English Standard Version

Before they call I will answer; while they are yet speaking I will hear.

Isaiah 65:24

Everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.

Matthew 7:8

Isaiah 65 (English Standard Version)

21 They shall build houses and inhabit them;
they shall plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
22 They shall not build and another inhabit;
they shall not plant and another eat;
for like the days of a tree shall the days of my people be,
and my chosen shall long enjoy the work of their hands.
23 They shall not labor in vain
or bear children for calamity,
for they shall be the offspring of the blessed of the Lord,
and their descendants with them.
24 Before they call I will answer;
while they are yet speaking I will hear.
25 The wolf and the lamb shall graze together;
the lion shall eat straw like the ox,
and dust shall be the serpent's food.
They shall not hurt or destroy
in all my holy mountain,”
says the Lord.

Matthew 7 (English Standard Version)

5 You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.
6 “Do not give dogs what is holy, and do not throw your pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you.
7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.
9 Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone?
10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent?
11 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!

I will reply even before they ask me. While they are still speaking, I will answer them!

Isaiah 65:24

Everyone who asks, receives; everyone who seeks, finds; and everyone who knocks has the door opened for them.

Matthew 7:8

Isaiah 65 (Free Bible Version)

21 They will build houses and live in them; they will eat the fruit of the vineyards they themselves planted.
22 No longer will they build houses for others to live in; no longer will they plant for others to eat. For my people will live as long as trees do; my chosen ones will live long enough to enjoy all they've worked for.
23 They won't work for nothing, and they won't have children destined for disaster. For they are people living under the blessing of the Lord, and their children will be too.
24 I will reply even before they ask me. While they are still speaking, I will answer them!
25 The wolf and the lamb will eat together. The lion will eat straw like the ox. The snakes will eat dust. Nothing will cause any harm or damage anywhere on my holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord in the same way that water fills the sea.

Matthew 7 (Free Bible Version)

5 You're being hypocritical! First get rid of the plank that's in your own eye. Then you'll be able to see clearly to take out the speck from your brother's eye.
6 Don't give dogs what's holy. Don't throw your pearls to pigs. That way the pigs won't trample them underfoot, and the dogs won't turn and attack you.
7 Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you.
8 Everyone who asks, receives; everyone who seeks, finds; and everyone who knocks has the door opened for them.
9 Would any of you give your son a stone if he asked for bread?
10 Or if he asked for fish, would you give him a snake?
11 So if even you who are evil know to give good things to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good things to those who ask him.
