30:16 You say, ‘No, we will flee on horses,’
so you will indeed flee.
You say, ‘We will ride on fast horses,’
so your pursuers will be fast.
31:3 The Egyptians are mere humans, not God;
their horses are made of flesh, not spirit.
The Lord will strike with 1 his hand;
the one who helps will stumble
and the one being helped will fall.
Together they will perish. 2
34:16 Carefully read the scroll of the Lord! 3
Not one of these creatures will be missing, 4
none will lack a mate. 5
For the Lord has issued the decree, 6
and his own spirit gathers them. 7
55:11 In the same way, the promise that I make
does not return to me, having accomplished nothing. 10
No, it is realized as I desire
and is fulfilled as I intend.” 11
57:15 For this is what the high and exalted one says,
the one who rules 12 forever, whose name is holy:
“I dwell in an exalted and holy place,
but also with the discouraged and humiliated, 13
in order to cheer up the humiliated
and to encourage the discouraged. 14
58:3 They lament, 15 ‘Why don’t you notice when we fast?
Why don’t you pay attention when we humble ourselves?’
Look, at the same time you fast, you satisfy your selfish desires, 16
you oppress your workers. 17
