^25:1O Lord God, I will glorify thee, I will sing to thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things, even an ancient and faithful counsel. So be it. ²For thou hast made cities a heap, even cities made strong that their foundations should not fall: the city of ungodly men shall not be built for ever. ³Therefore shall the poor people bless thee, and cities of injured men shall bless thee. ⁴For thou hast been a helper to every lowly city, and a shelter to them that were disheartened by reason of poverty: thou shalt deliver them from wicked men: thou hast been a shelter of them that thirst, and a refreshing air to injured men. ⁵We were as faint-hearted men thirsting in Sion, by reason of ungodly men to whom thou didst deliver us. ⁶And the Lord of hosts shall make a feast for all the nations: on this mount they shall drink gladness, they shall drink wine: ⁷they shall anoint themselves with ointment in this mountain. Impart thou all these things to the nations; for this is God's counsel upon all the nations. ⁸Death has prevailed and swallowed men up; but again the Lord God has taken away every tear from every face. He has taken away the reproach of his people from all the earth: for the mouth of the Lord has spoken it. ⁹And in that day they shall say, Behold our God in whom we have trusted, and he shall save us: this is the Lord; we have waited for him, and we have exulted, and will rejoice in our salvation.

^9:8And God spoke to Noe, and to his sons with him, saying, ⁹And behold I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you, ¹⁰and with every living creature with you, of birds and of beasts, and with all the wild beasts of the earth, as many as are with you, of all that come out of the ark. ¹¹And I will establish my covenant with you and all flesh shall not any more die by the water of the flood, and there shall no more be a flood of water to destroy all the earth. ¹²And the Lord God said to Noe, This is the sign of the covenant which I set between me and you, and between every living creature which is with you for perpetual generations. ¹³I set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of covenant between me and the earth. ¹⁴And it shall be when I gather clouds upon the earth, that my bow shall be seen in the cloud. ¹⁵And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you, and between every living soul in all flesh, and there shall no longer be water for a deluge, so as to blot out all flesh. ¹⁶And my bow shall be in the cloud, and I will look to remember the everlasting covenant between me and the earth, and between every living soul in all flesh, which is upon the earth. ¹⁷And God said to Noe, This is the sign of the covenant, which I have made between me and all flesh, which is upon the earth.

^12:8The mouth of an understanding man is praised by a man; but he that is dull of heart is had in derision. ⁹Better is a man in dishonour serving himself, than one honouring himself and wanting bread. ¹⁰A righteous man has pity for the lives of his cattle; but the bowels of the ungodly are unmerciful. ¹¹He that tills his own land shall be satisfied with bread; but they that pursue vanities are void of understanding. ¹²The desires of the ungodly are evil; but the roots of the godly are firmly set. ¹³For the sin of his lips a sinner falls into snares; but a righteous man escapes from them. ¹⁴The soul of a man shall be filled with good from the fruits of his mouth; and the recompence of his lips shall be given to him. ¹⁵The ways of fools are right in their own eyes; but a wise man hearkens to counsels. ¹⁶A fool declares his wrath the same day; but a prudent man hides his own disgrace. ¹⁷A righteous man declares the open truth; but an unjust witness is deceitful. ¹⁸Some wound as they speak, like swords; but the tongues of the wise heal. ¹⁹True lips establish testimony; but a hasty witness has an unjust tongue. ²⁰There is deceit in the heart of him that imagines evil; but they that love peace shall rejoice. ²¹No injustice will please a just man; but the ungodly will be filled with mischief. ²²Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord; but he that deals faithfully is accepted with him.

^5:15But the righteous live for evermore; their reward also is with the Lord, and the care of them is with the most High. ¹⁶Therefore shall they receive a glorious kingdom, and a beautiful crown from the Lord's hand: for with his right hand shall he cover them, and with his arm shall he protect them. ¹⁷He shall take to him his jealousy for complete armour, and make the creature his weapon for the revenge of his enemies. ¹⁸He shall put on righteousness as a breastplate, and true judgment instead of an helmet. ¹⁹He shall take holiness for an invincible shield. ²⁰His severe wrath shall he sharpen for a sword, and the world shall fight with him against the unwise. ²¹Then shall the right aiming thunderbolts go abroad; and from the clouds, as from a well drawn bow, shall they fly to the mark. ²²And hailstones full of wrath shall be cast as out of a stone bow, and the water of the sea shall rage against them, and the floods shall cruelly drown them. ²³Yea, a mighty wind shall stand up against them, and like a storm shall blow them away: thus iniquity shall lay waste the whole earth, and ill dealing shall overthrow the thrones of the mighty. ^6:1Hear therefore, O ye kings, and understand; learn, ye that be judges of the ends of the earth. ²Give ear, ye that rule the people, and glory in the multitude of nations. ³For power is given you of the Lord, and sovereignty from the Highest, who shall try your works, and search out your counsels.

^4:7But though the righteous be prevented with death, yet shall he be in rest. ⁸For honourable age is not that which standeth in length of time, nor that is measured by number of years. ⁹But wisdom is the grey hair unto men, and an unspotted life is old age. ¹⁰He pleased God, and was beloved of him: so that living among sinners he was translated. ¹¹Yea, speedily was he taken away, lest that wickedness should alter his understanding, or deceit beguile his soul. ¹²For the bewitching of naughtiness doth obscure things that are honest; and the wandering of concupiscence doth undermine the simple mind. ¹³He, being made perfect in a short time, fulfilled a long time: ¹⁴for his soul pleased the Lord: therefore hasted he to take him away from among the wicked. ¹⁵This the people saw, and understood not, neither laid they up this in their minds, That his grace and mercy is with his saints, and that he hath respect unto his chosen.

^28:10And Jacob went forth from the well of the oath, and departed into Charrhan. ¹¹And came to a certain place and slept there, for the sun had gone down; and he took one of the stones of the place, and put it at his head, and lay down to sleep in that place, ¹²and dreamed, and behold a ladder fixed on the earth, whose top reached to heaven, and the angels of God ascended and descended on it. ¹³And the Lord stood upon it, and said, I am the God of thy father Abraam, and the God of Isaac; fear not, the land on which thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed. ¹⁴And thy seed shall be as the sand of the earth; and it shall spread abroad to the sea, and the south, and the north, and to the east; and in thee and in thy seed shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed. ¹⁵And behold I am with thee to preserve thee continually in all the way wherein thou shalt go; and I will bring thee back to this land; for I will not desert thee, until I have done all that I have said to thee. ¹⁶And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and said, The Lord is in this place, and I knew it not. ¹⁷And he was afraid, and said, How fearful is this place! this is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.

^43:27And it shall come to pass from the eighth day and onward, that the priests shall offer your whole-burnt-offerings on the altar, and your peace-offerings; and I will accept you, saith the Lord. ^44:1Then he brought me back by the way of the outer gate of the sanctuary that looks eastward; and it was shut. ²And the Lord said to me, This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no one shall pass through it; for the Lord God of Israel shall enter by it, and it shall be shut. ³For the prince, he shall sit in it, to eat bread before the Lord; he shall go in by the way of the porch of the gate, and shall go forth by the way of the same. ⁴And he brought me in by the way of the gate that looks northward, in front of the house: and I looked, and, behold, the house was full of the glory of the Lord: and I fell upon my face.

^9:1Wisdom has built a house for herself, and set up seven pillars. ²She has killed her beasts; she has mingled her wine in a bowl, and prepared her table. ³She has sent forth her servants, calling with a loud proclamation to the feast, saying, ⁴Whoso is foolish, let him turn aside to me: and to them that want understanding she says, ⁵Come, eat of my bread, and drink wine which I have mingled for you. ⁶Leave folly, that ye may reign for ever; and seek wisdom, and improve understanding by knowledge. ⁷He that reproves evil men shall get dishonour to himself; and he that rebukes an ungodly man shall disgrace himself. ⁸Rebuke not evil men, lest they should hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee. ⁹Give an opportunity to a wise man, and he will be wiser: instruct a just man, and he will receive more instruction. ¹⁰The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the counsel of saints is understanding: ¹¹For in this way thou shalt live long, and years of thy life shall be added to thee.
