Genesis 17:1-3
New King James Version
The Sign of the Covenant(A)
17 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord (B)appeared to Abram and said to him, (C)“I am [a]Almighty God; (D)walk before Me and be (E)blameless. 2 And I will make My (F)covenant between Me and you, and (G)will multiply you exceedingly.” 3 Then Abram fell on his face, and God talked with him, saying:

New King James Version
22 (A)I have blotted out, like a thick cloud, your transgressions,
And like a cloud, your sins.
Return to Me, for (B)I have redeemed you.”
23 (C)Sing, O heavens, for the Lord has done it!
Shout, you lower parts of the earth;
Break forth into singing, you mountains,
O forest, and every tree in it!
For the Lord has redeemed Jacob,
And (D)glorified Himself in Israel.
Judah Will Be Restored
24 Thus says the Lord, (E)your Redeemer,
And (F)He who formed you from the womb:
“I am the Lord, who makes all things,
(G)Who stretches out the heavens [a]all alone,
Who spreads abroad the earth by Myself;
25 Who (H)frustrates the signs (I)of the babblers,
And drives diviners mad;
Who turns wise men backward,
(J)And makes their knowledge foolishness;
26 (K)Who confirms the word of His servant,
And performs the counsel of His messengers;
Who says to Jerusalem, ‘You shall be inhabited,’
To the cities of Judah, ‘You shall be built,’
And I will raise up her waste places;
27 (L)Who says to the deep, ‘Be dry!
And I will dry up your rivers’;
28 Who says of (M)Cyrus, ‘He is My shepherd,
And he shall perform all My pleasure,
Saying to Jerusalem, (N)“You shall be built,”
And to the temple, “Your foundation shall be laid.” ’

New King James Version
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, (A)“He catches the wise in their own craftiness”; 20 and again, (B)“The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.” 21 Therefore let no one boast in men. For (C)all things are yours: 22 whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas, or the world or life or death, or things present or things to come—all are yours. 23 And (D)you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.
