- So shall the knowledge of wisdom be to your soul;
If you have found it, there is a prospect,
And your hope will not be cut off. - The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints.
- Does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
- My soul, wait silently for God alone,
For my expectation is from Him. - The hope of the righteous will be gladness,
But the expectation of the wicked will perish. - For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.
But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice.’ For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance. For the Lord your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn His face from you if you return to Him.Next verse!With image
