    Isaiah 66:10-24 Genesis 49:33-50:26 Proverbs 31:8-31

    God bless!

    Isaiah 66
    
      10 Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her:
    rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her:
      11 That ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations;
    that ye may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.
      12 For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river,
    and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall ye suck, ye
    shall be borne upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees.
      13 As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be
    comforted in Jerusalem.
      14 And when ye see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall
    flourish like an herb: and the hand of the LORD shall be known toward his
    servants, and his indignation toward his enemies.
      15 For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his chariots like a
    whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
      16 For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the
    slain of the LORD shall be many.
      17 They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind
    one tree in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the
    mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the LORD.
      18 For I know their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that I will
    gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory.
      19 And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of
    them unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal,
    and Javan, to the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have
    seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles.
      20 And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering unto the LORD out
    of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules,
    and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the LORD, as the
    children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the
    LORD.
      21 And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites, saith the LORD.
      22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain
    before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.
      23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one
    sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.
      24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have
    transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire
    be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.
    
    Genesis 49
    
      33 And when Jacob had made an end of commanding his sons, he gathered up his
    feet into the bed, and yielded up the ghost, and was gathered unto his people.
    
    Genesis 50
    
      1 And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon him, and kissed him.
      2 And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and
    the physicians embalmed Israel.
      3 And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of
    those which are embalmed: and the Egyptians mourned for him threescore and ten
    days.
      4 And when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spake unto the house of
    Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found grace in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in
    the ears of Pharaoh, saying,
      5 My father made me swear, saying, Lo, I die: in my grave which I have digged
    for me in the land of Canaan, there shalt thou bury me. Now therefore let me go
    up, I pray thee, and bury my father, and I will come again.
      6 And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according as he made thee
    swear.
      7 And Joseph went up to bury his father: and with him went up all the
    servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of
    Egypt,
      8 And all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and his father's house: only
    their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of
    Goshen.
      9 And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very
    great company.
      10 And they came to the threshingfloor of Atad, which is beyond Jordan, and
    there they mourned with a great and very sore lamentation: and he made a
    mourning for his father seven days.
      11 And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in
    the floor of Atad, they said, This is a grievous mourning to the Egyptians:
    wherefore the name of it was called Abelmizraim, which is beyond Jordan.
      12 And his sons did unto him according as he commanded them:
      13 For his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, and buried him in the
    cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field for a
    possession of a buryingplace of Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre.
      14 And Joseph returned into Egypt, he, and his brethren, and all that went up
    with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.
      15 And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead, they said,
    Joseph will peradventure hate us, and will certainly requite us all the evil
    which we did unto him.
      16 And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did command
    before he died, saying,
      17 So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy
    brethren, and their sin; for they did unto thee evil: and now, we pray thee,
    forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept
    when they spake unto him.
      18 And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said,
    Behold, we be thy servants.
      19 And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God?
      20 But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to
    bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.
      21 Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And
    he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them.
      22 And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house: and Joseph lived an
    hundred and ten years.
      23 And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation: the children
    also of Machir the son of Manasseh were brought up upon Joseph's knees.
      24 And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die: and God will surely visit you,
    and bring you out of this land unto the land which he sware to Abraham, to
    Isaac, and to Jacob.
      25 And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely
    visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence.
      26 So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him,
    and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
    
    Proverbs 31
    
      8 Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to
    destruction.
      9 Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and
    needy.
      10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
      11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have
    no need of spoil.
      12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
      13 She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
      14 She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
      15 She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household,
    and a portion to her maidens.
      16 She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she
    planteth a vineyard.
      17 She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
      18 She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by
    night.
      19 She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
      20 She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands
    to the needy.
      21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are
    clothed with scarlet.
      22 She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and
    purple.
      23 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the
    land.
      24 She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the
    merchant.
      25 Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to
    come.
      26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of
    kindness.
      27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of
    idleness.
      28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he
    praiseth her.
      29 Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
      30 Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the
    LORD, she shall be praised.
      31 Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in
    the gates.

    1 Peter 5:6-14 Luke 10:16-21

    God bless!

    1 Peter 5
    
      6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt
    you in due time:
      7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
      8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion,
    walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
      9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are
    accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
      10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by
    Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish,
    strengthen, settle you.
      11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
      12 By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have written
    briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein
    ye stand.
      13 The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you;
    and so doth Marcus my son.
      14 Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all that
    are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
    
    Luke 10
    
      16 He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me;
    and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.
      17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are
    subject unto us through thy name.
      18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
      19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over
    all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
      20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto
    you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
      21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father,
    Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and
    prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed
    good in thy sight.

    Isaiah 58:1-11 Genesis 43:26-31, 45:1-16 Proverbs 21:23-22:4

    God bless!

    Isaiah 58
    
      1 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people
    their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.
      2 Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did
    righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the
    ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God.
      3 Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not? wherefore have we
    afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your
    fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your labours.
      4 Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of
    wickedness: ye shall not fast as ye do this day, to make your voice to be heard
    on high.
      5 Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul?
    is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes
    under him? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD?
      6 Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness,
    to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break
    every yoke?
      7 Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor
    that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him;
    and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?
      8 Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall
    spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of
    the LORD shall be thy rereward.
      9 Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he
    shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the
    putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;
      10 And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted
    soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noon
    day:
      11 And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in
    drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and
    like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
    
    Genesis 43
    
      26 And when Joseph came home, they brought him the present which was in their
    hand into the house, and bowed themselves to him to the earth.
      27 And he asked them of their welfare, and said, Is your father well, the old
    man of whom ye spake? Is he yet alive?
      28 And they answered, Thy servant our father is in good health, he is yet
    alive. And they bowed down their heads, and made obeisance.
      29 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son,
    and said, Is this your younger brother, of whom ye spake unto me? And he said,
    God be gracious unto thee, my son.
      30 And Joseph made haste; for his bowels did yearn upon his brother: and he
    sought where to weep; and he entered into his chamber, and wept there.
      31 And he washed his face, and went out, and refrained himself, and said, Set
    on bread.
    
    Genesis 45
    
      1 Then Joseph could not refrain himself before all them that stood by him;
    and he cried, Cause every man to go out from me. And there stood no man with
    him, while Joseph made himself known unto his brethren.
      2 And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard.
      3 And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph; doth my father yet live?
    And his brethren could not answer him; for they were troubled at his presence.
      4 And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they
    came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.
      5 Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me
    hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life.
      6 For these two years hath the famine been in the land: and yet there are
    five years, in the which there shall neither be earing nor harvest.
      7 And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to
    save your lives by a great deliverance.
      8 So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a
    father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the
    land of Egypt.
      9 Haste ye, and go up to my father, and say unto him, Thus saith thy son
    Joseph, God hath made me lord of all Egypt: come down unto me, tarry not:
      10 And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near unto
    me, thou, and thy children, and thy children's children, and thy flocks, and
    thy herds, and all that thou hast:
      11 And there will I nourish thee; for yet there are five years of famine;
    lest thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast, come to poverty.
      12 And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it
    is my mouth that speaketh unto you.
      13 And ye shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that ye
    have seen; and ye shall haste and bring down my father hither.
      14 And he fell upon his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept
    upon his neck.
      15 Moreover he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them: and after that
    his brethren talked with him.
      16 And the fame thereof was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, Joseph's
    brethren are come: and it pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants.
    
    Proverbs 21
    
      23 Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.
      24 Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath.
      25 The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labour.
      26 He coveteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous giveth and
    spareth not.
      27 The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: how much more, when he
    bringeth it with a wicked mind?
      28 A false witness shall perish: but the man that heareth speaketh
    constantly.
      29 A wicked man hardeneth his face: but as for the upright, he directeth his
    way.
      30 There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD.
      31 The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the
    LORD.
    
    Proverbs 22
    
      1 A GOOD name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour
    rather than silver and gold.
      2 The rich and poor meet together: the LORD is the maker of them all.
      3 A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass
    on, and are punished.
      4 By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honour, and life.

    God bless!

    Isaiah 49
    
      6 And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise
    up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also
    give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto
    the end of the earth.
      7 Thus saith the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him whom
    man despiseth, to him whom the nation abhorreth, to a servant of rulers, Kings
    shall see and arise, princes also shall worship, because of the LORD that is
    faithful, and the Holy One of Israel, and he shall choose thee.
      8 Thus saith the LORD, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day
    of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a
    covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the
    desolate heritages;
      9 That thou mayest say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that are in
    darkness, Shew yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures
    shall be in all high places.
      10 They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun smite
    them: for he that hath mercy on them shall lead them, even by the springs of
    water shall he guide them.
    
    Genesis 31
    
      3 And the LORD said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to
    thy kindred; and I will be with thee.
      4 And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto his flock,
      5 And said unto them, I see your father's countenance, that it is not toward
    me as before; but the God of my father hath been with me.
      6 And ye know that with all my power I have served your father.
      7 And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten times; but God
    suffered him not to hurt me.
      8 If he said thus, The speckled shall be thy wages; then all the cattle bare
    speckled: and if he said thus, The ringstraked shall be thy hire; then bare all
    the cattle ringstraked.
      9 Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me.
      10 And it came to pass at the time that the cattle conceived, that I lifted
    up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the rams which leaped upon the
    cattle were ringstraked, speckled, and grisled.
      11 And the angel of God spake unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob: And I said,
    Here am I.
      12 And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the rams which leap upon
    the cattle are ringstraked, speckled, and grisled: for I have seen all that
    Laban doeth unto thee.
      13 I am the God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar, and where thou
    vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto
    the land of thy kindred.
      14 And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, Is there yet any portion
    or inheritance for us in our father's house?
      15 Are we not counted of him strangers? for he hath sold us, and hath quite
    devoured also our money.
      16 For all the riches which God hath taken from our father, that is ours, and
    our children's: now then, whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do.
    
    Proverbs 21
    
      3 To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.
      4 An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin.
      5 The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one
    that is hasty only to want.
      6 The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of
    them that seek death.
      7 The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them; because they refuse to do
    judgment.
      8 The way of man is froward and strange: but as for the pure, his work is
    right.
      9 It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling
    woman in a wide house.
      10 The soul of the wicked desireth evil: his neighbour findeth no favour in
    his eyes.
      11 When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise
    is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.
      12 The righteous man wisely considereth the house of the wicked: but God
    overthroweth the wicked for their wickedness.
      13 Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself,
    but shall not be heard.
      14 A gift in secret pacifieth anger: and a reward in the bosom strong wrath.
      15 It is joy to the just to do judgment: but destruction shall be to the
    workers of iniquity.
      16 The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the
    congregation of the dead.
      17 He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loveth wine and oil
    shall not be rich.
      18 The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for
    the upright.
      19 It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an
    angry woman.
      20 There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a
    foolish man spendeth it up.
      21 He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life,

    Isaiah 48
    
      17 Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD
    thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou
    shouldest go.
      18 O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as
    a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea:
      19 Thy seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like
    the gravel thereof; his name should not have been cut off nor destroyed from
    before me.
      20 Go ye forth of Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans, with a voice of
    singing declare ye, tell this, utter it even to the end of the earth; say ye,
    The LORD hath redeemed his servant Jacob.
      21 And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts: he caused the
    waters to flow out of the rock for them: he clave the rock also, and the waters
    gushed out.
      22 There is no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked.
    
    Isaiah 49
    
      1 Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath
    called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of
    my name.
      2 And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand
    hath he hid me, and made me a polished shaft; in his quiver hath he hid me;
      3 And said unto me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be
    glorified.
      4 Then I said, I have laboured in vain, I have spent my strength for nought,
    and in vain: yet surely my judgment is with the LORD, and my work with my God.
    
    Genesis 27
    
      1 And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so
    that he could not see, he called Esau his eldest son, and said unto him, My
    son: and he said unto him, Behold, here am I.
      2 And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death:
      3 Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and
    go out to the field, and take me some venison;
      4 And make me savoury meat, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may
    eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die.
      5 And Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau his son. And Esau went to the
    field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.
      6 And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father
    speak unto Esau thy brother, saying,
      7 Bring me venison, and make me savoury meat, that I may eat, and bless thee
    before the LORD before my death.
      8 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command
    thee.
      9 Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats;
    and I will make them savoury meat for thy father, such as he loveth:
      10 And thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, and that he may
    bless thee before his death.
      11 And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy
    man, and I am a smooth man:
      12 My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a
    deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing.
      13 And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son: only obey my
    voice, and go fetch me them.
      14 And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother: and his mother
    made savoury meat, such as his father loved.
      15 And Rebekah took goodly raiment of her eldest son Esau, which were with
    her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her younger son:
      16 And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon
    the smooth of his neck:
      17 And she gave the savoury meat and the bread, which she had prepared, into
    the hand of her son Jacob.
      18 And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I;
    who art thou, my son?
      19 And Jacob said unto his father, I am Esau thy first born; I have done
    according as thou badest me: arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison,
    that thy soul may bless me.
      20 And Isaac said unto his son, How is it that thou hast found it so quickly,
    my son? And he said, Because the LORD thy God brought it to me.
      21 And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee,
    my son, whether thou be my very son Esau or not.
      22 And Jacob went near unto Isaac his father; and he felt him, and said, The
    voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.
      23 And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother
    Esau's hands: so he blessed him.
      24 And he said, Art thou my very son Esau? And he said, I am.
      25 And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son's venison, that
    my soul may bless thee. And he brought it near to him, and he did eat: and he
    brought him wine, and he drank.
      26 And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son.
      27 And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell of his raiment,
    and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field
    which the LORD hath blessed:
      28 Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the
    earth, and plenty of corn and wine:
      29 Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy
    brethren, and let thy mother's sons bow down to thee: cursed be every one that
    curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee.
      30 And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob,
    and Jacob was yet scarce gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that
    Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
      31 And he also had made savoury meat, and brought it unto his father, and
    said unto his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his son's venison, that
    thy soul may bless me.
      32 And Isaac his father said unto him, Who art thou? And he said, I am thy
    son, thy firstborn Esau.
      33 And Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who? where is he that hath
    taken venison, and brought it me, and I have eaten of all before thou camest,
    and have blessed him? yea, and he shall be blessed.
      34 And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great and
    exceeding bitter cry, and said unto his father, Bless me, even me also, O my
    father.
      35 And he said, Thy brother came with subtilty, and hath taken away thy
    blessing.
      36 And he said, Is not he rightly named Jacob? for he hath supplanted me
    these two times: he took away my birthright; and, behold, now he hath taken
    away my blessing. And he said, Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me?
      37 And Isaac answered and said unto Esau, Behold, I have made him thy lord,
    and all his brethren have I given to him for servants; and with corn and wine
    have I sustained him: and what shall I do now unto thee, my son?
      38 And Esau said unto his father, Hast thou but one blessing, my father?
    bless me, even me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.
      39 And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, thy dwelling
    shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above;
      40 And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it
    shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his
    yoke from off thy neck.
      41 And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed
    him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at
    hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob.
    
    Proverbs 19
    
      16 He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that
    despiseth his ways shall die.
      17 He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he
    hath given will he pay him again.
      18 Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his
    crying.
      19 A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliver him, yet
    thou must do it again.
      20 Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy
    latter end.
      21 There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the
    LORD, that shall stand.
      22 The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a
    liar.
      23 The fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide
    satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.
      24 A slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom, and will not so much as bring
    it to his mouth again.
      25 Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath
    understanding, and he will understand knowledge.

      1 And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of
    James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint
    him.
      2 And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the
    sepulchre at the rising of the sun.
      3 And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the
    door of the sepulchre?
      4 And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was
    very great.
      5 And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right
    side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted.
      6 And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which
    was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid
    him.
      7 But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into
    Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you.
      8 And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled
    and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any man; for they were afraid.

    building;
      12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered
    in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
      13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer
    sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:
      14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit
    offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to
    serve the living God?

      32 And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before
    them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. And he took
    again the twelve, and began to tell them what things should happen unto him,
      33 Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be
    delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn
    him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles:
      34 And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him,
    and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.
      35 And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto him, saying, Master, we
    would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire.
      36 And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you?
      37 They said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand,
    and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory.
      38 But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup
    that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?
      39 And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed
    drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized
    withal shall ye be baptized:
      40 But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but
    it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared.
      41 And when the ten heard it, they began to be much displeased with James and
    John.
      42 But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which
    are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their
    great ones exercise authority upon them.
      43 But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you,
    shall be your minister:
      44 And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all.
      45 For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister,
    and to give his life a ransom for many.

    Genesis 22
    
      1 And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and
    said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.
      2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and
    get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon
    one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
      3 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two
    of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt
    offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him.
      4 Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar
    off.
      5 And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and
    the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.
      6 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his
    son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them
    together.
      7 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said,
    Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the
    lamb for a burnt offering?
      8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt
    offering: so they went both of them together.
      9 And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an
    altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him
    on the altar upon the wood.
      10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
      11 And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said,
    Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.
      12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing
    unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld
    thy son, thine only son from me.
      13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram
    caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and
    offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.
      14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to
    this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.
      15 And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second
    time,
      16 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast
    done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son:
      17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy
    seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore;
    and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;

    Proverbs 17
    
      17 A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
      18 A man void of understanding striketh hands, and becometh surety in the
    presence of his friend.
      19 He loveth transgression that loveth strife: and he that exalteth his gate
    seeketh destruction.
      20 He that hath a froward heart findeth no good: and he that hath a perverse
    tongue falleth into mischief.
      21 He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow: and the father of a fool
    hath no joy.
      22 A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the
    bones.
      23 A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom to pervert the ways of
    judgment.
      24 Wisdom is before him that hath understanding; but the eyes of a fool are
    in the ends of the earth.
      25 A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bare
    him.
      26 Also to punish the just is not good, nor to strike princes for equity.
      27 He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of
    an excellent spirit.
      28 Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that
    shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.
    
    Proverbs 18
    
      1 Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth
    with all wisdom.
      2 A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover
    itself.
      3 When the wicked cometh, then cometh also contempt, and with ignominy
    reproach.
      4 The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom
    as a flowing brook.
      5 It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to overthrow the
    righteous in judgment.

      2 All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the
    spirits.
      3 Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.
      4 The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day
    of evil.
      5 Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand
    join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.
      6 By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men
    depart from evil.
      7 When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at
    peace with him.
      8 Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right.
      9 A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.

    Isaiah 40
    
      18 To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto
    him?
      19 The workman melteth a graven image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it over
    with gold, and casteth silver chains.
      20 He that is so impoverished that he hath no oblation chooseth a tree that
    will not rot; he seeketh unto him a cunning workman to prepare a graven image,
    that shall not be moved.
      21 Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the
    beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth?
      22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants
    thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and
    spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:
      23 That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the judges of the earth as
    vanity.
      24 Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not be sown: yea, their
    stock shall not take root in the earth: and he shall also blow upon them, and
    they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble.
      25 To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One.
      26 Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that
    bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the
    greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth.
      27 Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the
    LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God?
      28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the
    LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary?
    there is no searching of his understanding.
      29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth
    strength.
      30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly
    fall:
      31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall
    mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall
    walk, and not faint.
    
    Genesis 15
    
      1 After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision,
    saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.
      2 And Abram said, LORD God, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless,
    and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?
      3 And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in
    my house is mine heir.
      4 And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This shall not be
    thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine
    heir.
      5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell
    the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy
    seed be.
      6 And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.
      7 And he said unto him, I am the LORD that brought thee out of Ur of the
    Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.
      8 And he said, LORD God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?
      9 And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old, and a she goat
    of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young
    pigeon.
      10 And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid
    each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not.
      11 And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them away.
      12 And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an
    horror of great darkness fell upon him.
      13 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger
    in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them
    four hundred years;
      14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward
    shall they come out with great substance.
      15 And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good
    old age.
    
    Proverbs 15
    
      7 The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish doeth
    not so.
      8 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer
    of the upright is his delight.
      9 The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the LORD: but he loveth him
    that followeth after righteousness.
      10 Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth
    reproof shall die.
      11 Hell and destruction are before the LORD: how much more then the hearts of
    the children of men?
      12 A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he go unto the
    wise.
      13 A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart
    the spirit is broken.
      14 The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth
    of fools feedeth on foolishness.
      15 All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart
    hath a continual feast.
      16 Better is little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble
    therewith.
      17 Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred
    therewith.
      18 A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth
    strife.
      19 The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the
    righteous is made plain.

    Isaiah 37
    
      33 Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not
    come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shields,
    nor cast a bank against it.
      34 By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come
    into this city, saith the LORD.
      35 For I will defend this city to save it for mine own sake, and for my
    servant David's sake.
      36 Then the angel of the LORD went forth, and smote in the camp of the
    Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early
    in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.
      37 So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt
    at Nineveh.
      38 And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his
    god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword; and they
    escaped into the land of Armenia: and Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead.
    
    Isaiah 38
    
      1 In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son
    of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house
    in order: for thou shalt die, and not live.
      2 Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the LORD,
      3 And said, Remember now, O LORD, I beseech thee, how I have walked before
    thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy
    sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.
      4 Then came the word of the LORD to Isaiah, saying,
      5 Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father,
    I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy
    days fifteen years.
      6 And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of
    Assyria: and I will defend this city.
    
    Genesis 13
    
      12 Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the
    plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.
      13 But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.
      14 And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift
    up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and
    southward, and eastward, and westward:
      15 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed
    for ever.
      16 And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can
    number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered.
      17 Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it;
    for I will give it unto thee.
      18 Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre,
    which is in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the LORD.
    
    Proverbs 14
    
      27 The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of
    death.
      28 In the multitude of people is the king's honour: but in the want of people
    is the destruction of the prince.
      29 He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty
    of spirit exalteth folly.
      30 A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the
    bones.
      31 He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth
    him hath mercy on the poor.
      32 The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous hath hope
    in his death.
      33 Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: but that which
    is in the midst of fools is made known.
      34 Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.
      35 The king's favour is toward a wise servant: but his wrath is against him
    that causeth shame.
    
    Proverbs 15
    
      1 A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.
      2 The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools
    poureth out foolishness.
      3 The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.
      4 A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach
    in the spirit.

    Matthew 28
    
      16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where
    Jesus had appointed them.
      17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.
      18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in
    heaven and in earth.
      19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the
    Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
      20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and,
    lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
    
    Hebrews 6
    
      13 For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no
    greater, he sware by himself,
      14 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply
    thee.
      15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
      16 For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to
    them an end of all strife.
      17 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the
    immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:
      18 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie,
    we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon
    the hope set before us:
      19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and
    which entereth into that within the veil;
      20 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest
    for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

      17 And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto
    thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;
      18 And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and
    gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that
    they should cast him out; and they could not.
      19 He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be
    with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.
      20 And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit
    tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.
      21 And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And
    he said, Of a child.
      22 And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to
    destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help
    us.
      23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him
    that believeth.
      24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears,
    Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
      25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul
    spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of
    him, and enter no more into him.
      26 And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was
    as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.
      27 But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.
      28 And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately,
    Why could not we cast him out?
      29 And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer
    and fasting.
      30 And they departed thence, and passed through Galilee; and he would not
    that any man should know it.
      31 For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is
    delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is
    killed, he shall rise the third day.

    speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him.
      33 And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his

    is, Be opened.
      35 And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was
    loosed, and he spake plain.
      36 And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged
    them, so much the more a great deal they published it;

      14 Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this

    shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.
      15 Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and
    their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?
      16 Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the

    shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?

      5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their
    substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran;
    and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan
    they came.
      6 And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain
    of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.

    people which is in Jerusalem.
      15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell
    are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall
    not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we
    hid ourselves:
      16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation
    a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that
    believeth shall not make haste.
      17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet:

    reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon
    the face of the whole earth.
      5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of
    men builded.
      6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one
    language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from
    them, which they have imagined to do.
      7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not
    understand one another's speech.
      8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the
    earth: and they left off to build the city.
      9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there
    confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter
    them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
    
    Proverbs 13
    
      19 The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is abomination to
    fools to depart from evil.
      20 He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools
    shall be destroyed.
      21 Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repayed.
      22 A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and the
    wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.
      23 Much food is in the tillage of the poor: but there is that is destroyed
    for want of judgment.
      24 He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth
    him betimes.
      25 The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul: but the belly of the
    wicked shall want.

      1 Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with
    her hands.
      2 He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the LORD: but he that is
    perverse in his ways despiseth him.
      3 In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise
    shall preserve them.
      4 Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase is by the strength
    of the ox.
      5 A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies.
      6 A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easy unto
    him that understandeth.

    shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.

      3 I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I
    will keep it night and day.
      4 Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns against me in
    battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.
      5 Or let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; and he
    shall make peace with me.

    according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him?

    Genesis 9
    
      18 And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and
    Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.
      19 These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth
    overspread.
      20 And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:
      21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his
    tent.
      22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told
    his two brethren without.
      23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their
    shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and
    their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.
      24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto
    him.
      25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his
    brethren.
      26 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his
    servant.
      27 God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and
    Canaan shall be his servant.
      28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
      29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.

    foolishness.
      24 The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under
    tribute.
      25 Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it
    glad.
      26 The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour: but the way of the
    wicked seduceth them.
      27 The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the

    transgressors shall eat violence.
      3 He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his
    lips shall have destruction.
      4 The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the
    diligent shall be made fat.
      5 A righteous man hateth lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to
    shame.
      6 Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: but wickedness
    overthroweth the sinner.
      7 There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh
    himself poor, yet hath great riches.
      8 The ransom of a man's life are his riches: but the poor heareth not

      1 O Lord, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for
    thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and
    truth.
      2 For thou hast made of a city an heap; of a defenced city a ruin: a palace
    of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built.
      3 Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee, the city of the terrible
    nations shall fear thee.
      4 For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his
    distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of
    the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.
      5 Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat in a dry place;
    even the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch of the terrible ones shall
    be brought low.
      6 And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto all people a feast
    of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of
    wines on the lees well refined.
      7 And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all
    people, and the vail that is spread over all nations.
      8 He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears
    from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off
    all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it.
      9 And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for

      10 And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the
    cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the
    ark, to every beast of the earth.
      11 And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut
    off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood
    to destroy the earth.
      12 And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me
    and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
      13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant
    between me and the earth.
      14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the
    bow shall be seen in the cloud:
      15 And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every
    living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to
    destroy all flesh.
      16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may
    remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all

      8 A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a
    perverse heart shall be despised.
      9 He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better than he that honoureth
    himself, and lacketh bread.
      10 A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of
    the wicked are cruel.
      11 He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that
    followeth vain persons is void of understanding.
      12 The wicked desireth the net of evil men: but the root of the righteous
    yieldeth fruit.
      13 The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall
    come out of trouble.
      14 A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: and the
    recompence of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him.
      15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto
    counsel is wise.
      16 A fool's wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame.
      17 He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness
    deceit.
      18 There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of
    the wise is health.
      19 The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but
    for a moment.
      20 Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors
    of peace is joy.
      21 There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled
    with mischief.
      22 Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his

    it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:
      25 That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him
    under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart
    from off their shoulders.
      26 This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this is the
    hand that is stretched out upon all the nations.
      27 For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his
    hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?

      29 Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina, because the rod of him that smote thee

      30 And the firstborn of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall lie down in

    earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and
    upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.
      3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green
    herb have I given you all things.
      4 But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not

      5 And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every

    John 21
    
      14 This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples,
    after that he was risen from the dead.
      15 So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas,
    lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that
    I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.
      16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou
    me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto
    him, Feed my sheep.
      17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me?
    Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And
    he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee.
    Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
      18 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst
    thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou
    shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee
    whither thou wouldest not.
      19 This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he
    had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.
      20 Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following;
    which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that
    betrayeth thee?
      21 Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do?
      22 Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to
    thee? follow thou me.
      23 Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should
    not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he
    tarry till I come, what is that to thee?
      24 This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these
    things: and we know that his testimony is true.
      25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they
    should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not
    contain the books that should be written. Amen.
    
    Hebrews 4
    
      14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the
    heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
      15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of
    our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without
    sin.
      16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain
    mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
    
    Hebrews 5
    
      1 For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things
    pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:
      2 Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the
    way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity.
      3 And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to
    offer for sins.
      4 And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God,
    as was Aaron.
      5 So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that
    said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.
      6 As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the
    order of Melchisedec.
    
    Mark 8
    
      34 And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he
    said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up
    his cross, and follow me.
      35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose
    his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.
      36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose
    his own soul?
      37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
      38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this
    adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed,
    when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
    
    Mark 9
    
      1 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them
    that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the
    kingdom of God come with power.

    afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were so

      17 When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need
    of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but
    sinners to repentance.

    God bless!

    Isaiah 13
    
      2 Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain, exalt the voice unto them,
    shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.
      3 I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty ones for
    mine anger, even them that rejoice in my highness.
      4 The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; a
    tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the LORD of
    hosts mustereth the host of the battle.
      5 They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the LORD, and
    the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.
      6 Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction
    from the Almighty.
      7 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt:
      8 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they
    shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at
    another; their faces shall be as flames.
      9 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger,
    to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
      10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give
    their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall
    not cause her light to shine.
      11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their
    iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay
    low the haughtiness of the terrible.
      12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden
    wedge of Ophir.
      13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her
    place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.
    
    Genesis 8
    
      4 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the
    month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
      5 And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth
    month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.
      6 And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window
    of the ark which he had made:
      7 And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters
    were dried up from off the earth.
      8 Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from
    off the face of the ground;
      9 But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto
    him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he
    put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark.
      10 And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out
    of the ark;
      11 And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an
    olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the
    earth.
      12 And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which
    returned not again unto him any more.
      13 And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first
    month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth:
    and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of
    the ground was dry.
      14 And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was
    the earth dried.
      15 And God spake unto Noah, saying,
      16 Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives
    with thee.
      17 Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh,
    both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the
    earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and
    multiply upon the earth.
      18 And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with
    him:
      19 Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth
    upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark.
      20 And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast,
    and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
      21 And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I
    will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of
    man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every
    thing living, as I have done.
    
    Proverbs 10
    
      31 The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom: but the froward tongue shall
    be cut out.
      32 The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth of the
    wicked speaketh frowardness.
    
    Proverbs 11
    
      1 A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his
    delight.
      2 When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.
      3 The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of
    transgressors shall destroy them.
      4 Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from
    death.
      5 The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way: but the wicked shall
    fall by his own wickedness.
      6 The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them: but transgressors
    shall be taken in their own naughtiness.
      7 When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish: and the hope of
    unjust men perisheth.
      8 The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his
    stead.
      9 An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge
    shall the just be delivered.
      10 When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth: and when the
    wicked perish, there is shouting.
      11 By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is overthrown
    by the mouth of the wicked.
      12 He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbour: but a man of
    understanding holdeth his peace.
