Page 212 - Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel...
Page 169 - LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid : thou hast loosed my bonds.

Page 171 - What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?
Page 32 - One thing have I desired of the LORD, which I will require, even that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the fair beauty of the LORD, and to visit his temple.
