Revelation 20:1-3

The Thousand-year Reign. 

Then I saw an angel come down from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the abyss* and a heavy chain. He seized the dragon, the ancient serpent, which is the Devil or Satan, and tied it up for a thousand years and threw it into the abyss, which he locked over it and sealed, so that it could no longer lead the nations astray until the thousand years are completed. After this, it is to be released for a short time.

Proverbs 9:1-6

Wisdom has built her house,
she has set up her seven columns; 
She has prepared her meat, mixed her wine, 
yes, she has spread her table. 
She has sent out her maidservants; she calls 
from the heights out over the city: 
“Let whoever is naive turn in here; 
to any who lack sense I say, 
Come, eat of my food, 
and drink of the wine I have mixed! 
Forsake foolishness that you may live; 
advance in the way of understanding."

NABRE version Deuteronomy 32:9-12

But the Lord’s portion was his people; 
his allotted share was Jacob. 
He found them in a wilderness, 
a wasteland of howling desert. 
He shielded them, cared for them, 
guarded them as the apple of his eye. 
As an eagle incites its nestlings, 
hovering over its young, 
So he spread his wings, took them, 
bore them upon his pinions. 
The Lord alone guided them, 
no foreign god was with them.
