Yesaya 24:18

24:18 The one who runs away from the sound of the terror

will fall into the pit; ¹ 

the one who climbs out of the pit,

will be trapped by the snare.

For the floodgates of the heavens ²  are opened up ³ 

and the foundations of the earth shake.

Yesaya 29:23

29:23 For when they see their children,

whom I will produce among them, ⁴ 

they will honor ⁵  my name.

They will honor the Holy One of Jacob; ⁶ 

they will respect ⁷  the God of Israel.

Yesaya 66:2

66:2 My hand made them; ⁸ 

that is how they came to be,” ⁹  says the Lord.

I show special favor ¹⁰  to the humble and contrite,

who respect what I have to say. ¹¹
