Joel 4:12-21
12 ‘Let the nations rouse themselves and march to the Valley of Jehoshaphat, for there I shall sit in judgement on all the nations around. 13 Ply the sickle, for the harvest is ripe; come and tread, for the winepress is full; the vats are overflowing, so great is their wickedness!’ 14 Multitude on multitude in the Valley of Decision! For the Day of Yahweh is near in the Valley of the Verdict! 15 Sun and moon grow dark, the stars lose their brilliance. 16 Yahweh roars from Zion, he thunders from Jerusalem; heaven and earth tremble. But Yahweh will be a shelter for his people, a stronghold for the Israelites. 17 ‘Then you will know that I am Yahweh your God residing on Zion, my holy mountain. Jerusalem willthen be a sanctuary, no foreigners will overrun it ever again.’ 18 When that Day comes, the mountains will run with new wine and the hills will flow with milk, and all the stream-beds of Judah will run with water. A fountain will spring from Yahweh’s Temple and water the Gorge of the Acacias. 19 Egypt will become a desolation, and Edom a desert waste on account of the violence done to thechildren of Judah whose innocent blood they shed in their country. 20 But Judah will be inhabited for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation! 21 ‘I shall avenge their blood and let none go unpunished,’ and Yahweh will dwell in Zion.

Psalms 97:1-2, 5-6, 11-12
1 The LORD reigns; let the earth rejoice; let the many coastlands be glad! 2 Clouds and thick darkness are round about him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne. 5 The mountains melt like wax before the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth. 6 The heavens proclaim his righteousness; and all the peoples behold his glory. 11 Light dawns for the righteous, and joy for the upright in heart. 12 Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous, and give thanks to his holy name!

Luke 11:27-28
27 As he said this, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts that you sucked!” 28 But he said, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!”
