if he closes his lips, he is regarded as intelligent. - Blessed is the man who perseveres when he is tempted, for when he has been proven, he will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.
- When the Advocate comes
whom I will send you from the Father,
the Spirit of truth who comes from the Father,

- When you pray do not go on babbling endlessly as the pagans do, for they believe that they are more likely to be heard because of their many words.

- When riches increase,
so do those who are eager to accumulate them,
and those who have accumulated them must remain content
simply to feast their eyes on them. - I will praise you in sincerity of heart
as I ponder your righteous judgments. - My soul longs for you throughout the night,
and my spirit within me seeks your presence.
For when your judgments are revealed to the earth,
the inhabitants of the world learn to practice justice. - When anyone turns a deaf ear to the law,
even his prayer is detestable. - Remember your Creator in the days of your youth
before the bad times come
and the years draw near when you will say,
“I take no pleasure in them”. - But God is rich in his mercy, and because he had such great love for us, he brought us to life with Christ when we were already dead through sin—it is by grace that you have been saved.

are like a yesterday that has passed
or one of the watches of the night. - How wonderful and delightful it is
for brothers to live together in unity. - They shall be mine,
says the Lord of hosts,
my own special possession
on the day when I act,
and I will have compassion on them
as a father has compassion
on the son who serves him. - Even when you reach old age
I will still be the same.
Even when your hair is gray,
I will still carry you.
I have made you and I will uphold you;
I will carry you and save you.
