41:13For I am the Lord your God, who take you by the hand, and say to you: Fear not, I have helped you.

14Fear not, you worm of Jacob, you that are dead of Israel: I have helped you, says the Lord: and your Redeemer the Holy One of Israel.

15I have made you as a new thrashing wain, with teeth like a saw: you shall thrash the mountains, and break them in pieces: and shall make the hills as chaff.

16You shall fan them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and you shall rejoice in the Lord, in the Holy One of Israel you shall be joyful.

17The needy and the poor seek for waters, and there are none: their tongue has been dry with thirst. I the Lord will hear them, I the God of Israel will not leave them.

18I will open rivers in the high bills, and fountains in the midst of the plains: I will turn the desert into pools of waters, and the impassable land into streams of waters.

19I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, and the thorn, and the myrtle, and the olive tree: I will set in the desert the fir tree, the elm, and the box tree together:

20That they may see and know, and consider, and understand together that the hand of the Lord has done this, and the Holy One of Israel has created it.

145:1Blessed be the Lord my God, who teacheth my hands to fight, and my fingers to war.

9To you, O God, I will sing a new canticle: on the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings I will sing praises to you.

10Who givest salvation to kings: who have redeemed your servant David from the malicious sword:

11Deliver me, And rescue me out of the hand of strange children; whose mouth has said emptiness: and their right hand is the right hand of sin:

12Whose sons are as new plants in their youth: Their daughters decked out, adorned round about after the similitude of a temple:

13Their storehouses full, flowing out of this into that. Their sheep fruitful in young, abounding in their goings forth:

11:11Amen I say to you, there has not risen among them that are born of women a greater than John the Baptist: yet he that is the lesser in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

12And from the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent bear it away.

13For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John:

14And if you will receive it, he is Elias that is to come.

15The one who has ears to hear, let him hear.
