Acts 23:6
English Standard Version
6 Now when Paul perceived that one part were (A)Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, “Brothers, (B)I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. It is (C)with respect to the (D)hope and the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial.”

Lamentations 3:16-33
English Standard Version
16 (A)He has made my teeth grind on gravel,
and (B)made me cower in ashes;
17 my soul is bereft of peace;
I have forgotten what happiness[a] is;
18 (C)so I say, “My endurance has perished;
so has my hope from the Lord.”
19 (D)Remember my affliction and my wanderings,
(E)the wormwood and (F)the gall!
20 My soul continually remembers it
(G)and is bowed down within me.
21 But this I call to mind,
and (H)therefore I have hope:
22 (I)The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;[b]
(J)his mercies never come to an end;
23 they are new (K)every morning;
(L)great is your faithfulness.
24 (M)“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,
(N)“therefore I will hope in him.”
25 The Lord is good to those who (O)wait for him,
to the soul who seeks him.
26 (P)It is good that one should wait quietly
for the salvation of the Lord.
27 (Q)It is good for a man that he bear
the yoke (R)in his youth.
28 Let him (S)sit alone in silence
when it is laid on him;
29 (T)let him put his mouth in the dust—
there may yet be hope;
30 (U)let him give his cheek to the one who strikes,
and let him be filled with insults.
31 (V)For the Lord will not
cast off forever,
32 but, though he (W)cause grief, (X)he will have compassion
(Y)according to the abundance of his steadfast love;
33 (Z)for he does not afflict from his heart
or (AA)grieve the children of men.

Isaiah 58:10-11
English Standard Version
10 (A)if you pour yourself out for the hungry
and satisfy the desire of the afflicted,
(B)then shall your light rise in the darkness
and your gloom be as the noonday.
11 And the Lord will guide you continually
and satisfy your desire in scorched places
and make your bones strong;
and you shall be (C)like a watered garden,
like a spring of water,
whose waters do not fail.
