Zephaniah 2:13-15

New King James Version

¹³And He will stretch out His hand against the north,
^(A)Destroy Assyria,
And make Nineveh a desolation,
As dry as the wilderness.
¹⁴The herds shall lie down in her midst,
^(B)Every beast of the nation.
Both the ^(C)pelican and the bittern
Shall lodge on the capitals of her pillars;
Their voice shall sing in the windows;
Desolation shall be at the threshold;
For He will lay bare the ^(D)cedar work.
¹⁵This is the rejoicing city
^(E)That dwelt securely,
^(F)That said in her heart,
“I am it, and there is none besides me.”
How has she become a desolation,
A place for beasts to lie down!
Everyone who passes by her
^(G)Shall hiss and ^(H)shake his fist.

New King James Version

With God All Things Are Possible^(A)

²³Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Assuredly, I say to you that ^(B)it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. ²⁴And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”

²⁵When His disciples heard it, they were greatly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?”

²⁶But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but ^(C)with God all things are possible.”

²⁷Then Peter answered and said to Him, “See, ^(D)we have left all and followed You. Therefore what shall we have?”

²⁸So Jesus said to them, “Assuredly I say to you, that in the regeneration, when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory, ^(E)you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. ²⁹^(F)And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother ^[a]or wife or children or ^[b]lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life. ³⁰^(G)But many who are first will be last, and the last first.
