for he says, *At an acceptable time I listened to you, in a day of salvation I helped you.* Behold, now is the acceptable time. Behold, now is the day of salvation.
But as for me, my prayer is to you, LORD, in an acceptable time. God, in the abundance of your loving kindness, answer me in the truth of your yeshu`ah.
Thus says the LORD, In an acceptable time have I answered you, and in a day of salvation have I helped you; and I will preserve you, and give you for a covenant of the people, to raise up the land, to make them inherit the desolate heritage:
Now when I passed by you, and looked at you, behold, your time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over you, and covered your nakedness: yes, I swore to you, and entered into a covenant with you, says the Lord GOD, and you became mine.
he again defines a certain day, today, saying through David so long a time afterward (just as has been said), *Today if you will hear his voice, don't harden your hearts.*
