Knowing the word of God

Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.  He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the Lord : but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him.  In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them.  Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase is by the strength of the ox.  A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies.  A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth.  Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge.  The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools is deceit.  Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour.  The heart knoweth his own bitterness; and a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy.  The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish.  There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.  Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness.  The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself.  The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going.  A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident.  He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated.  The simple inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.  The evil bow before the good; and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.  The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich hath many friends.  He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he.  Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth shall be to them that devise good.  In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.  The crown of the wise is their riches: but the foolishness of fools is folly.  A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful witness speaketh lies.  In the fear of the Lord is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge.  The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.  In the multitude of people is the king's honour: but in the want of people is the destruction of the prince.  He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.  A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones.  He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor.  The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous hath hope in his death.  Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: but that which is in the midst of fools is made known.  Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.  The king's favour is toward a wise servant: but his wrath is against him that causeth shame.

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...

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...
