Jeremiah 15:10,16-21
(10) Woe is me, my mother, that you have borne me, a man of strife, and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have not lent, neither have men lent to me; yet every one of them curses me. (16) Your words were found, and I ate them. Your words were to me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart, for I am called by your name, Yahweh, God of Armies. (17) I didn’t sit in the assembly of those who make merry and rejoice. I sat alone because of your hand, for you have filled me with indignation. (18) Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuses to be healed? Will you indeed be to me as a deceitful brook, like waters that fail? (19) Therefore Yahweh says, “If you return, then I will bring you again, that you may stand before me; and if you take out the precious from the vile, you will be as my mouth. They will return to you, but you will not return to them. (20) I will make you to this people a fortified bronze wall. They will fight against you, but they will not prevail against you; for I am with you to save you and to deliver you,” says Yahweh. (21) “I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem you out of the hand of the terrible.”
Psalms 59:1-3,9-10,16-17
(1) Deliver me from my enemies, my God. Set me on high from those who rise up against me. (2) Deliver me from the workers of iniquity. Save me from the bloodthirsty men. (3) For, behold, they lie in wait for my soul. The mighty gather themselves together against me, not for my disobedience, nor for my sin, Yahweh. (9) Oh, my Strength, I watch for you, for God is my high tower. (10) My God will go before me with his loving kindness. God will let me look at my enemies in triumph. (16) But I will sing of your strength. Yes, I will sing aloud of your loving kindness in the morning. For you have been my high tower, a refuge in the day of my distress. (17) To you, my strength, I will sing praises. For God is my high tower, the God of my mercy.
Matthew 13:44-46
(44) “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like treasure hidden in the field, which a man found, and hid. In his joy, he goes and sells all that he has, and buys that field. (45) “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a merchant seeking fine pearls, (46) who having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
