Rh :And give not Thy heritage to reproach,
 * That the nations should make them a byword.
 * Wherefore should they say among the peoples.
 * Where is their God?'
 * Then was the jealous for His land,
 * And had pity on His people.
 * And the answered and said unto His people:
 * 'Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil,
 * And ye shall be satisfied therewith;
 * And I will no more make you a reproach among the nations;
 * But I will remove far off from you the northern one,
 * And will drive him into a land barren and desolate,
 * With his face toward the eastern sea,
 * And his hinder part toward the western sea;
 * That his foulness may come up, and his ill savour may come up,
 * Because he hath done great things.'


 * Fear not, O land, be glad and rejoice;
 * For the hath done great things.
 * Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field;
 * For the pastures of the wilderness do spring,
 * For the tree beareth its fruit,
 * The fig-tree and the vine do yield their strength.
 * Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice
 * In the your God;
 * For He giveth you the former rain in just measure,
 * And He causeth to come down for you the rain,
 * The former rain and the latter rain, at the first.
 * And the floors shall be full of corn,
 * And the vats shall overflow with wine and oil.
 * And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten,
 * The canker-worm, and the caterpillar, and the palmer-worm,
 * My great army which I sent among you.
 * And ye shall eat in plenty and be satisfied,
 * And shall praise the name of the your God,
 * That hath dealt wondrously with you;
 * And My people shall never be ashamed.
 * And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel,
 * And that I am the your God, and there is none else;
 * And My people shall never be ashamed.


 * And it shall come to pass afterward,
 * That I will pour out My spirit upon all flesh;
 * And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
 * Your old men shall dream dreams,
 * Your young men shall see visions;
 * And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids
 * In those days will I pour out My spirit.
 * And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth,
 * Blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
 * The sun shall be turned into darkness,
 * And the moon into blood,
 * Before the great and terrible day of the come.
 * And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the shall be delivered;
