YAU God as Nature

even all the nations shall say, "Why has Yahweh done thus to this land? What does the heat of this great anger mean?"

May Yahweh repay your work, and a full reward be given you from Yahweh, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge."

Give sincere homage to the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, for his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.

The words of Yahweh are flawless words, as silver refined in a clay furnace, purified seven times.

Keep me as the apple of your eye. Hide me under the shadow of your wings,

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, Yahweh, my rock, and my redeemer.

When you rebuke and correct man for iniquity, You consume his wealth like a moth. Surely every man is but a breath." Selah.

For you are the God of my strength. Why have you rejected me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

They are planted in Yahweh's house. They will flourish in our God's courts.

to show that Yahweh is upright. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

Your statutes stand firm. Holiness adorns your house, Yahweh, forevermore.

Oh come, let's sing to Yahweh. Let's shout aloud to the rock of our salvation!

In his hand are the deep places of the earth. The heights of the mountains are also his.

The sea is his, and he made it. His hands formed the dry land.

for he is our God. We are the people of his pasture, and the sheep in his care. Today, oh that you would hear his voice!

Israel, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield.

House of Aaron, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield.

You who fear Yahweh, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield.

If I would count them, they are more in number than the sand. When I wake up, I am still with you.

For my eyes are on you, Yahweh, the Lord. In you, I take refuge. Don't leave my soul destitute.

I cried to you, Yahweh. I said, "You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living."

I remember the days of old. I meditate on all your doings. I contemplate the work of your hands.

Deliver me, Yahweh, from my enemies. I flee to you to hide me.

Blessed be Yahweh, my rock, who teaches my hands to war, and my fingers to battle:

my loving kindness, my fortress, my high tower, my deliverer, my shield, and he in whom I take refuge; who subdues my people under me.

Stretch out your hand from above, rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters, out of the hands of foreigners;

She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her. Happy is everyone who retains her.

In that day the Lord will shave with a razor that is hired in the parts beyond the River, even with the king of Assyria, the head and the hair of the feet; and it shall also consume the beard.

For thus says Yahweh to me, "As the lion and the young lion growling over his prey, if a multitude of shepherds is called together against him, will not be dismayed at their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them, so Yahweh of Armies will come down to fight on Mount Zion and on its heights.

and he has made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand, he has hidden me: and he has made me a polished shaft; in his quiver has he kept me close:

Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken in pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, so that no place was found for them: and the stone that struck the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.

Yahweh will roar from Zion, and thunder from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth will shake; but Yahweh will be a refuge to his people, and a stronghold to the children of Israel.

"So you will know that I am Yahweh, your God, dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain. Then Jerusalem will be holy, and no strangers will pass through her any more.

Seek Yahweh, and you will live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and it devour, and there be no one to quench it in Bethel.

Thus he showed me and behold, the Lord stood beside a wall made by a plumb line, with a plumb line in his hand.

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn't overcome it.

The same came as a witness, that he might testify about the light, that all might believe through him.

He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.

The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.

The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

John testified, saying, "I have seen the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.

I didn't recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water, he said to me, 'On whomever you will see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.'

and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God!"

But he spoke of the temple of his body.

This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil.

Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water."

but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst again; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life."

I sent you to reap that for which you haven't labored. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor."

For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world."

Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will not be hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.

The Jews therefore murmured concerning him, because he said, "I am the bread which came down out of heaven."

I am the bread of life.

This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, that anyone may eat of it and not die.

I am the living bread which came down out of heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. Yes, the bread which I will give for the life of the world is my flesh."

He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.

For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me, and I in him.

This is the bread which came down out of heaven--not as our fathers ate the manna, and died. He who eats this bread will live forever."

Now on the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink!

He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water."

Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life."

While I am in the world, I am the light of the world."

But one who enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out.

Whenever he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.

Jesus therefore said to them again, "Most certainly, I tell you, I am the sheep's door.

I am the door. If anyone enters in by me, he will be saved, and will go in and go out, and will find pasture.

I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and I'm known by my own;

even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep.

I have other sheep, which are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will hear my voice. They will become one flock with one shepherd.

But you don't believe, because you are not of my sheep, as I told you.

Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.

Father, glorify your name!" Then there came a voice out of the sky, saying, "I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again."

Jesus therefore said to them, "Yet a little while the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, that darkness doesn't overtake you. He who walks in the darkness doesn't know where he is going.

While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become children of light." Jesus said these things, and he departed and hid himself from them.

I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness.

"I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer.

Every branch in me that doesn't bear fruit, he takes away. Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.

I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad when they saw the Lord.

When he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit!

So when they had eaten their breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me more than these?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you." He said to him, "Feed my lambs."

He said to him again a second time, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you." He said to him, "Tend my sheep."

He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you have affection for me?" Peter was grieved because he asked him the third time, "Do you have affection for me?" He said to him, "Lord, you know everything. You know that I have affection for you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep.

being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.

His head and his hair were white as white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire.

His feet were like burnished brass, as if it had been refined in a furnace. His voice was like the voice of many waters.

He had seven stars in his right hand. Out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining at its brightest.

When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He laid his right hand on me, saying, "Don't be afraid. I am the first and the last,

and the Living one. I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. I have the keys of Death and of Hades.

the mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands. The seven stars are the angels of the seven assemblies. The seven lampstands are seven assemblies.

"To the angel of the assembly in Ephesus write: "He who holds the seven stars in his right hand, he who walks among the seven golden lampstands says these things:

Repent therefore, or else I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war against them with the sword of my mouth.

"To the angel of the assembly in Thyatira write: "The Son of God, who has his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet are like burnished brass, says these things:

and I will give him the morning star.
