That is the thing which I have spoken to Pharaoh. God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do.

and lest you say in your heart, “My power and the might of my hand has gotten me this wealth.”

We also all once lived among them in the lusts of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.

By faith, Noah, being warned about things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared a ship for the saving of his house, through which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.

As it was in the days of Noah, even so will it be also in the days of the Son of Man.

After these things I looked and saw a door opened in heaven, and the first voice that I heard, like a trumpet speaking with me, was one saying, “Come up here, and I will show you the things which must happen after this.”

He named him Noah, saying, “This one will comfort us in our work and in the toil of our hands, caused by the ground which Yahweh has cursed.”

But Noah found favor in Yahweh’s eyes.

God saw the earth, and saw that it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.

But I will establish my covenant with you. You shall come into the ship, you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you.

In the same day Noah, and Shem, Ham, and Japheth—the sons of Noah—and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered into the ship—

He dreamed yet another dream, and told it to his brothers, and said, “Behold, I have dreamed yet another dream: and behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars bowed down to me.”

Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, “It isn’t in me. God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.”

Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dream of Pharaoh is one. What God is about to do he has declared to Pharaoh.

Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Because God has shown you all of this, there is no one so discreet and wise as you.

For this time I will send all my plagues against your heart, against your officials, and against your people; that you may know that there is no one like me in all the earth.

“I will heap evils on them. I will spend my arrows on them.

I will make my arrows drunk with blood. My sword shall devour flesh with the blood of the slain and the captives, from the head of the leaders of the enemy.”

Yahweh said to Joshua, “Don’t be afraid because of them; for tomorrow at this time, I will deliver them up all slain before Israel. You shall hamstring their horses and burn their chariots with fire.”

A certain man drew his bow at random, and struck the king of Israel between the joints of the armor. Therefore he said to the driver of his chariot, “Turn your hand, and carry me out of the battle; for I am severely wounded.”

Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

For the arrows of the Almighty are within me. My spirit drinks up their poison. The terrors of God set themselves in array against me.

His archers surround me. He splits my kidneys apart, and does not spare. He pours out my bile on the ground.

He has also prepared for himself the instruments of death. He makes ready his flaming arrows.

but have lifted up yourself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before you, and you and your lords, your wives, and your concubines, have drunk wine from them. You have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which don’t see, or hear, or know; and you have not glorified the God in whose hand your breath is, and whose are all your ways.

What then? Are we better than they? No, in no way. For we previously warned both Jews and Greeks that they are all under sin.

Where then is the boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.

For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not toward God.

For I say through the grace that was given me, to every man who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think reasonably, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith.

Who then is Apollos, and who is Paul, but servants through whom you believed, and each as the Lord gave to him?

Your boasting is not good. Don’t you know that a little yeast leavens the whole lump?
