1 Chronicles 21:11

Then Solomon began to build Yahweh’s house at Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where Yahweh appeared to David his father, which he prepared in the place that David had appointed, on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but he who is wise listens to counsel.

Moreover he said to me, “Son of man, receive in your heart and hear with your ears all my words that I speak to you.

Who can count the dust of Jacob, or count the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous! Let my last end be like his!”

who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers didn’t know, that he might humble you, and that he might prove you, to do you good at your latter end;

Oh that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!

Gad came that day to David, and said to him, “Go up, build an altar to Yahweh on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.”

But he abandoned the counsel of the old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men who had grown up with him, who stood before him.

God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it. As he was about to destroy, Yahweh saw, and he relented of the disaster, and said to the destroying angel, “It is enough. Now withdraw your hand.” Yahweh’s angel was standing by the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

Then Yahweh’s angel commanded Gad to tell David that David should go up and raise an altar to Yahweh on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

King Rehoboam took counsel with the old men, who had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, “What counsel do you give me about how to answer these people?”

But he abandoned the counsel of the old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men who had grown up with him, who stood before him.

Some of the heads of fathers’ households, when they came to Yahweh’s house which is in Jerusalem, offered willingly for God’s house to set it up in its place.

Mark the perfect man, and see the upright, for there is a future for the man of peace.

So teach us to count our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

Satisfy us in the morning with your loving kindness, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

My son, listen to your father’s instruction, and don’t forsake your mother’s teaching:

Listen, sons, to a father’s instruction. Pay attention and know understanding;

Listen, my son, and receive my sayings. The years of your life will be many.

Pride only breeds quarrels, but wisdom is with people who take advice.

A fool despises his father’s correction, but he who heeds reproof shows prudence.

The ear that listens to reproof lives, and will be at home among the wise.

Listen to counsel and receive instruction, that you may be wise in your latter end.

“Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Go and tell the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, “Will you not receive instruction to listen to my words?” says Yahweh.

I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, that you may become rich; and white garments, that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes, that you may see.

Though your beginning was small, yet your latter end would greatly increase.
