Stillness and meditationGod's holinessFear

11 “On that day many nations will join themselves to the LORD, and they will become My people. I will dwell among you, and you will know that the LORD of Hosts has sent Me to you.

12 And the LORD will take possession of Judah as His portion in the Holy Land, and He will once again choose Jerusalem.

Be silent before the LORD, all people, for He has roused Himself from His holy dwelling.”
