Counts

His anger burns against me, and He counts me among His enemies.

Yet God finds occasions against me; He counts me as His enemy.

And now the LORD says, “In three years, as a hired worker counts the years, Moab’s splendor will become an object of contempt, with all her many people. And those who are left will be few and feeble.”

Your mind will ponder the former terror: “Where is he who tallies? Where is he who weighs? Where is he who counts the towers?”

In the cities of the hill country, the foothills, and the Negev, in the land of Benjamin and the cities surrounding Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, the flocks will again pass under the hands of the one who counts them, says the LORD.

Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing. Keeping God’s commandments is what counts.

For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything. What counts is a new creation.
