Jeremiah 6:16
New International Version
16 This is what the Lord says:
Hebrews 11:14-21
New International Version
14 People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own. 15 If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return.(A) 16 Instead, they were longing for a better country—a heavenly one.(B) Therefore God is not ashamed(C) to be called their God,(D) for he has prepared a city(E) for them.
17 By faith Abraham, when God tested him, offered Isaac as a sacrifice.(F) He who had embraced the promises was about to sacrifice his one and only son, 18 even though God had said to him, “It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.”[a](G) 19 Abraham reasoned that God could even raise the dead,(H) and so in a manner of speaking he did receive Isaac back from death.
20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau in regard to their future.(I)
21 By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of Joseph’s sons,(J) and worshiped as he leaned on the top of his staff.
