Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who has promised is faithful.

endures
Hear this, all you peoples; give ear, all inhabitants of the world, both low and high, rich and poor together. My mouth shall speak wisdom; the meditation of my heart shall be understanding.
