Pieces

Hey there. I've chosen to make my blog somewhat of a scrapbook. Bible verses, poems, song lyrics, basically things that reflect me or are interesting or meaningful, are what I am going to include here. We'll see what happens as we go along.

Here is a chunk from Zephaniah 3 that quietly jumped out at me the other day:

14 Sing, O Daughter of Zion;
shout aloud, O Israel!
Be glad and rejoice with all your heart,
O Daughter of Jerusalem!
15 The LORD has taken away your punishment, he has
turned back your enemy. The LORD, the King
of Israel, is with you; never again will
you fear any harm.
16 On that day they will say to Jerusalem,
"Do not fear, O Zion;
do not let your hands hang limp.
17 The LORD your God is with you,
he is mighty to save. He will take great
delight in you, he will quiet you with his
love, he will rejoice over you with
singing."
18 "The sorrows for the appointed feasts
I will remove from you;
they are a burden and a reproach to you.
19 At that time I will deal with
all who oppressed you; I will rescue the
lame and gather those who have been
scattered. I will give them praise and
honor in every land where they were put to
shame.
20 At that time I will gather you;
at that time I will bring you home.
I will give you honor and praise
among all the peoples of the earth
when I restore your fortunes [c]
before your very eyes,"
says the LORD.
