“He remembered to help his servant Israel forever.
God is in that city. It cannot fall. God will help it at the break of dawn.
He has not forgotten to be merciful and faithful to Israel’s descendants. All the ends of the earth have seen how our God saves ⌞them⌟.
Remember these things, Jacob: You are my servant, Israel. I formed you; you are my servant. Israel, I will not forget you.
Is Ephraim my dear son? Is he a pleasant child? Even though I have often spoken against him, I still think fondly of him. That is why my heart longs for him, and I will certainly have compassion on him,” declares the Lord.
The Lord appeared to me in a faraway place and said, “I love you with an everlasting love. So I will continue to show you my kindness.
You will be faithful to Jacob. You will have mercy on Abraham as you swore by an oath to our ancestors long ago.
He fed hungry people with good food. He sent rich people away with nothing.
This is the promise he made to our ancestors, to Abraham and his descendants.”
