Now may Yahweh show loving kindness and truth to you. I also will reward you for this kindness, because you have done this thing.

For Yahweh’s eyes run back and forth throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. You have done foolishly in this; for from now on you will have wars.”

All vision has become to you like the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one who is educated, saying, “Read this, please;” and he says, “I can’t, for it is sealed;”

“Why will you contend with me? You all have transgressed against me,” says Yahweh.

Now I have come to make you understand what will happen to your people in the latter days; for the vision is yet for many days.”

“Those who are wise among the people will instruct many; yet they will fall by the sword and by flame, by captivity and by plunder, many days.

But I say, didn’t they hear? Yes, most certainly, “Their sound went out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.”

Now the natural man doesn’t receive the things of God’s Spirit, for they are foolishness to him, and he can’t know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

that you may walk worthily of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God,

always learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, “Whoever is on Yahweh’s side, come to me!” All the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to him.

While there was war between Saul’s house and David’s house, Abner made himself strong in Saul’s house.

Whereas you came but yesterday, should I today make you go up and down with us, since I go where I may? Return, and take back your brothers. Mercy and truth be with you.”

He said, “I have been very jealous for Yahweh, the God of Armies; for the children of Israel have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword. I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.”

Then he wrote a letter the second time to them, saying, “If you are on my side, and if you will listen to my voice, take the heads of the men who are your master’s sons, and come to me to Jezreel by tomorrow this time.” Now the king’s sons, being seventy persons, were with the great men of the city, who brought them up.

All the paths of Yahweh are loving kindness and truth to such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

Oh, send out your light and your truth. Let them lead me. Let them bring me to your holy hill, to your tents.

He will send from heaven, and save me, he rebukes the one who is pursuing me. God will send out his loving kindness and his truth.

He shall be enthroned in God’s presence forever. Appoint your loving kindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

Mercy and truth meet together. Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne. Loving kindness and truth go before your face.

Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand up for me against the evildoers?

Open my eyes, that I may see wondrous things out of your law.

A fool has no delight in understanding, but only in revealing his own opinion.

Many men claim to be men of unfailing love, but who can find a faithful man?

Buy the truth, and don’t sell it. Get wisdom, discipline, and understanding.

Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.

I said in my heart, “God will judge the righteous and the wicked; for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.”

I will get up now, and go about the city; in the streets and in the squares I will seek him whom my soul loves. I sought him, but I didn’t find him.

“Run back and forth through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in its wide places, if you can find a man, if there is anyone who does justly, who seeks truth, then I will pardon her.

The wise men are disappointed. They are dismayed and trapped. Behold, they have rejected Yahweh’s word. What kind of wisdom is in them?

“Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, ‘Write all the words that I have spoken to you in a book.

Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come on Babylon, even all these words that are written concerning Babylon.

My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and on every high hill. Yes, my sheep were scattered on all the surface of the earth. There was no one who searched or sought.”

But I will tell you that which is inscribed in the writing of truth. There is no one who holds with me against these, but Michael your prince.

He will set his face to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, and with him equitable conditions. He will perform them. He will give him the daughter of women, to corrupt her; but she will not stand, and won’t be for him.

Some of those who are wise will fall, to refine them, and to purify, and to make them white, even to the time of the end; because it is yet for the time appointed.
