1
Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:
2
She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table.
3
She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city,
4
Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
5
Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.
6
Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.
2 I
7
He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.
8
Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
5 I
9
Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
7 I
10
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
24 I
11
For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.
9 I
12
If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.
9 I
13
A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.
14
For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,
15
To call passengers who go right on their ways:
16
Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
17
Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.
18
But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.
Deuteronomy 15
19
All the firstling males that come of thy herd and of thy flock thou shalt sanctify unto the Lord thy God: thou shalt do no work with the firstling of thy bullock, nor shear the firstling of thy sheep.
10 I
20
Thou shalt eat it before the Lord thy God year by year in the place which the Lord shall choose, thou and thy household.
10 I
21
And if there be any blemish therein, as if it be lame, or blind, or have any ill blemish, thou shalt not sacrifice it unto the Lord thy God.
10 I
22
Thou shalt eat it within thy gates: the unclean and the clean person shall eat it alike, as the roebuck, and as the hart.
10 I
23
Only thou shalt not eat the blood thereof; thou shalt pour it upon the ground as water.
10 I
Deuteronomy 16
1
Observe the month of Abib, and keep the passover unto the Lord thy God: for in the month of Abib the Lord thy God brought thee forth out of Egypt by night.
10 I
2
Thou shalt therefore sacrifice the passover unto the Lord thy God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which the Lord shall choose to place his name there.
10 I
3
Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread therewith, even the bread of affliction; for thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt in haste: that thou mayest remember the day when thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy life.
10 I
4
And there shall be no leavened bread seen with thee in all thy coast seven days; neither shall there any thing of the flesh, which thou sacrificedst the first day at even, remain all night until the morning.
10 I
5
Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within any of thy gates, which the Lord thy God giveth thee:
10 I
6
But at the place which the Lord thy God shall choose to place his name in, there thou shalt sacrifice the passover at even, at the going down of the sun, at the season that thou camest forth out of Egypt.
10 I
7
And thou shalt roast and eat it in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose: and thou shalt turn in the morning, and go unto thy tents.
10 I
8
Six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread: and on the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to the Lord thy God: thou shalt do no work therein.
10 I
9
Seven weeks shalt thou number unto thee: begin to number the seven weeks from such time as thou beginnest to put the sickle to the corn.
10 I
10
And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto the Lord thy God with a tribute of a freewill offering of thine hand, which thou shalt give unto the Lord thy God, according as the Lord thy God hath blessed thee:
10 I
11
And thou shalt rejoice before the Lord thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are among you, in the place which the Lord thy God hath chosen to place his name there.
10 I
12
And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt: and thou shalt observe and do these statutes.
12 I
13
Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles seven days, after that thou hast gathered in thy corn and thy wine:
10 I
14
And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite, the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates.
10 I
15
Seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast unto the Lord thy God in the place which the Lord shall choose: because the Lord thy God shall bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the works of thine hands, therefore thou shalt surely rejoice.
10 I
16
Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the Lord thy God in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and they shall not appear before the Lord empty:
10 I
17
Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the Lord thy God which he hath given thee.
10 I
Hosea 14
1
O israel, return unto the Lord thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity.
14 I
2
Take with you words, and turn to the Lord: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips.
4 I
3
Asshur shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses: neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, Ye are our gods: for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy.
4
I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him.
10 I
5
I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.
6 I
6
His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon.
4 I
7
They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the corn, and grow as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon.
4 I
8
Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have heard him, and observed him: I am like a green fir tree. From me is thy fruit found.
9
Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the Lord are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein.
7 I
Philemon 1
8
Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient,
9
Yet for love’s sake I rather beseech thee, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.
10
I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds:
11
Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me:
12
Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels:
13
Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel:
14
But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly.
15
For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever;
16
Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord?
17
If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself.
4 I
18
If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee ought, put that on mine account;
4 I
19
I Paul have written it with mine own hand, I will repay it: albeit I do not say to thee how thou owest unto me even thine own self besides.
20
Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord.
5 I
21
Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.
2 I
22
But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given unto you.
