Hebrews 3:12

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

One who trusts in himself is a fool; but one who walks in wisdom is kept safe.

Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”

This is an evil in all that is done under the sun, that there is one event to all: yes also, the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead.

The heart is deceitful above all things and it is exceedingly corrupt. Who can know it?

But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their synagogues they will scourge you.

For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual sins, thefts, false testimony, and blasphemies.

Yahweh saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of man’s heart was continually only evil.

But they didn’t listen or turn their ear, but walked in their own counsels and in the stubbornness of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.

You are alienated from Christ, you who desire to be justified by the law. You have fallen away from grace.

Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him.

So I let them go after the stubbornness of their hearts, that they might walk in their own counsels.

Stop trusting in man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for of what account is he?

Behold, his soul is puffed up. It is not upright in him, but the righteous will live by his faith.

But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for God’s Kingdom.”

but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst again; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.”

For in it is revealed God’s righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, “But the righteous shall live by faith.”

“Keep your feet from being bare, and your throat from thirst. But you said, ‘It is in vain. No, for I have loved strangers, and I will go after them.’

Yahweh says: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man, relies on strength of flesh, and whose heart departs from Yahweh.

But they say, ‘It is in vain; for we will walk after our own plans, and we will each follow the stubbornness of his evil heart.’ ”

“It shall be eighteen thousand reeds around: and the name of the city from that day shall be, ‘Yahweh is there.’

I said therefore to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins.”

Now that no man is justified by the law before God is evident, for, “The righteous will live by faith.”

with all prayer and requests, praying at all times in the Spirit, and being watchful to this end in all perseverance and requests for all the saints:

An arm of flesh is with him, but Yahweh our God is with us to help us and to fight our battles.” The people rested themselves on the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.

Yet they didn’t listen to me or incline their ear, but made their neck stiff. They did worse than their fathers.

Yet they didn’t obey, nor turn their ear, but everyone walked in the stubbornness of their evil heart. Therefore I brought on them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but they didn’t do them.’ ”

Behold, I was born in iniquity. My mother conceived me in sin.

Forty long years I was grieved with that generation, and said, “It is a people that errs in their heart. They have not known my ways.”

Pride goes before destruction, and an arrogant spirit before a fall.

Why do you spend money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which doesn’t satisfy? Listen diligently to me, and eat that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in richness.

“For my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the spring of living waters, and cut out cisterns for themselves: broken cisterns that can’t hold water.

Don’t be deceived! “Evil companionships corrupt good morals.”

who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, even as Moses was warned by God when he was about to make the tabernacle, for he said, “See, you shall make everything according to the pattern that was shown to you on the mountain.”

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,

He showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb,

but the innards and the legs he shall wash with water. The priest shall offer the whole, and burn it on the altar. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.

Surely men of low degree are just a breath, and men of high degree are a lie. In the balances they will go up. They are together lighter than a breath.

For the backsliding of the simple will kill them. The careless ease of fools will destroy them.

Behold, you trust in the staff of this bruised reed, even in Egypt, which if a man leans on it, it will go into his hand and pierce it. So is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust in him.

Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened.

Let’s therefore give diligence to enter into that rest, lest anyone fall after the same example of disobedience.

But the righteous will live by faith. If he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him.”

Yahweh smelled the pleasant aroma. Yahweh said in his heart, “I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake because the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth. I will never again strike every living thing, as I have done.

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

They tell God, ‘Depart from us, for we don’t want to know about your ways.

who said to God, ‘Depart from us;’ and, ‘What can the Almighty do for us?’

For I have kept the ways of Yahweh, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

The unfaithful will be repaid for his own ways; likewise a good man will be rewarded for his ways.

At that time they will call Jerusalem ‘Yahweh’s Throne;’ and all the nations will be gathered to it, to Yahweh’s name, to Jerusalem. They will no longer walk after the stubbornness of their evil heart.

You have done evil more than your fathers, for behold, you each walk after the stubbornness of his evil heart, so that you don’t listen to me.

When Yahweh spoke at first by Hosea, Yahweh said to Hosea, “Go, take for yourself a wife of prostitution and children of unfaithfulness; for the land commits great adultery, forsaking Yahweh.”

Jesus answered them, “Be careful that no one leads you astray.

But watch yourselves, for they will deliver you up to councils. You will be beaten in synagogues. You will stand before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them.

True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Don’t be conceited, but fear;

for if God didn’t spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.

For they themselves report concerning us what kind of a reception we had from you, and how you turned to God from idols, to serve a living and true God,

but if I wait long, that you may know how men ought to behave themselves in God’s house, which is the assembly of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
