Psalm 119:169-176
New King James Version
ת TAU
169 Let my cry come before You, O Lord;
(A)Give me understanding according to Your word.
170 Let my [a]supplication come before You;
Deliver me according to Your word.
171 (B)My lips shall utter praise,
For You teach me Your statutes.
172 My tongue shall speak of Your word,
For all Your commandments are righteousness.
173 Let Your hand become my help,
For (C)I have chosen Your precepts.
174 (D)I long for Your salvation, O Lord,
And (E)Your law is my delight.
175 Let my soul live, and it shall praise You;
And let Your judgments help me.
176 (F)I have gone astray like a lost sheep;
Seek Your servant,
For I do not forget Your commandments.

Isaiah 10:12-20
New King James Version
12 Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Lord has [a]performed all His work (A)on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, that He will say, (B)“I will punish the fruit of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his haughty looks.”
13 (C)For he says:
“By the strength of my hand I have done it,
And by my wisdom, for I am prudent;
Also I have removed the boundaries of the people,
And have robbed their treasuries;
So I have put down the inhabitants like a [b]valiant man.
14 (D)My hand has found like a nest the riches of the people,
And as one gathers eggs that are left,
I have gathered all the earth;
And there was no one who moved his wing,
Nor opened his mouth with even a peep.”
15 Shall (E)the ax boast itself against him who chops with it?
Or shall the saw exalt itself against him who saws with it?
As if a rod could wield itself against those who lift it up,
Or as if a staff could lift up, as if it were not wood!
16 Therefore the Lord, the [c]Lord of hosts,
Will send leanness among his fat ones;
And under his glory
He will kindle a burning
Like the burning of a fire.
17 So the Light of Israel will be for a fire,
And his Holy One for a flame;
(F)It will burn and devour
His thorns and his briers in one day.
18 And it will consume the glory of his forest and of (G)his fruitful field,
Both soul and body;
And they will be as when a sick man wastes away.
19 Then the rest of the trees of his forest
Will be so few in number
That a child may write them.
The Returning Remnant of Israel
20 And it shall come to pass in that day
That the remnant of Israel,
And such as have escaped of the house of Jacob,
(H)Will never again depend on him who [d]defeated them,
But will depend on the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.

John 7:25-36
New King James Version
Could This Be the Christ?
25 Now some of them from Jerusalem said, “Is this not He whom they seek to (A)kill? 26 But look! He speaks boldly, and they say nothing to Him. (B)Do the rulers know indeed that this is [a]truly the Christ? 27 (C)However, we know where this Man is from; but when the Christ comes, no one knows where He is from.”
28 Then Jesus cried out, as He taught in the temple, saying, (D)“You both know Me, and you know where I am from; and (E)I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me (F)is true, (G)whom you do not know. 29 [b]But (H)I know Him, for I am from Him, and He sent Me.”
30 Therefore (I)they sought to take Him; but (J)no one laid a hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come. 31 And (K)many of the people believed in Him, and said, “When the Christ comes, will He do more signs than these which this Man has done?”
Jesus and the Religious Leaders
32 The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things concerning Him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take Him. 33 Then Jesus said [c]to them, (L)“I shall be with you a little while longer, and then I (M)go to Him who sent Me. 34 You (N)will seek Me and not find Me, and where I am you (O)cannot come.”
35 Then the Jews said among themselves, “Where does He intend to go that we shall not find Him? Does He intend to go to (P)the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks? 36 What is this thing that He said, ‘You will seek Me and not find Me, and where I am you cannot come’?”
