Isaiah 45:17

Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.

For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed.”

Yes, no one who waits for you will be shamed. They will be shamed who deal treacherously without cause.

“Don’t be afraid, for you will not be ashamed. Don’t be confounded, for you will not be disappointed. For you will forget the shame of your youth. You will remember the reproach of your widowhood no more.

Because it is contained in Scripture, “Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, chosen and precious: He who believes in him will not be disappointed.”

Kings shall be your foster fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers. They will bow down to you with their faces to the earth, and lick the dust of your feet. Then you will know that I am Yahweh; and those who wait for me shall not be disappointed.”

even as it is written, “Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and a rock of offense; and no one who believes in him will be disappointed.”

Trust in Yahweh forever; for in Yah, Yahweh, is an everlasting Rock.

But Yahweh’s loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him, his righteousness to children’s children,

Yahweh appeared of old to me, saying, “Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love. Therefore I have drawn you with loving kindness.

Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him, and he in God.

Yahweh is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him.

and so all Israel will be saved. Even as it is written, “There will come out of Zion the Deliverer, and he will turn away ungodliness from Jacob.

“Most certainly I tell you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life, and doesn’t come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.

All the offspring of Israel will be justified in Yahweh, and will rejoice!

In overflowing wrath I hid my face from you for a moment, but with everlasting loving kindness I will have mercy on you,” says Yahweh your Redeemer.

The sun will be no more your light by day; nor will the brightness of the moon give light to you, but Yahweh will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory.

This is the will of the one who sent me, that everyone who sees the Son, and believes in him, should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”

Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,

My soul, wait in silence for God alone, for my expectation is from him.

Therefore Yahweh, who redeemed Abraham, says concerning the house of Jacob: “Jacob shall no longer be ashamed, neither shall his face grow pale.

Therefore the Lord Yahweh says, “Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious cornerstone of a sure foundation. He who believes shall not act hastily.

Having been made perfect, he became to all of those who obey him the author of eternal salvation,

But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.

but those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint.

For the moth will eat them up like a garment, and the worm will eat them like wool; but my righteousness will be forever, and my salvation to all generations.”

He who believes in him is not judged. He who doesn’t believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God.

There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don’t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree,”

But as for me, I will look to Yahweh. I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me.

I give eternal life to them. They will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.

Wait for Yahweh. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Yahweh.

It shall be said in that day, “Behold, this is our God! We have waited for him, and he will save us! This is Yahweh! We have waited for him. We will be glad and rejoice in his salvation!”

Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look at the earth beneath; for the heavens will vanish away like smoke, and the earth will wear out like a garment. Its inhabitants will die in the same way, but my salvation will be forever, and my righteousness will not be abolished.

He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who disbelieves will be condemned.

One who believes in the Son has eternal life, but one who disobeys the Son won’t see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.”

But if we hope for that which we don’t see, we wait for it with patience.

Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress; so our eyes look to Yahweh, our God, until he has mercy on us.

Yahweh’s name is a strong tower: the righteous run to him, and are safe.

But Yahweh is with me as an awesome mighty one. Therefore my persecutors will stumble, and they won’t prevail. They will be utterly disappointed, because they have not dealt wisely, even with an everlasting dishonor which will never be forgotten.

“A Redeemer will come to Zion, and to those who turn from disobedience in Jacob,” says Yahweh.

But I will have mercy on the house of Judah, and will save them by Yahweh their God, and will not save them by bow, sword, battle, horses, or horsemen.”

I drew them with cords of a man, with ties of love; and I was to them like those who lift up the yoke on their necks; and I bent down to him and I fed him.

In that day you will not be disappointed for all your doings, in which you have transgressed against me; for then I will take away out from among you your proudly exulting ones, and you will no more be arrogant in my holy mountain.

Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;

and hope doesn’t disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,

Our soul has waited for Yahweh. He is our help and our shield.

I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on himself, his crown will shine.”

No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of Yahweh’s servants, and their righteousness is of me,” says Yahweh.

and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith,

Wait for Yahweh, and keep his way, and he will exalt you to inherit the land. When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.

The stone which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.

Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, yes rather, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new.

What agreement does a temple of God have with idols? For you are a temple of the living God. Even as God said, “I will dwell in them and walk in them. I will be their God and they will be my people.”

We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. He who doesn’t love his brother remains in death.

Yes, he loves the people. All his saints are in your hand. They sat down at your feet. Each receives your words.

Oh keep my soul, and deliver me. Let me not be disappointed, for I take refuge in you.

Don’t let those who wait for you be shamed through me, Lord Yahweh of Armies. Don’t let those who seek you be brought to dishonor through me, God of Israel.

“Look to me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.

Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.

Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

This is the will of my Father who sent me, that of all he has given to me I should lose nothing, but should raise him up at the last day.

Most certainly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word, he will never see death.”

but these are written, that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name.

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.

being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone;

For it became him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many children to glory, to make the author of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

This is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

Most certainly, I tell you, he who believes in me has eternal life.

You are happy, Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by Yahweh, the shield of your help, the sword of your excellency? Your enemies will submit themselves to you. You will tread on their high places.”

Behold, God is my salvation. I will trust, and will not be afraid; for Yah, Yahweh, is my strength and song; and he has become my salvation.”

In those days Judah will be saved, and Jerusalem will dwell safely. This is the name by which she will be called: Yahweh our righteousness.”

You will have plenty to eat, and be satisfied, and will praise the name of Yahweh, your God, who has dealt wondrously with you; and my people will never again be disappointed.

But I will sacrifice to you with the voice of thanksgiving. I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation belongs to Yahweh.”

I won’t hide my face from them any more; for I have poured out my Spirit on the house of Israel,’ says the Lord Yahweh.”

according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will in no way be disappointed, but with all boldness, as always, now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.

Now, little children, remain in him, that when he appears, we may have boldness, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

I cling to your statutes, Yahweh. Don’t let me be disappointed.

Uphold me according to your word, that I may live. Let me not be ashamed of my hope.

Most certainly you are a God who has hidden yourself, God of Israel, the Savior.’ ”

Truly help from the hills, the tumult on the mountains, is in vain. Truly the salvation of Israel is in Yahweh our God.

In his days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell safely. This is his name by which he will be called: Yahweh our righteousness.

to grant to us that we, being delivered out of the hand of our enemies, should serve him without fear,

Greet Andronicus and Junia, my relatives and my fellow prisoners, who are notable among the apostles, who were also in Christ before me.

Because of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:

that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

who by the power of God are guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

Beloved, while I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I was constrained to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.
