Old Testament Era15 quotes

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: For thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: And I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. — Psalm 23:1-6 · 450 BC For I am the Lord, I change not. — Malachi 3:6 · 424 BC Be still, and know that I am God. — Psalm 46:10 · 450 BC I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me. — God · 1405 BC Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the Lord was not in the earthquake: And after the earthquake a fire: but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice. — 1st Kings 19:11-12 · 538 BC God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM". — Exodus 3:14 · 1405 BC All 15 quotes →
