2 The works of the LORD are great and are sought out by all those who love them.
3 His work is beautiful and glorious; and His righteousness endures forever.
4 He has made His wonderful works to be held in remembrance. The LORD is merciful and full of compassion.
5 He has given a portion to those who fear Him. He will be ever-mindful of His Covenant.
6 He has shown the power of His works to His people, in giving to them the heritage of the heathen.
7 The works of His hands are truth and judgment. All His statutes are true.
8 They are established forever and ever and are done in truth and equity.
9 He sent redemption to His people. He has commanded His Covenant forever. Holy and fearful is His Name.
10 The beginning of wisdom is the fear of the LORD. All those who observe them have good understanding. His praise endures forever. Praise the LORD
23 “And I implored the LORD at the same time, saying,
24 ‘O LORD God, You have begun to show Your servant Your greatness and Your mighty hand. For where is there a God in Heaven or on Earth, that can match Your works and Your power?
25 ‘I beg You, let me go over and see the good land that is beyond Jordan, those pleasant mountains, and Lebanon.’
26 “But the LORD was angry with me for your sakes and would not hear me. And the LORD said to me, ‘Let it satisfy you. Speak no more to Me of this matter.
27 ‘Get up to the top of Pisgah and lift up your eyes westward and northward and southward and eastward and behold it with your eyes. For you shall not go over this Jordan.
28 ‘But charge Joshua and encourage him and embolden him. For he shall go before this people. And he shall divide to them for an inheritance the land which you shall see.’
29 “So we stayed in the valley, near Beth Peor.”
6 Notwithstanding, it cannot be that the Word of God should take no effect. For not all are Israel who are of Israel.
7 Nor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham. But: “In Isaac shall your seed be called.”
8 That is, those who are the children of the flesh are not the children of God. But the children of the promise are counted as the seed.
9 For this is a Word of Promise: “At this time I will come, and Sarah shall have a son”;
10 and not only her, but Rebecca also, when she had conceived by one, even by our Father, Isaac.
11 For before the children were born - and when they had done neither good nor evil (so that the purpose of God might remain according to election; not by works, but by Him Who calls) -
12 it was said to her: “The Elder shall serve the younger.”
13 As it is written: “I have loved Jacob and have hated Esau.”
14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? Absolutely not!
15 For he says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy and will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion.”
16 So then it is not in him who wills, nor in him who runs, but in God, Who shows mercy.
17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh: “For this same purpose I have raised you up, so that I might show My power in you; and that My Name might be declared throughout all the Earth.”
18 Therefore, He has mercy on whom He will. And whom He will, He hardens.
