of the LORD is risen upon thee. 60:2 For, behold, the

Joseph, and said, Give us bread: for why should we die in
thy presence? for the money faileth. 47:16 And Joseph said,
Give your cattle; and I will give you for your cattle, if money
fail. 47:17 And they brought their cattle unto Joseph: and
Joseph gave them bread in exchange for horses, and for the
flocks, and for the cattle of the herds, and for the asses: and
he fed them with bread for all their cattle for that year.
47:18 When that year was ended, they came unto him the
second year, and said unto him, We will not hide it from my
lord, how that our money is spent; my lord also hath our
herds of cattle; there is not ought left in the sight of my
lord, but our bodies, and our lands: 47:19 Wherefore shall
we die before thine eyes, both we and our land? buy us and
our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants
unto Pharaoh: and give us seed, that we may live, and not
die, that the land be not desolate. 47:27 And Israel dwelt in

shall not be room enough to receive it. 3:11 And I will
rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not
destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine
cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of
hosts. 3:17 And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts,
in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare
them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. 3:18

the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that
serveth him not.
Malachi 4:1 For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as
an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly,
shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them

root nor branch. 4:2 But unto you that fear my name shall
the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings;
and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
