43 But now thus saith the Lord who created thee, O Jacob, and He that formed thee, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed thee; I have called thee by thy name; thou art Mine.

² When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee. When thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned, neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

³ For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Savior; I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.

⁴ Since thou wast precious in My sight, thou hast been honorable, and I have loved thee; therefore will I give men for thee and people for thy life.

⁵ Fear not, for I am with thee; I will bring thy seed from the east and gather thee from the west;

⁶ I will say to the north,‘ Give up,’ and to the south, ‘Keep not back.’ Bring My sons from far and My daughters from the ends of the earth,

⁷ even every one that is called by My name: For I have created him for My glory; I have formed him; yea, I have made him.”

29 Give unto the Lord, O ye mighty; give unto the Lord glory and strength.

² Give unto the Lord the glory due unto His name; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.

³ The voice of the Lord is upon the waters; the God of glory thundereth; the Lord is upon many waters.

⁴ The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is full of majesty.

⁵ The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedars; yea, the Lord breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.

⁶ He maketh them also to skip like a calf, Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn.

⁷ The voice of the Lord divideth the flames of fire.

⁸ The voice of the Lord shaketh the wilderness; the Lord shaketh the Wilderness of Kadesh.

⁹ The voice of the Lord maketh the hinds to calve, and layeth bare the forests, and in His temple doth every one speak of His glory.

¹⁰ The Lord sitteth over the flood; yea, the Lord sitteth as King for ever.

¹¹ The Lord will give strength unto His people; the Lord will bless His people with peace.

¹⁴ Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that amaria had received the Word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John,

¹⁵ who, when they had come down, prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Ghost.

¹⁶ (For as yet, He had fallen upon none of them, for they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus).

¹⁷ Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.

¹⁵ And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts whether John was the Christ or not,

¹⁶ John answered, saying unto them all, “I indeed baptize you with water; but One mightier than I cometh, the straps of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose. He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire.

¹⁷ His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly purge His floor and will gather the wheat into His garner; but the chaff He will burn with fire unquenchable.”

²¹ Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass that Jesus also was baptized. And while He prayed the heaven was opened,

²² and the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon Him, and a voice came from Heaven, which said, “Thou Art My Beloved Son; In Thee I Am Well Pleased.”
