³ For they didn't get the land in possession by their own sword, Neither did their own arm save them; But your right hand, and your arm, and the light of your face, Because you were favorable to them.

¹² I sent the hornet before you, which drove them out from before you, even the two kings of the Amorites; not with your sword, nor with your bow.

⁷ Yahweh didn't set his love on you, nor choose you, because you were more in number than any people; for you were the fewest of all peoples:

⁸ but because Yahweh loves you, and because he would keep the oath which he swore to your fathers, has Yahweh brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

¹⁷ and [lest] you say in your heart, My power and the might of my hand has gotten me this wealth.

¹⁸ But you shall remember Yahweh your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth; that he may establish his covenant which he swore to your fathers, as at this day.

¹⁵ You have redeemed your people with your arm, The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.

¹² who caused his glorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses? who divided the waters before them, to make himself an everlasting name?

⁶ Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, "This is the word of Yahweh to Zerubbabel, saying, 'Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says Yahweh of Hosts.

² "I have loved you," says Yahweh. Yet you say, "How have you loved us?" "Wasn't Esau Jacob's brother?" says Yahweh, "Yet I loved Jacob;

³ but Esau I hated, and made his mountains a desolation, and gave his heritage to the jackals of the wilderness."

¹⁰ Not only so, but Rebecca also conceived by one, by our father Isaac.

¹¹ For being not yet born, neither having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him who calls,

¹² it was said to her, "The elder will serve the younger."

¹³ Even as it is written, "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."

¹⁴ What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? May it never be!

¹⁵ For he said to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion."

⁷ But we have this treasure in clay vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves.

¹¹ Why do you draw back your hand, even your right hand? Take it out of your pocket and consume them!

¹¹ Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him, The saving help of my countenance, and my God.

⁵ Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him for the saving help of his presence.

¹⁶ Terror and dread falls on them. By the greatness of your arm they are as still as a stone; Until your people pass over, Yahweh, Until the people pass over who you have purchased.

⁸ If Yahweh delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it to us; a land which flows with milk and honey.

³⁷ Because he loved your fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought you out with his presence, with his great power, out of Egypt;

³⁸ to drive out nations from before you greater and mightier than you, to bring you in, to give you their land for an inheritance, as at this day.

¹⁵ Only Yahweh had a delight in your fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you above all peoples, as at this day.

²² For Yahweh will not forsake his people for his great name's sake, because it has pleased Yahweh to make you a people to himself.

⁶ Many say, "Who will show us any good?" Yahweh, let the light of your face shine on us.

⁷ Show your marvelous loving kindness, You who save those who take refuge by your right hand from their enemies.

⁶ Now I know that Yahweh saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, With the saving strength of his right hand.

¹⁶ It's burned with fire. It's cut down. They perish at your rebuke.
