Tested by harsh, uncertain times,
Fruitful in dry forbidding clime.
The remnant, by mercy and design,
His call, to multiply, to thrive.
~ D.F.

“The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they shall feed and lie down and none shall make them afraid.”
