- But let justice roll out like waters,
And righteousness like an ever-flowing stream. - Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence, and in your moral excellence, knowledge, and in your knowledge, self-control, and in your self-control, perseverance, and in your perseverance, godliness, and in your godliness, brotherly kindness, and in your brotherly kindness, love.
- Certainly the Lord God does nothing
Unless He reveals His secret plan
To His servants the prophets. - A fool’s lips bring strife,
And his mouth invites beatings. - Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion!
Shout in triumph, daughter of Jerusalem!
Behold, your king is coming to you;
He is righteous and endowed with salvation,
Humble, and mounted on a donkey,
Even on a colt, the foal of a donkey. - How blessed is he whose wrongdoing is forgiven,
Whose sin is covered! - Wealth obtained from nothing dwindles,
But one who gathers by labor increases it. - Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those with leprosy, cast out demons. Freely you received, freely give.
- I did not eat any tasty food, nor did meat or wine enter my mouth, nor did I use any ointment at all until the entire three weeks were completed.
- Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
- Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.
- You, Lord, rule forever;
Your throne is from generation to generation. - For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every evil thing.
- A fool rejects his father’s discipline,
But he who complies with rebuke is sensible. - God makes a home for the lonely;
He leads out the prisoners into prosperity,
Only the rebellious live in parched lands. - We have sinned, we have done wrong, and acted wickedly and rebelled, even turning aside from Your commandments and ordinances.
- Let’s examine and search out our ways,
And let’s return to the Lord. - A fool’s anger is known at once,
But a prudent person conceals dishonor. - Little children, guard yourselves from idols.
- Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility consider one another as more important than yourselves.
- One who conceals an offense seeks love,
But one who repeats a matter separates close friends. - Excellent speech is not fitting for a fool,
Much less are lying lips to a prince. - For I give plenty of water to the weary ones, and refresh everyone who languishes.
- The Lord is compassionate and gracious,
Slow to anger and abounding in mercy. - An excellent wife, who can find her?
For her worth is far above jewels.
