From us to you:

" WISHING YOU A
HAPPY & BLESSED CHINESE NEW YEAR! "

I will look on you with favor and make you fruitful and

increase your numbers, and I will keep my covenant with you.

You will still be eating last year's harvest

when you will have to move it out to make room for the new.

I will put my dwelling place among you, and I will not abhor you.
