² These are the words of the Lord, who is doing it, the Lord who is forming it, to make it certain; the Lord is his name;

³ The Lord is a man of war: the Lord is his name.

³ I let myself be seen by Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as God, the Ruler of all; but they had no knowledge of my name Yahweh.

²⁶ Has it not come to your ears how I did it long before, purposing it in times long past? Now I have given effect to my design, so that by you strong towns might be turned into masses of broken walls.

¹⁰ And he took me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and let me see the holy town Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,

² And I saw the holy town, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, like a bride made beautiful for her husband.

¹⁶ But now their desire is for a better country, that is to say, for one in heaven; and so it is no shame to God to be named their God; for he has made ready a town for them.

¹⁰ For he was looking for the strong town, whose builder and maker is God.

⁶ It is he who makes his rooms in the heaven, basing his arch on the earth; whose voice goes out to the waters of the sea, and sends them flowing over the face of the earth; the Lord is his name.

⁸ Go for help to him who makes Orion and the Pleiades, by whom the deep dark is turned into morning, who makes the day black with night; whose voice goes out to the waters of the sea, sending them out over the face of the earth: the Lord is his name;

¹⁸ You have mercy on thousands, and send punishment for the evil-doing of the fathers on their children after them: the great, the strong God, the Lord of armies is his name:

¹⁶ The heritage of Jacob is not like these; for the maker of all things is his heritage: the Lord of armies is his name.

⁷ And give him no rest, till he puts Jerusalem in her place to be praised in the earth.

²¹ Even the people whom I made to be the witnesses of my praise.

¹ But now, says the Lord your Maker, O Jacob, and your life-giver, O Israel: have no fear, for I have taken up your cause; naming you by your name, I have made you mine.

³² What answer, then, will my people give to the representatives of the nation? That the Lord is the builder of Zion, and she will be a safe place for the poor of his people.

¹⁶ When the Lord has put up the walls of Zion, and has been been in his glory;

⁵ And of Zion it will be said, This or that man had his birth there; and the Most High will make her strong.

¹⁴ And God said to him, I AM WHAT I AM: and he said, Say to the children of Israel, I AM has sent me to you.

¹⁵ And God went on to say to Moses, Say to the children of Israel, The Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has sent me to you: this is my name for ever, and this is my sign to all generations.
