Ephesians 14-5

• For he chose us in Christ before the foundation
  of the world that we may be holy and unblemished
  in his sight in love. He did this by
  predestining us to adoption as his sons through
  Jesus Christ, according to the pleasure of his
  will.

Isaiah 101-3

• Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who
  issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of
  their rights and withhold justice from the
  oppressed of my people, making widows their
  prey and robbing the fatherless.

Isaiah 101-3

     when disaster comes from afar? To whom will
  you run for help?    Where will you leave your
  riches?
