“This is what the Lord says: “Let not the wise boast of their wisdom or the strong boast of their strength or the rich boast of their riches, but let the one who boasts boast about this: that they have the understanding to know me, that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight,” declares the Lord.”
“Where there are no oxen, the manger is empty, but from the strength of an ox come abundant harvests.”
“So may all your enemies perish, Lord! But may all who love you be like the sun when it rises in its strength.” Then the land had peace forty years.”
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.”
“In your unfailing love you will lead the people you have redeemed. In your strength you will guide them to your holy dwelling.”
