18 for through him we both have our access in one Spirit unto the Father.
2:19 So then ye are no more strangers and sojourners, but ye are fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God,
2:20 being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief corner stone;
2:21 in whom each several building, fitly framed together, groweth into a holy temple in the Lord;
2:22 in whom ye also are builded together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.
