Psalm 65:9-13
New American Standard Bible
9 You visit the earth and (A)cause it to overflow;
You greatly (B)enrich it;
The [a](C)stream of God is full of water;
You prepare their (D)grain, for so You prepare [b]the earth.
10 You water its furrows abundantly,
You [c]settle its ridges,
You soften it (E)with showers,
You bless its growth.
11 You have crowned the year [d]with Your (F)goodness,
And Your [e]paths (G)drip with fatness.
12 (H)The pastures of the wilderness drip,
And the (I)hills encircle themselves with rejoicing.
13 The meadows are (J)clothed with flocks
And the valleys are (K)covered with grain;
They (L)shout for joy, yes, they sing.

Isaiah 48:1-5
New American Standard Bible
Israel’s Obstinacy
48 “(A)Hear this, house of Jacob, who are named Israel
And who came from the (B)waters of Judah,
Who (C)swear by the name of the Lord
And invoke the God of Israel,
But not in truth nor in (D)righteousness.
2 For they name themselves after the (E)holy city,
And (F)lean on the God of Israel;
The Lord of armies is His name.
3 I (G)declared the former things long ago,
And they went out of My mouth, and I proclaimed them.
(H)Suddenly I acted, and they (I)came to pass.
4 Because I know that you are [a](J)obstinate,
And your (K)neck is an iron tendon
And your (L)forehead bronze,
5 Therefore I declared them to you long ago,
Before [b]they took place I proclaimed them to you,
So that you would not say, ‘My (M)idol has done them,
And my carved image and my cast metal image have commanded them.’

Romans 2:12-16
New American Standard Bible
12 For all who have sinned [a](A)without the Law will also perish [b]without the Law, and all who have sinned [c]under the Law will be judged [d]by the Law; 13 for it is (B)not the hearers [e]of the Law who are [f]righteous before God, but the doers [g]of the Law who will be justified. 14 For when Gentiles who do not have [h]the Law [i](C)instinctively perform the requirements of the Law, these, though not having [j]the Law, are a law to themselves, 15 in that they show (D)the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience testifying and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them, 16 on the day when, (E)according to my gospel, (F)God will judge the secrets of mankind through Christ Jesus.
