Deuteronomy 4:9

Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it is the wellspring of life.

and you shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up.

You shall teach them to your children, talking of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.

For I have known him, to the end that he may command his children and his household after him, that they may keep the way of Yahweh, to do righteousness and justice; to the end that Yahweh may bring on Abraham that which he has spoken of him.”

He said to them, “Set your heart to all the words which I testify to you today, which you shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law.

You fathers, don’t provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

The secret things belong to Yahweh our God; but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.

My son, give me your heart; and let your eyes keep in my ways.

He said to them, “It isn’t for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set within his own authority.

Remember therefore how you have received and heard. Keep it and repent. If therefore you won’t watch, I will come as a thief, and you won’t know what hour I will come upon you.

He spoke to the children of Israel, saying, “When your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, ‘What do these stones mean?’

I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.

Yes, even when I am old and gray-haired, God, don’t forsake me, until I have declared your strength to the next generation, your might to everyone who is to come.

If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.

The law of his God is in his heart. None of his steps shall slide.

My son, let them not depart from your eyes. Keep sound wisdom and discretion:

Discipline your son, for there is hope; don’t be a willing party to his death.

Fathers, don’t provoke your children, so that they won’t be discouraged.

Therefore we ought to pay greater attention to the things that were heard, lest perhaps we drift away.

Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and repent and do the first works; or else I am coming to you swiftly, and will move your lamp stand out of its place, unless you repent.

I delight to do your will, my God. Yes, your law is within my heart.”

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

“Now therefore write this song for yourselves, and teach it to the children of Israel. Put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel.

We will not hide them from their children, telling to the generation to come the praises of Yahweh, his strength, and his wondrous deeds that he has done.

My son, keep your father’s commandment, and don’t forsake your mother’s teaching.

My son, keep my words. Lay up my commandments within you.

Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.

It is the glory of God to conceal a thing, but the glory of kings is to search out a matter.

The rod of correction gives wisdom, but a child left to himself causes shame to his mother.

Your words were found, and I ate them. Your words were to me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart, for I am called by your name, Yahweh, God of Armies.

Watch! Stand firm in the faith! Be courageous! Be strong!

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fervent heat, and the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.

Be very careful, for you saw no kind of form on the day that Yahweh spoke to you in Horeb out of the middle of the fire,

Be careful, lest you forget the covenant of Yahweh your God, which he made with you, and make yourselves a carved image in the form of anything which Yahweh your God has forbidden you.

These words, which I command you today, shall be on your heart;

This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it; for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.

Don’t reject me in my old age. Don’t forsake me when my strength fails.

How I love your law! It is my meditation all day.

My son, if you will receive my words, and store up my commandments within you,

Listen to your father who gave you life, and don’t despise your mother when she is old.

He has shown you, O man, what is good. What does Yahweh require of you, but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?

But of that day or that hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your heart to the Lord.

and that you may tell in the hearing of your son, and of your son’s son, what things I have done to Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that you may know that I am Yahweh.”

Therefore you shall lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your soul. You shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes.

Whoever rebels against your commandment, and doesn’t listen to your words in all that you command him shall himself be put to death. Only be strong and courageous.”

but his delight is in Yahweh’s law. On his law he meditates day and night.

Blessed are those who keep his statutes, who seek him with their whole heart.

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

Let them not depart from your eyes. Keep them in the center of your heart.

Correct your son, and he will give you peace; yes, he will bring delight to your soul.

For whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have abundance, but whoever doesn’t have, from him will be taken away even that which he has.

that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, “I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world.”

Those in the good ground, these are those who with an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it tightly, and produce fruit with perseverance.

Be careful therefore how you hear. For whoever has, to him will be given; and whoever doesn’t have, from him will be taken away even that which he thinks he has.”

“For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct him?” But we have Christ’s mind.

For you yourselves know well that the day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night.

You see that faith worked with his works, and by works faith was perfected.

This is now, beloved, the second letter that I have written to you; and in both of them I stir up your sincere mind by reminding you,

“Behold, I come like a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his clothes, so that he doesn’t walk naked, and they see his shame.”

“Be careful to do all things that I have said to you; and don’t invoke the name of other gods or even let them be heard out of your mouth.

that this may be a sign among you, that when your children ask in the future, saying, ‘What do you mean by these stones?’

Now set your heart and your soul to follow Yahweh your God. Arise therefore, and build the sanctuary of Yahweh God, to bring the ark of Yahweh’s covenant and the holy vessels of God into the house that is to be built for Yahweh’s name.”

The friendship of Yahweh is with those who fear him. He will show them his covenant.

For the perverse is an abomination to Yahweh, but his friendship is with the upright.

The living, the living, he shall praise you, as I do today. The father shall make known your truth to the children.

To whom then will you liken God? Or what likeness will you compare to him?

Even to old age I am he, and even to gray hairs I will carry you. I have made, and I will bear. Yes, I will carry, and will deliver.

For who has stood in the council of Yahweh, that he should perceive and hear his word? Who has listened to my word, and heard it?

The man said to me, “Son of man, see with your eyes, and hear with your ears, and set your heart on all that I will show you; for you have been brought here so that I may show them to you. Declare all that you see to the house of Israel.”

“Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in you, and no secret troubles you, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and its interpretation.

For to everyone who has will be given, and he will have abundance, but from him who doesn’t have, even that which he has will be taken away.

‘For I tell you that to everyone who has, will more be given; but from him who doesn’t have, even that which he has will be taken away from him.

but these are written, that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name.

Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness,

how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation—which at the first having been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard,

You shall consider in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so Yahweh your God disciplines you.

that they might set their hope in God, and not forget God’s deeds, but keep his commandments,

You have commanded your precepts, that we should fully obey them.

My son, don’t forget my teaching; but let your heart keep my commandments:

Yahweh says, “Be careful, and bear no burden on the Sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem.

Be careful. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him. If he repents, forgive him.

‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings, and brought you to myself.

You shall set bounds to the people all around, saying, ‘Be careful that you don’t go up onto the mountain, or touch its border. Whoever touches the mountain shall be surely put to death.

Be careful, lest your heart be deceived, and you turn away to serve other gods and worship them;

if only you diligently listen to Yahweh your God’s voice, to observe to do all this commandment which I command you today.

Only take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you, to love Yahweh your God, to walk in all his ways, to keep his commandments, to hold fast to him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.”

You have seen all that Yahweh your God has done to all these nations because of you; for it is Yahweh your God who has fought for you.

Take good heed therefore to yourselves, that you love Yahweh your God.

The children of Israel did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, and forgot Yahweh their God, and served the Baals and the Asheroth.

The children of Israel didn’t remember Yahweh their God, who had delivered them out of the hand of all their enemies on every side;

You see many things, but don’t observe. His ears are open, but he doesn’t listen.

Remember these things, Jacob and Israel; for you are my servant. I have formed you. You are my servant. Israel, you will not be forgotten by me.

where your fathers tested me and tried me, and saw my deeds for forty years.

looking carefully lest there be any man who falls short of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and many be defiled by it,
