Isaiah/Yesha’yahu 40:31 but those who hope in ADONAI will renew their strength, they will soar aloft as with eagles’ wings; when they are running they won’t grow weary, when they are walking they won’t get tired.
Jeremiah 16:19 ADONAI, my strength, my fortress, my refuge in time of trouble, the nations will come to you from the ends of the earth, saying, “Our ancestors inherited nothing but lies, futile idols, completely useless.”
20 Can a person make himself gods? (In fact they aren’t gods at all.)
21 “Therefore, I will make them know, once and for all, I will make them know my power and my might. Then they will know that my name is ADONAI.

Psalm 118:6 Hashem is on my side; I will not fear; what can adam do unto me?
Psalm 119:114 Thou art my seter (hiding place) and my mogen: I hope in Thy Devar.
Taken from the Orthodox Jewish Bible. These verses were originally given to Leslie to comfort her. Glad to share them on the blog.
Mattityahu/Matthew 22:41 Then, turning to the assembled P’rushim, Yeshua put a sh’eilah to them: 42 “Tell me your view concerning the Messiah: whose son is he?” They said to him, “David’s.” 43 “Then how is it,” he asked them, “that David, inspired by the Spirit, calls him `Lord,’ when he says,
44 `ADONAI said to my Lord, “Sit here at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet”‘?
45 If David thus calls him `Lord,’ how is he his son?” 46 No one could think of anything to say in reply; and from that day on, no one dared put to him another sh’eilah.
Tehillim/Psalm 110:1 A psalm of David:
ADONAI says to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool.”
113 I hate doubleminded people, but I love your Torah.
114 You are my hiding-place and shield; I put my hope in your word.
115 Leave me alone, you evildoers, so that I can keep my God’s mitzvot.
116 Uphold me, as you promised; and I will live; don’t disappoint me in my hope.
117 Support me; and I will be saved, always putting my attention on your laws.
118 You reject all who stray from your laws, for what they deceive themselves with is false.
119 You discard the wicked of the earth like slag; this is why I love your instruction.
120 My body trembles for fear of you; your rulings make me afraid.
Yirmeyahu/Jeremiah 15:19 This is ADONAI’s answer:
"If you return - if I bring you back -
you will stand before me.
If you separate the precious from the base,
you will be my spokesman.
It will then be they who turn to you,
not you who turn to them.
20 Toward this people I will make you
a fortified wall of bronze -
they will fight against you
but not prevail against you;
for I am with you to save you
and rescue you," says ADONAI.
21 "I will free you from the grasp of the wicked
and redeem you from the clutches of the ruthless." (CJB)
Tehillim/Psalm1:1 How blessed are those who reject the advice of the wicked, don’t stand on the way of sinners or sit where scoffers sit! 2 Their delight is in ADONAI’s Torah; on his Torah they meditate day and night.
3 They are like trees planted by streams -they bear their fruit in season, their leaves never wither, everything they do succeeds. 4 Not so the wicked, who are like chaff driven by the wind.5 For this reason the wicked won’t stand up to the judgment, nor will sinners at the gathering of the righteous.
6 For ADONAI watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked is doomed.
Sh’mot/Exodus 16:4 ADONAI said to Moshe, "Here, I will cause bread to rain down from heaven for you. The people are to go out and gather a day’s ration every day.
13 That evening, quails came up and covered the camp; while in the morning there was a layer of dew all around the camp. 14 When the dew had evaporated, there on the surface of the desert was a fine flaky substance, as fine as frost on the ground. 15 When the people of Isra’el saw it, they asked each other, "Man hu? [What is it?]"because they didn’t know what it was. Moshe answered them, "It is the bread which ADONAI has given you to eat.
Yochanan/John 6:25 When they found him on the other side of the lake, they asked him, "Rabbi, when did you get here?" 26 Yeshua answered, "Yes, indeed! I tell you, you’re not looking for me because you saw miraculous signs, but because you ate the bread and had all you wanted! 27 Don’t work for the food which passes away but for the food that stays on into eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For this is the one on whom God the Father has put his seal."
28 So they said to him, "What should we do in order to perform the works of God?" 29 Yeshua answered, "Here’s what the work of God is: to trust in the one he sent!"
30 They said to him, "Nu, what miracle will you do for us, so that we may see it and trust you? What work can you perform? 31 Our fathers ate man in the desert — as it says in the Tanakh, `He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’ 32 Yeshua said to them, "Yes, indeed! I tell you it wasn’t Moshe who gave you the bread from heaven. But my Father is giving you the genuine bread from heaven; 33 for God’s bread is the one who comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world."
34 They said to him, "Sir, give us this bread from now on." 35 Yeshua answered, "I am the bread which is life! Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever trusts in me will never be thirsty.
Sh’mu’el Bet (2 Samuel) 22:1-4
1 David said the words of this song to ADONAI on the day ADONAI delivered him from the power of all his enemies and from the power of Sha’ul. 2 He said:
"ADONAI is my Rock, my fortress and deliverer, 3 the God who is my Rock, in whom I find shelter, my shield, the power that saves me, my stronghold and my refuge. My savior, you have saved me from violence. 4 I call on ADONAI, who is worthy of praise; and I am saved from my enemies.
Hebrews 12:5-13 (CJB)
5 Also you have forgotten the counsel which speaks with you as sons:
"My son, don’t despise the discipline of ADONAI or become despondent when he corrects you. 6 For ADONAI disciplines those he loves and whips everyone he accepts as a son."
7 Regard your endurance as discipline; God is dealing with you as sons. For what son goes undisciplined by his father? 8 All legitimate sons undergo discipline; so if you don’t, you’re a mamzer and not a son!
9 Furthermore, we had physical fathers who disciplined us, and we respected them; how much more should we submit to our spiritual Father and live! 10 For they disciplined us only for a short time and only as best they could; but he disciplines us in a way that provides genuine benefit to us and enables us to share in his holiness.
11 Now, all discipline, while it is happening, does indeed seem painful, not enjoyable; but for those who have been trained by it, it later produces its peaceful fruit, which is righteousness. 12 So,
strengthen your drooping arms, and steady your tottering knees;
13 and
make a level path for your feet;
so that what has been injured will not get wrenched out of joint but rather will be healed.
