Page 524 - But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are : depart from me all ye workers of iniquity.
Page 356 - For as the rain cometh down, And the snow from heaven, And returneth not thither, But watereth the earth, And maketh it bring forth and bud, That it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: It shall not return unto me void, But it shall accomplish that which I please, And it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

Page 246 - The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble ; and he knoweth them that trust in him.
