- The vine has dried up, and the fig tree withered—
the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree,

- For,
“He who would love life
and see good days,
let him keep his tongue from evil

- They will never be hungry or thirsty any more. The sun won’t beat on them, nor any heat; for the Lamb who is in the middle of the throne shepherds them and leads them to springs of life-giving waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.
- I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer. Every branch in me that doesn’t bear fruit, he takes away. Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.
- Little children, keep yourselves from idols.
- Take words with you, and return to Yahweh.
Tell him, “Forgive all our sins,
and accept that which is good;
so we offer bulls as we vowed of our lips.” - Don’t forsake your friend and your father’s friend.
Don’t go to your brother’s house in the day of your disaster.
A neighbor who is near is better than a distant brother. - You shall not add to the word which I command you, neither shall you take away from it, that you may keep the commandments of Yahweh your God which I command you.
- I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, your transgressions,
and, as a cloud, your sins.
Return to me, for I have redeemed you. - Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

- Depart from evil, and do good.
Seek peace, and pursue it. - I will also give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh.

- Don’t turn to the right hand nor to the left.
Remove your foot from evil. - Why do you set your eyes on that which is not?
For it certainly sprouts wings like an eagle and flies in the sky. - Therefore we don’t faint, but though our outward person is decaying, yet our inward person is renewed day by day.
- But if the wicked turns from all his sins that he has committed, and keeps all my statutes, and does that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live. He shall not die.

My foot has held fast to his steps.
I have kept his way, and not turned away.
