⌞The Lord said,⌟ “When I found Israel, it was like finding grapes in the desert. When I saw your ancestors, it was like seeing the first figs of the harvest. But they went to Baal Peor and worshiped shameful idols. They became as disgusting as the things they worshiped. Hosea 9:10 GW

I look up to you, to the one who sits enthroned in heaven. As servants depend on their masters, as a maid depends on her mistress, so we depend on the Lord our God until he has pity on us. Psalms 123:1-2 GW
After two days he will revive us. On the third day he will raise us so that we may live in his presence.
