When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took some of its fruit, and ate. Then she gave some to her husband with her, and he ate it, too.

Why don’t you understand my speech? Because you can’t hear my word.

But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, for its lusts.

The wise man’s eyes are in his head, and the fool walks in darkness—and yet I perceived that one event happens to them all.

a nation of fierce facial expressions, that doesn’t respect the elderly, nor show favor to the young.

For he sees that wise men die; likewise the fool and the senseless perish, and leave their wealth to others.

for riches are not forever, nor does the crown endure to all generations.

I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and behold, all is vanity and a chasing after wind.

He who walks righteously and speaks blamelessly, he who despises the gain of oppressions, who gestures with his hands, refusing to take a bribe, who stops his ears from hearing of blood, and shuts his eyes from looking at evil—

My soul is laid low in the dust. Revive me according to your word!

Let your eyes look straight ahead. Fix your gaze directly before you.

The heart of the discerning gets knowledge. The ear of the wise seeks knowledge.

Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied; and a man’s eyes are never satisfied.

Evil men don’t understand justice; but those who seek Yahweh understand it fully.

There is a vanity which is done on the earth, that there are righteous men to whom it happens according to the work of the wicked. Again, there are wicked men to whom it happens according to the work of the righteous. I said that this also is vanity.

When the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

When he went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a Sabbath to eat bread, they were watching him.

When they saw it, they all murmured, saying, “He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner.”

We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God, and does his will, he listens to him.

For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the things that you desire.

I returned and saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happen to them all.

Many will purify themselves, and make themselves white, and be refined; but the wicked will do wickedly; and none of the wicked will understand; but those who are wise will understand.

They will wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east; they will run back and forth to seek Yahweh’s word, and will not find it.

Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

Let each one of us please his neighbor for that which is good, to be building him up.

Now the natural man doesn’t receive the things of God’s Spirit, for they are foolishness to him, and he can’t know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, think this way. If in anything you think otherwise, God will also reveal that to you.

Charge those who are rich in this present world that they not be arrogant, nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on the living God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy;

Beloved, I beg you as foreigners and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

having eyes full of adultery, and who can’t cease from sin; enticing unsettled souls; having a heart trained in greed; children of cursing;

For, uttering great swelling words of emptiness, they entice in the lusts of the flesh, by licentiousness, those who are indeed escaping from those who live in error;

But he who hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and doesn’t know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

Open my eyes, that I may see wondrous things out of your law.

They are all plain to him who understands, right to those who find knowledge.

A scoffer seeks wisdom, and doesn’t find it, but knowledge comes easily to a discerning person.

The heart of one who has understanding seeks knowledge, but the mouths of fools feed on folly.

Why do you set your eyes on that which is not? For it certainly sprouts wings like an eagle and flies in the sky.

Wisdom is too high for a fool. He doesn’t open his mouth in the gate.

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

Remove far from me falsehood and lies. Give me neither poverty nor riches. Feed me with the food that is needful for me,

Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire. This also is vanity and a chasing after wind.

Who is like the wise man? And who knows the interpretation of a thing? A man’s wisdom makes his face shine, and the hardness of his face is changed.

Whoever keeps the commandment shall not come to harm, and his wise heart will know the time and procedure.

“Vanity of vanities,” says the Preacher. “All is vanity!”

The wise men are disappointed. They are dismayed and trapped. Behold, they have rejected Yahweh’s word. What kind of wisdom is in them?

The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is justified by her children.”

If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God, or if I am speaking from myself.

But if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he doesn’t yet know as he ought to know.

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, isn’t the Father’s, but is the world’s.

Turn my eyes away from looking at worthless things. Revive me in your ways.
