Then I would still have this consolation— my joy in unrelenting pain— that I had not denied the words of the Holy One.

This would be my comfort; I would even exult in pain unsparing, for I have not denied the words of the Holy One.

At least I can take comfort in this: Despite the pain, I have not denied the words of the Holy One.

Then I would still have comfort; Though in anguish I would exult, He will not spare; For I have not concealed the words of the Holy One.

And be it still my consolation, Yea, let me exult in pain that spareth not, That I have not denied the words of the Holy One.

“ Speak to the whole community of Israel. Tell them,‘ Be holy, because I am holy. I am the Lord your God.

I haven’t disobeyed his commands. I’ve treasured his words more than my daily bread.

The God who is highly honored lives forever. His name is holy. He says,“ I live in a high and holy place. But I also live with anyone who turns away from their sins. I live with anyone who is not proud. I give new life to them. I give it to anyone who turns away from their sins.

With my lips I talk about all the decisions you have made.

“ Here is what I command you to write to the church in Philadelphia. Here are the words of Jesus, who is holy and true. He holds the key of David. No one can shut what he opens. And no one can open what he shuts. He says,

The soil in the valley will be pleasant to those who have died. Many people will walk along behind their bodies. Many others will walk in front of them.

The mouths of those who do what is right speak words of wisdom. They say what is honest.

God did not spare his own Son. He gave him up for us all. Then won’t he also freely give us everything else?

Do what he teaches you to do. Keep his words in your heart.

God did not spare angels when they sinned. Instead, he sent them to hell. He chained them up in dark prisons. He will keep them there until he judges them.God did not spare the world’s ungodly people long ago. He brought the flood on them. But Noah preached about the right way to live. God kept him safe. He also saved seven others.

I have told the whole community of those who worship you. I have told them what you have done to save me. Lord, you know that I haven’t kept quiet.I haven’t kept to myself that what you did for me was right. I have spoken about how faithful you were when you saved me. I haven’t hidden your love and your faithfulness from the whole community.

God came from Teman. The Holy One came from Mount Paran. His glory covered the heavens. His praise filled the earth.

Each of the four living creatures had six wings. Each creature was covered all over with eyes. It had eyes even under its wings. Day and night, they never stop saying,“‘ Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God who rules over all.’( Isaiah 6:3) He was, and he is, and he will come.”

You know that nothing has kept me from preaching whatever would help you. I have taught you in public and from house to house.

I will not be so angry with you anymore. I will not completely destroy you again. After all, I am God. I am not a mere man. I am the Holy One among you. I will not direct my anger against their cities.

God, ever since I was young you have taught me. To this very day I tell about your wonderful acts.God, don’t leave me even when I’m old and have gray hair. Let me live to tell my children about your power. Let me tell all of them about your mighty acts.

Lord, haven’t you existed forever? You are my holy God. You will never die. Lord, you have appointed the Babylonians to punish your people. My Rock, you have chosen them to judge us.

His wisdom is deep. His power is great. No one opposes him and comes away unharmed.

Why is life given to those who are actually happy and glad when they reach the grave?

Get out of our way! Get off our path! Keep the Holy One of Israel away from us!’ ”So the Holy One of Israel speaks. He says,“ You have turned your backs on what I have said. You have depended on telling people lies. You have crushed others.

“ There isn’t anyone holy like the Lord. There isn’t anyone except him. There isn’t any Rock like our God.

I haven’t let anyone keep me from telling you everything God wants you to do.

The Lord will never be willing to forgive those people. His great anger will blaze out against them. All the curses I’ve written down in this book will fall on them. And the Lord will erase any mention of them from the earth.
