God bless!

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.
