Knowing the word of God

Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.  The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion: whoso provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own soul.  It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.  The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing.  Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out.  Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?  The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.  A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with his eyes.  Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?  Divers weights, and divers measures, both of them are alike abomination to the Lord .  Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right.  The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the Lord hath made even both of them.  Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.  It is naught, it is naught, saith the buyer: but when he is gone his way, then he boasteth.  There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.  Take his garment that is surety for a stranger: and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.  Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.  Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.  He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.  Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness.  An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning; but the end thereof shall not be blessed.  Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on the Lord , and he shall save thee.  Divers weights are an abomination unto the Lord ; and a false balance is not good.  Man's goings are of the Lord ; how can a man then understand his own way?  It is a snare to the man who devoureth that which is holy, and after vows to make enquiry.  A wise king scattereth the wicked, and bringeth the wheel over them.  The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord , searching all the inward parts of the belly.  Mercy and truth preserve the king: and his throne is upholden by mercy.  The glory of young men is their strength: and the beauty of old men is the gray head.  The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the inward parts of the belly.
Proverbs 20:1‭-‬30 KJV

Knowing the word of God

And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,  Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,  And say, Thus saith the Lord God ; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:  And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:  Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:  Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.  Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.  After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back f...

Knowing the word of God

The word of the Lord that came unto Hosea, the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.  The beginning of the word of the Lord by Hosea. And the Lord said to Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms and children of whoredoms: for the land hath committed great whoredom, departing from the Lord .  So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; which conceived, and bare him a son.  And the Lord said unto him, Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.  And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.  And she conceived again, and bare a daughter. And God said unto him, Call her name Lo–ruhamah: for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel; but I will utterly take t...

Knowing the word of God

I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved.  I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night.  I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them?  My beloved put in his hand by the hole of the door, and my bowels were moved for him.  I rose up to open to my beloved; and my hands dropped with myrrh, and my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock.  I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone: my soul failed when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.  The watchmen that went abou...
