Judges 21:25

Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this:

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

Trust in Yahweh, and do good. Dwell in the land, and enjoy safe pasture.

Trust in him at all times, you people. Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us.

Behold, God is my salvation. I will trust, and will not be afraid; for Yah, Yahweh, is my strength and song; and he has become my salvation.”

Yahweh, I know that the way of man is not in himself. It is not in man who walks to direct his steps.

Rest in Yahweh, and wait patiently for him. Don’t fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who makes wicked plots happen.

Don’t be wise in your own eyes. Fear Yahweh, and depart from evil.

Yahweh says, “Don’t let the wise man glory in his wisdom. Don’t let the mighty man glory in his might. Don’t let the rich man glory in his riches.

Those who trust in Yahweh are as Mount Zion, which can’t be moved, but remains forever.

Be of the same mind one toward another. Don’t set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Don’t be wise in your own conceits.

Don’t weary yourself to be rich. In your wisdom, show restraint.

Behold, he will kill me. I have no hope. Nevertheless, I will maintain my ways before him.

to the end that we should be to the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Christ.

There is a way which seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.

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

But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.

For if a man thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

For God will bring every work into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether it is good, or whether it is evil.

What fruit then did you have at that time in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.

The border of the children of Dan went out beyond them; for the children of Dan went up and fought against Leshem, and took it, and struck it with the edge of the sword, and possessed it, and lived therein, and called Leshem, Dan, after the name of Dan their forefather.

In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did that which was right in his own eyes.

In those days there was no king in Israel. In those days the tribe of the Danites sought an inheritance to dwell in; for to that day, their inheritance had not fallen to them among the tribes of Israel.

They took that which Micah had made, and the priest whom he had, and came to Laish, to a people quiet and unsuspecting, and struck them with the edge of the sword; then they burned the city with fire.

In those days, when there was no king in Israel, there was a certain Levite living on the farther side of the hill country of Ephraim, who took for himself a concubine out of Bethlehem Judah.

As if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, he took as wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshiped 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.”

Inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once, and after this, judgment,

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

The man departed out of the city, out of Bethlehem Judah, to live where he could find a place, and he came to the hill country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, as he traveled.

When you go, you will come to an unsuspecting people, and the land is large; for God has given it into your hand, a place where there is no lack of anything that is in the earth.”

There was no deliverer, because it was far from Sidon, and they had no dealings with anyone else; and it was in the valley that lies by Beth Rehob. They built the city and lived in it.

if my step has turned out of the way, if my heart walked after my eyes, if any defilement has stuck to my hands,

Don’t be hasty in bringing charges to court. What will you do in the end when your neighbor shames you?

Whatever my eyes desired, I didn’t keep from them. I didn’t withhold my heart from any joy, for my heart rejoiced because of all my labor, and this was my portion from all my labor.

I will tell my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry.” ’

“Strive to enter in by the narrow door, for many, I tell you, will seek to enter in and will not be able.

But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks that he is wise among you in this world, let him become a fool, that he may become wise.

Let no one deceive you with empty words. For because of these things, the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.

for God knows that in the day you eat it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

Pharaoh said, “Who is Yahweh, that I should listen to his voice to let Israel go? I don’t know Yahweh, and moreover I will not let Israel go.”

It shall be to you for a fringe, that you may see it, and remember all Yahweh’s commandments, and do them; and that you don’t follow your own heart and your own eyes, after which you used to play the prostitute;

You shall not do all the things that we do here today, every man whatever is right in his own eyes;

Eleazar the son of Aaron died. They buried him in the hill of Phinehas his son, which was given him in the hill country of Ephraim.

For Yahweh knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.

Fraudulent food is sweet to a man, but afterwards his mouth is filled with gravel.

Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but Yahweh weighs the hearts.

There is a generation that is pure in their own eyes, yet are not washed from their filthiness.

Therefore I saw that there is nothing better than that a man should rejoice in his works; for that is his portion: for who can bring him to see what will be after him?

Generation, consider Yahweh’s word. Have I been a wilderness to Israel? Or a land of thick darkness? Why do my people say, ‘We have broken loose. We will come to you no more?’

Now if you are ready whenever you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music to fall down and worship the image which I have made, good; but if you don’t worship, you shall be cast the same hour into the middle of a burning fiery furnace.

The children of Dan sent five men of their family from their whole number, men of valor, from Zorah and from Eshtaol, to spy out the land and to search it. They said to them, “Go, explore the land!” They came to the hill country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, and lodged there.

Then the five men departed and came to Laish and saw the people who were there, how they lived in safety, in the way of the Sidonians, quiet and secure; for there was no one in the land possessing authority, that might put them to shame in anything, and they were far from the Sidonians, and had no dealings with anyone else.

They passed from there to the hill country of Ephraim, and came to the house of Micah.

who have said, “With our tongue we will prevail. Our lips are our own. Who is lord over us?”

Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding.

There is a way which seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.

Rejoice, young man, in your youth, and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth, and walk in the ways of your heart, and in the sight of your eyes; but know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment.

Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, “Yahweh will deliver us.” Have any of the gods of the nations delivered their lands from the hand of the king of Assyria?

Heal me, O Yahweh, and I will be healed. Save me, and I will be saved; for you are my praise.

But we will certainly perform every word that has gone out of our mouth, to burn incense to the queen of the sky, and to pour out drink offerings to her, as we have done, we and our fathers, our kings and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem; for then had we plenty of food, and were well, and saw no evil.

“ ‘ “In that day messengers will go out from before me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid. There will be anguish on them, as in the day of Egypt; for, behold, it comes.”

You will say, ‘I will go up to the land of unwalled villages. I will go to those who are at rest, who dwell securely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,

“I will send a fire on Magog, and on those who dwell securely in the islands. Then they will know that I am Yahweh.

Woe to those who are at ease in Zion, and to those who are secure on the mountain of Samaria, the notable men of the chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel come!
