1
My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
36 I
2
For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
19 I
3
Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
35 I
4
So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
21 I
5
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
48 I
6
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
54 I
7
Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.
20 I
8
It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
4 I
9
Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
30 I
10
So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
12 I
11
My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord; neither be weary of his correction:
17 I
12
For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
15 I
Deuteronomy 6
1
Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the Lord your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it:
10 I
2
That thou mightest fear the Lord thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son’s son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.
12 I
3
Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the Lord God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey.
12 I
4
Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord:
26 I
5
And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
55 I
6
And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
22 I
7
And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
18 I
8
And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.
20 I
9
And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.
18 I
10
And it shall be, when the Lord thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou buildedst not,
10 I
11
And houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and wells digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst not; when thou shalt have eaten and be full;
10 I
12
Then beware lest thou forget the Lord, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
14 I
13
Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name.
16 I
14
Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are round about you;
10 I
15
(For the Lord thy God is a jealous God among you) lest the anger of the Lord thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the earth.
10 I
16
Ye shall not tempt the Lord your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.
10 I
17
Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the Lord your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee.
10 I
18
And thou shalt do that which is right and good in the sight of the Lord: that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess the good land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers.
15 I
19
To cast out all thine enemies from before thee, as the Lord hath spoken.
11 I
20
And when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which the Lord our God hath commanded you?
10 I
21
Then thou shalt say unto thy son, We were Pharaoh’s bondmen in Egypt; and the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand:
10 I
22
And the Lord shewed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household, before our eyes:
10 I
23
And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers.
10 I
24
And the Lord commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the Lord our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day.
12 I
25
And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the Lord our God, as he hath commanded us.
14 I
Hosea 2
2
Plead with your mother, plead: for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband: let her therefore put away her whoredoms out of her sight, and her adulteries from between her breasts;
3
Lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and slay her with thirst.
4
And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they be the children of whoredoms.
5
For their mother hath played the harlot: she that conceived them hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink.
6
Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths.
7
And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now.
8
For she did not know that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold, which they prepared for Baal.
9
Therefore will I return, and take away my corn in the time thereof, and my wine in the season thereof, and will recover my wool and my flax given to cover her nakedness.
10
And now will I discover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of mine hand.
11
I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts.
12
And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, whereof she hath said, These are my rewards that my lovers have given me: and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them.
13
And I will visit upon her the days of Baalim, wherein she burned incense to them, and she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers, and forgat me, saith the Lord.
14
Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her.
15
And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
16
And it shall be at that day, saith the Lord, that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali.
17
For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name.
2 I
18
And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely.
19
And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies.
20
I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the Lord.
2 I
21
And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith the Lord, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth;
2 I
22
And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jezreel.
2 I
23
And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my God.
2 I
2 Timothy 4
9
Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me:
10
For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.
11
Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.
12
And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus.
13
The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, but especially the parchments.
14
Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works:
15
Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words.
16
At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge.
17
Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
5 I
18
And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
21 I
19
Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.
20
Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus have I left at Miletum sick.
21
Do thy diligence to come before winter. Eubulus greeteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.
22
The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.
12 I
