therefore despise not the discipline of the Almighty. - The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise. - No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.

- My son, do not despise the Lord's discipline
or be weary of his reproof,
for the Lord reproves him whom he loves,
as a father the son in whom he delights. - He was despised and rejected by men,
a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief;
and as one from whom men hide their faces
he was despised, and we esteemed him not. - A fool despises his father's instruction,
but whoever heeds reproof is prudent. - God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God.
- Whoever keeps the commandment keeps his life;
he who despises his ways will die.
Who is this King of glory?
The Lord of hosts,
he is the King of glory! Selah Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious.Next verse!With image
