Thumbnail Feedback Which of These Work for You?

[LibertyLinks]

Hi guys,
These are two different versions of my latest project thumbnail. The black one is very similar to some of the others I've done so I experimented with something different. Which of these two work best for you? I tried make the text of the thumbnail lead the person to click on it. "What verse is this?" I just want feedback on whether the purple is a little harsh or not. I might be getting better at coming up with text that kind of sparks a person's curiosity, that's kind of the goal in my mind. Also any rephrasing of the text you might can come up with would be helpful.

I like the black one better. It you want to get more attention then use bright colors like yellow which works out for me pretty well(yellow background black text or vice versa)

In my opinion, I would like the photo to not be Faded. I think you should increase the opacity of the photo. I like the purple one. Also, I would suggest the arrangement of your title in this form. Big fonts grab more attention. I hope this helps!
