- The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge:
but fools despise wisdom and instruction. - Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth:
therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty. - The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit:
a broken and a contrite heart,
O God, thou wilt not despise. - No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
- Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
- Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
- My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord;
neither be weary of his correction:
For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth;
even as a father the son in whom he delighteth. - He is despised and rejected of men;
a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief:
and we hid as it were our faces from him;
he was despised, and we esteemed him not. - A fool despiseth his father's instruction:
but he that regardeth reproof is prudent. - And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence.
- He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul;
but he that despiseth his ways shall die.
The Lord our God be with us, as he was with our fathers: let him not leave us, nor forsake us. And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.Next verse!With image
