This is what I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt. And my Spirit remains among you. All that belongs to the Father is mine. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will.
All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field.
The grass withers and the flowers fall, because the breath of the LORD blows on them. Surely the people are grass. If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return.
