Each will be like a hiding place from the wind, a shelter from the storm.

Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things.—“The man who stands next to me,” declares the Lord of hosts.—“I and the Father are one.”

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.—There will be a booth for shade by day from the heat, and for a refuge and a shelter from the storm and rain.—The Lord is your shade on your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night.

From the end of the earth I call to you when my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.—You are a hiding place for me; you preserve me from trouble.—You have been a stronghold to the poor, a stronghold to the needy in his distress, a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat; for the breath of the ruthless is like a storm against a wall.

But according to his promise we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.
