² For He says:

Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

⁸ Thus says the Lord:

⁷ again He designates a certain day, saying in David, “Today,” after such a long time, as it has been said:

¹³ but ^[a]exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

⁴² saying, “If you had known, even you, especially in this ^(A)your day, the things that ^(B)make for your ^(C)peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. ⁴³ For days will come upon you when your enemies will ^(D)build an embankment around you, surround you and close you in on every side, ^44 (E)and level you, and your children within you, to the ground; and ^(F)they will not leave in you one stone upon another, ^(G)because you did not know the time of your visitation.”

Be Faithful^(A)

⁷ Therefore, as ^(B)the Holy Spirit says:

⁸ “When I passed by you again and looked upon you, indeed your time was the time of love; ^(A)so I spread ^[a]My wing over you and covered your nakedness. Yes, I ^(B)swore an oath to you and entered into a ^(C)covenant with you, and ^(D)you became Mine,” says the Lord God.
