"I am the One who strengthens you. Why should you fear mortals, who are no more enduring than grass? Have you forgotten the Lord who made you, who stretched out the heavens and laid the eart's foundations? Why should you live in constant fear of the fury of those who oppress you, of those who are ready to destroy you? Their fury can no longer touch you. Those who are prisoners will soon be set free; they will live a long life and have all the food they need. I am the Lord your God; I stir up the sea and make its waves roar. My name is the Lord Almighty! I stretched out the heaves and laid the earth's foundations. I say to Jerusalem, 'Your are my child!' I have given you my teaching, and I protect you with My hand." - Isa. 51:12-16
