Great scriptures

I do enjoy seeing the 'great quotes' thread pop up, time and time again, mostly because many of those quotes aren't easily found on the web.

But I'd like to start a new kind of thread. Scriptures that really speak to you, any translation.

I'll start.

Jer. 2:19 (MEV)

Your own wickedness will correct you,
    and your backslidings will reprove you.
Know therefore and see
    that it is an evil thing and bitter for you
to have forsaken the Lord your God,
    and the fear of Me is not in you,
    says the Lord God of Hosts.

You do not want one to post an entire chapter but will say what is my favorite and that is Isaiah 40. I just love this chapter, it is so wonderously beautiful.

I have asked preachers to preach on it, and if they do, they cannot do justice to it. I have asked a musician to set it to music, but he refrains. It appears nobody can express the beauty, the joy I see, feel when studying it.
