Jeremiah 14:8; Jeremiah 17:13; Jeremiah 50:7; 1 Timothy 1:1

kO you hope of Israel,

its savior in time of trouble,

why should you be like a stranger in the land,

like a traveler who turns aside to tarry for a night?


13  O Lord, pthe hope of Israel,

qall who forsake you shall be put to shame;

those who turn away from you1 rshall be written in the earth,

for sthey have forsaken tthe Lord, the fountain of living water.


All who found them have devoured them, rand their enemies have said, We are not guilty, for sthey have sinned against the Lord, ttheir habitation of righteousness, the Lord, uthe hope of their fathers.


Greeting

Paul, aan apostle of Christ Jesus bby command of cGod our Savior and of Christ Jesus dour hope,
