Isaiah 41

  4 Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I
the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am he.
  5 The isles saw it, and feared; the ends of the earth were afraid, drew near,
and came.
  6 They helped every one his neighbour; and every one said to his brother, Be
of good courage.
  7 So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, and he that smootheth with the
hammer him that smote the anvil, saying, It is ready for the sodering: and he
fastened it with nails, that it should not be moved.
  8 But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of
Abraham my friend.
  9 Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the
chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee,
and not cast thee away.
  10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I
will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the
right hand of my righteousness.
  11 Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and
confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall
perish.
  12 Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended
with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of
nought.
  13 For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear
not; I will help thee.
  14 Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith
the LORD, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.

Genesis 17

  1 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram,
and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.
  2 And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee
exceedingly.
  3 And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,
  4 As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of
many nations.
  5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be
Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.
  6 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee,
and kings shall come out of thee.
  7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after
thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee,
and to thy seed after thee.
  8 And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein
thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and
I will be their God.
  9 And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and
thy seed after thee in their generations.

Proverbs 15

  20 A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother.
  21 Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom: but a man of
understanding walketh uprightly.
  22 Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of
counsellors they are established.
  23 A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due
season, how good is it!
  24 The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell
beneath.
  25 The LORD will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the
border of the widow.
  26 The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD: but the words
of the pure are pleasant words.
  27 He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth
gifts shall live.
  28 The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked
poureth out evil things.
  29 The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the
righteous.
  30 The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: and a good report maketh the
bones fat.
  31 The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise.
  32 He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth
reproof getteth understanding.
  33 The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is
humility.

Proverbs 16

  1 The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from
the LORD.
  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.
