If there is dew only on the fleece and all the ground is dry, then I will know that You are going to save Israel by my hand, as You have said.”Judges 6:38And that is what happened. When Gideon arose the next morning, he squeezed the fleece and wrung out the dew—a bowlful of water.Judges 6:39Then Gideon said to God, “Do not be angry with me; let me speak one more time. Please allow me one more test with the fleece. This time let it be dry, and the ground covered with dew.”Judges 6:40And that night God did so. Only the fleece was dry, and dew covered the ground.Psalm 8:4what is man that You are mindful of him, or the son of man that You care for him?Psalm 8:5You made him a little lower than the angels; You crowned him with glory and honor.Psalm 8:6You made him ruler of the works of Your hands; You have placed everything under his feet:Psalm 113:5Who is like the LORD our God, the One enthroned on high?Psalm 113:6He humbles Himself to behold the heavens and the earth.Psalm 144:3O LORD, what is man, that You regard him, the son of man that You think of him?Isaiah 1:18“Come now, let us reason together,” says the LORD. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they will be as white as snow; though they are as red as crimson, they will become like wool.Isaiah 1:19If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the best of the land.Isaiah 1:20But if you resist and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword.” For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.Isaiah 41:21“Present your case,” says the LORD. “Submit your arguments,” says the King of Jacob.Isaiah 41:22“Let them come and tell us what will happen.
