11 Therefore we also pray always for you that our God would (G)count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness and (H)the work of faith with power, 12 (I)that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Hebrews 4:9-16
New King James Version
9 There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. 10 For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His.
The Word Discovers Our Condition
11 (A)Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience. 12 For the word of God is (B)living and powerful, and (C)sharper than any (D)two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is (E)a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 (F)And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are (G)naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.
Our Compassionate High Priest
14 Seeing then that we have a great (H)High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, (I)let us hold fast our confession. 15 For (J)we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but (K)was in all points tempted as we are, (L)yet without sin. 16 (M)Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Isaiah 66:10-12
New King James Version
10 “Rejoice with Jerusalem,
And be glad with her, all you who love her;
Rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn for her;
11 That you may feed and be satisfied
With the consolation of her bosom,
That you may drink deeply and be delighted
With the abundance of her glory.”
12 For thus says the Lord:
“Behold, (A)I will extend peace to her like a river,
And the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream.
Then you shall (B)feed;
On her sides shall you be (C)carried,
And be dandled on her knees.
