Only fear Yahweh, and serve him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things he has done for you.

My son, don’t despise Yahweh’s discipline, neither be weary of his correction;

If you falter in the time of trouble, your strength is small.

The Lord Yahweh has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with words him who is weary. He awakens morning by morning, he awakens my ear to hear as those who are taught.

Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways. As a nation that did righteousness, and didn’t forsake the ordinance of their God, they ask of me righteous judgments. They delight to draw near to God.

He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Couldn’t you watch one hour?

of the teaching of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

Deliver my soul, Yahweh, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.

Don’t speak in the ears of a fool, for he will despise the wisdom of your words.

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

Yahweh, you have persuaded me, and I was persuaded. You are stronger than I, and have prevailed. I have become a laughingstock all day. Everyone mocks me.

For you have dealt deceitfully against your own souls; for you sent me to Yahweh your God, saying, ‘Pray for us to Yahweh our God; and according to all that Yahweh our God says, so declare to us, and we will do it.’

Then I said, “Ah Lord Yahweh! They say of me, ‘Isn’t he a speaker of parables?’ ”

“When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Yahweh. My prayer came in to you, into your holy temple.

Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how they might entrap him in his talk.

They sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you are honest, and teach the way of God in truth, no matter whom you teach, for you aren’t partial to anyone.
