A Book of Remembrance
16 Then those (C)who feared the Lord (D)spoke to one another,
And the Lord listened and heard them;
So (E)a book of remembrance was written before Him
For those who fear the Lord
And who [b]meditate on His name.
17 “They(F) shall be Mine,” says the Lord of hosts,
“On the day that I make them My (G)jewels.[c]
And (H)I will spare them
As a man spares his own son who serves him.”
18 (I)Then you shall again discern
Between the righteous and the wicked,
Between one who serves God
And one who does not serve Him.

New King James Version
Watering, Working, Warning
5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but (A)ministers through whom you believed, as the Lord gave to each one? 6 (B)I planted, (C)Apollos watered, (D)but God gave the increase. 7 So then (E)neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase. 8 Now he who plants and he who waters are one, (F)and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor.
9 For (G)we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are (H)God’s building. 10 (I)According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid (J)the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it. 11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than (K)that which is laid, (L)which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 13 each one’s work will become clear; for the Day (M)will declare it, because (N)it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is. 14 If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. 15 If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.

New King James Version
18 For behold, I have made you this day
(A)A fortified city and an iron pillar,
And bronze walls against the whole land—
Against the kings of Judah,
Against its princes,
Against its priests,
And against the people of the land.
19 They will fight against you,
But they shall not prevail against you.
For I am with you,” says the Lord, “to deliver you.”

The Servant, the Light to the Gentiles
49 “Listen, (A)O coastlands, to Me,
And take heed, you peoples from afar!
(B)The Lord has called Me from the womb;
From the [a]matrix of My mother He has made mention of My name.
2 And He has made (C)My mouth like a sharp sword;
(D)In the shadow of His hand He has hidden Me,
And made Me (E)a polished shaft;
In His quiver He has hidden Me.”
3 “And He said to me,
(F)‘You are My servant, O Israel,
(G)In whom I will be glorified.’
4 (H)Then I said, ‘I have labored in vain,
I have spent my strength for nothing and in vain;
Yet surely my [b]just reward is with the Lord,
And my [c]work with my God.’ ”
