Hosea 2:16-18, 21-22
(16) And it will be in that day,” says the Lord, “that she will call me, ‘My Husband,’ and she will no longer call me, ‘My Baal.’ (17) And I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth, and she will no longer remember their name. (18) And in that day, I will strike a deal with them, with the beasts of the field, and with the birds of the sky, and with the creatures of the earth. And I will crush the bow and the sword, and I will wipe away war from the earth. And I will let them sleep securely. (21) And this will happen in that day: I will listen closely,” says the Lord. “I will hear the heavens, and they will hear the earth. (22) And the land will pay attention to the grain, and the wine, and the oil; and these will hear Jezreel.
Psalm 145:2-9
(2) Throughout every single day, I will bless you. And I will praise your name, in this time and forever and ever. (3) The Lord is great and exceedingly praiseworthy. And there is no end to his greatness. (4) Generation after generation will praise your works, and they will declare your power. (5) They will tell of the magnificent glory of your sanctity. And they will discourse of your wonders. (6) And they will talk about the virtue of your terrible acts. And they will describe your greatness. (7) They will shout about the memory of your abundant sweetness. And they will exult in your justice. (8) The Lord is compassionate and merciful, patient and full of mercy. (9) The Lord is sweet to all things, and his compassion is upon all his works.
Matthew 9:18-26
(18) As he was speaking these things to them, behold, a certain ruler approached and adored him, saying: “Lord, my daughter has recently passed away. But come and impose your hand upon her, and she will live.” (19) And Jesus, rising up, followed him, with his disciples. (20) And behold, a woman, who had suffered from a flow of blood for twelve years, approached from behind and touched the hem of his garment. (21) For she said within herself, “If I will touch even his garment, I shall be saved.” (22) But Jesus, turning and seeing her, said: “Be strengthened in faith, daughter; your faith has made you well.” And the woman was made well from that hour. (23) And when Jesus had arrived in the house of the ruler, and he had seen the musicians and the tumultuous crowd, (24) he said, “Depart. For the girl is not dead, but asleep.” And they derided him. (25) And when the crowd had been sent away, he entered. And he took her by the hand. And the girl rose up. (26) And the news of this went out to that entire land.
