O LORD ( JEHOVAH ) , our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens. Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast THOU ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger . “ And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, HOSANNA to the son of David ; they were sore displeased, And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings THOU ( JEHOVAH ) hast perfected praise ?

Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am GOD , and there is none else . I have sworn by MYSELF , the word is gone out of MY mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto ME every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear . For to this end CHRIST both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be LORD both of the dead and living. But why dost thoujudge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST . For it is written, As I live, saith the LORD , every knee shall bow to ME , and every tongue shall confess to GOD . So then every one of us shall give account of himself to GOD ( CHRIST ).

They shall perish, but THOU shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed.
