That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children:

All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.

This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD.

One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.

And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will declare thy greatness.

For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring:

One shall say, I am the LORD'S; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall subscribe with his hand unto the LORD, and surname himself by the name of Israel.

Then shalt thou say in thine heart, Who hath begotten me these, seeing I have lost my children, and am desolate, a captive, and removing to and fro? and who hath brought up these? Behold, I was left alone; these, where had they been?

And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers: they shall bow down to thee with their face toward the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD: for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me.

Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD.

Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side.

Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child.

Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God.

For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
