The eyes

“And though they go into captivity before their enemies,
From there I will command the sword that it slay them,
And I will set My eyes against them for evil and not for good.”

And He watches all his paths.

Watching the evil and the good.

No birth, no pregnancy and no conception!

Though he flourishes among the reeds,
An east wind will come,
The wind of the Lord coming up from the wilderness;
And his fountain will become dry
And his spring will be dried up;
It will plunder his treasury of every precious article.

Saving

For the Lord your God is a compassionate God; He will not fail you nor destroy you nor forget the covenant with your fathers which He swore to them.

Like the striking of Him who has struck them, has He struck them?
Or like the slaughter of His slain, have they been slain?

But do not execute a complete destruction;
Strip away her branches,
For they are not the Lord’s.

For I will destroy completely all the nations where I have scattered you,
Only I will not destroy you completely.
But I will chasten you justly
And will by no means leave you unpunished.’

Thus says the Lord,
Who gives the sun for light by day
And the fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night,
Who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar;

“And it will come about that whoever calls on the name of the Lord
Will be delivered;

All the nations will drink continually.
They will drink and swallow
And become as if they had never existed.
