And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son.
The ruthless will vanish, the mockers will disappear, and all who have an eye for evil will be cut down.
For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.
The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him.
