Genesis 50:17-20
English Standard Version
17 ‘Say to Joseph, “Please forgive the transgression of your brothers and their sin, because they did evil to you.”’ And now, please forgive the transgression of the servants of (A)the God of your father.” Joseph wept when they spoke to him. 18 His brothers also came and (B)fell down before him and said, “Behold, we are your servants.” 19 But Joseph said to them, “Do not fear, for (C)am I in the place of God? 20 As for you, you meant evil against me, but (D)God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people[a] should be kept alive, as they are today.

Psalm 66:6-12
English Standard Version
6 He (A)turned the sea into dry land;
they (B)passed through the river on foot.
There did we rejoice in him,
7 who rules by his might forever,
whose (C)eyes keep watch on the nations—
let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah
8 Bless our God, O peoples;
let the sound of his praise be heard,
9 who has kept our soul among the living
and (D)has not let our feet slip.
10 For you, O God, have (E)tested us;
you have tried us as silver is tried.
11 You brought us into (F)the net;
you laid a crushing burden on our backs;
12 you let men (G)ride over our heads;
we went through fire and through (H)water;
yet you have brought us out to a place of abundance.
Isaiah 46:9-10
English Standard Version
9 remember the former things of old;
for I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and there is none like me,
10 (A)declaring the end from the beginning
and from ancient times things not yet done,
saying, (B)‘My counsel shall stand,
and I will accomplish all my purpose,’
Isaiah 63:9
English Standard Version
9 (A)In all their affliction he was afflicted,[a]
and the angel of his presence saved them;
(B)in his love and in his pity he redeemed them;
(C)he lifted them up and carried them all the days of old.
