Then the family of Israel will make foreigners their servants as they settle in the Lord's land.

They will make their captors captives and rule over the ones who oppress them.

Jesus brought before Pilate.

Early in the morning after forming a plan, the chief priests with the elders and the experts in the law and the whole Sanhedrin tied Jesus up, led him away, and handed him over to Pilate.

I will purify your metal with flux.

I will remove all your slag.

I will establish honest judges as in former times, wise advisors as in earlier days.

Then you will be called the just city, faithful town.

Zion will be freed by justice and her returnees by righteousness.

When this announcement is understood, it will cause nothing but terror, for the bed is too short to stretch out on, and the blanket is too narrow to wrap around oneself.

For the Lord will rise up, as he did at Mount Perazim.

He will rouse himself, as he did in the Valley of Gibeon, to accomplish his work, his peculiar work, to perform his task, his strange task.

Thank you, O God, that a crown of life awaits those of us who keep faith until the end.

That is Onesimus.

You are the God of the resurrection and the transformation.
