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,
righteousness, and honour.
