“Though the mountains depart, and the hills be removed, yet my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that have mercy on thee. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord, they Redeemer.” Is. 54:10, 17)

And worship at they feet.”
