And we shall walk in His paths.”
For out of Zion the law shall go forth,
And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

That living (A)waters shall flow from Jerusalem,
Half of them toward [a]the eastern sea
And half of them toward [b]the western sea;
In both summer and winter it shall occur.
9 And the Lord shall be (B)King over all the earth.
In that day it shall be—
(C)“The Lord is one,”
And His name one.

Qualities Needed in Trials
19 [a]So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, (A)slow to speak, (B)slow to wrath; 20 for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God.
Doers—Not Hearers Only
21 Therefore (C)lay aside all filthiness and [b]overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, (D)which is able to save your souls.
22 But (E)be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23 For (F)if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; 24 for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. 25 But (G)he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, (H)this one will be blessed in what he does.

Isaiah 42:1-4
New King James Version
The Servant of the Lord
42 “Behold! (A)My Servant whom I uphold,
My [a]Elect One in whom My soul (B)delights!
(C)I have put My Spirit upon Him;
He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.
2 He will not cry out, nor raise His voice,
Nor cause His voice to be heard in the street.
3 A bruised reed He will not break,
And [b]smoking flax He will not [c]quench;
He will bring forth justice for truth.
4 He will not fail nor be discouraged,
Till He has established justice in the earth;
(D)And the coastlands shall wait for His law.”

Israel Rejects the Gospel
14 How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear (F)without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written:
(G)“How beautiful are the feet of those who [a]preach the gospel of peace,
Who bring glad tidings of good things!”
16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, (H)“Lord, who has believed our report?” 17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
18 But I say, have they not heard? Yes indeed:
(I)“Their sound has gone out to all the earth,
And their words to the ends of the world.”

(F)Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him. 28 Come to (G)Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you (H)and learn from Me, for I am [a]gentle and (I)lowly in heart, (J)and you will find rest for your souls. 30 (K)For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
