Isaiah 55:1-3
1Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat;
yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
2Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not?
hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
3Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live;
and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

2 Corinthians 3:12-18
12Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:
13And not as Moses, which put a veil over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:
14But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.
15But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.
16Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.
17Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
18But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

Today if ye will hear his voice, 8Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
9When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.
10Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:
11Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.

Psalm 96
1O sing unto the Lord
a new song: sing unto the Lord
, all the earth.
2Sing unto the Lord
, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day.
3Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.
4For the Lord
is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods.
5For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the Lord
made the heavens.
6Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
7Give unto the Lord
, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto the Lord
glory and strength.
8Give unto the Lord
the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts.
9O worship the Lord
in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.
10Say among the heathen that the Lord
reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously.
11Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.
12Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice
13Before the Lord
: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.

Psalm 98
1O sing unto the Lord
a new song; for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory.
2The Lord
hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the heathen.
3He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
4Make a joyful noise unto the Lord
, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.
5Sing unto the Lord
with the harp; with the harp, and the voice of a psalm.
6With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before the Lord
, the King.
7Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
8Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful together
9Before the Lord
; for he cometh to judge the earth: with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.

Psalm 99:1-5
1The Lord
reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth between the cherubims; let the earth be moved.
2The Lord
is great in Zion; and he is high above all the people.
3Let them praise thy great and terrible name; for it is holy.
4The king’s strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.
5Exalt ye the Lord
our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy.

Zechariah 2:10-13
10Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the Lord
.
11And many nations shall be joined to the Lord
in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the Lord
of hosts hath sent me unto thee.
12And the Lord
shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.
13Be silent, O all flesh, before the Lord
: for he is raised up out of his holy habitation.
