Proverbs 28:18

For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.

But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.

But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.

Only be careful, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things which your eyes saw, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life; but make them known to your children and your children’s children—

but those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint.

Yahweh is my shepherd: I shall lack nothing.

Yahweh is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? Yahweh is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?

Yes, Yahweh will give that which is good. Our land will yield its increase.

My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and repent and do the first works; or else I am coming to you swiftly, and will move your lamp stand out of its place, unless you repent.

The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger, but those who seek Yahweh shall not lack any good thing.

Therefore putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor. For we are members of one another.

The city has no need for the sun or moon to shine, for the very glory of God illuminated it, and its lamp is the Lamb.

Therefore his calamity will come suddenly. He will be broken suddenly, and that without remedy.

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fervent heat, and the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.

After these things Yahweh’s word came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Don’t be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.”

If one man sins against another, God will judge him; but if a man sins against Yahweh, who will intercede for him?” Notwithstanding, they didn’t listen to the voice of their father, because Yahweh intended to kill them.

You are my hiding place and my shield. I hope in your word.

Yes, may you see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel.

who are crooked in their ways, and wayward in their paths,

A man shall not be established by wickedness, but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.

Better is the poor who walks in his integrity than he who is perverse in his lips and is a fool.

Solomon said, “You have shown to your servant David my father great loving kindness, because he walked before you in truth, in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with you. You have kept for him this great loving kindness, that you have given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is today.

When Solomon was old, his wives turned away his heart after other gods; and his heart was not perfect with Yahweh his God, as the heart of David his father was.

Solomon did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, and didn’t go fully after Yahweh, as David his father did.

because David did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes, and didn’t turn away from anything that he commanded him all the days of his life, except only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.

Nevertheless Haman restrained himself, and went home. There, he sent and called for his friends and Zeresh his wife.

A sound of terrors is in his ears. In prosperity the destroyer will come on him.

My foot has held fast to his steps. I have kept his way, and not turned away.

he who doesn’t lend out his money for usury, nor take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be shaken.

Let destruction come on him unawares. Let his net that he has hidden catch himself. Let him fall into that destruction.

Blessed is the man who makes Yahweh his trust, and doesn’t respect the proud, nor such as turn away to lies.

As for me, you uphold me in my integrity, and set me in your presence forever.

So he was their shepherd according to the integrity of his heart, and guided them by the skillfulness of his hands.

Blessed are those who keep justice. Blessed is one who does what is right at all times.

Then you shall walk in your way securely. Your foot won’t stumble.

He who walks blamelessly walks surely, but he who perverts his ways will be found out.

for a righteous man falls seven times and rises up again; but the wicked are overthrown by calamity.

These are the things that you shall do: speak every man the truth with his neighbor. Execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates,

But all these things are the beginning of birth pains.

Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.”

I don’t speak concerning all of you. I know whom I have chosen. But that the Scripture may be fulfilled, ‘He who eats bread with me has lifted up his heel against me.’

He said to them, “You yourselves know how it is an unlawful thing for a man who is a Jew to join himself or come to one of another nation, but God has shown me that I shouldn’t call any man unholy or unclean.

The way of peace, they haven’t known.”

He who didn’t spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things?

to whom we gave no place in the way of subjection, not for an hour, that the truth of the Good News might continue with you.

Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns, he will sweep away the green and the burning alike.

Draw near to my soul and redeem it. Ransom me because of my enemies.

I will be careful to live a blameless life. When will you come to me? I will walk within my house with a blameless heart.

Do good, Yahweh, to those who are good, to those who are upright in their hearts.

He lays up sound wisdom for the upright. He is a shield to those who walk in integrity,

Discretion will watch over you. Understanding will keep you,

He who walks in his uprightness fears Yahweh, but he who is perverse in his ways despises him.

The wisdom of the prudent is to think about his way, but the folly of fools is deceit.

A righteous man walks in integrity. Blessed are his children after him.

Better is the poor who walks in his integrity, than he who is perverse in his ways, and he is rich.

Your sun will not go down any more, nor will your moon withdraw itself; for Yahweh will be your everlasting light, and the days of your mourning will end.

For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise. I will bring the discernment of the discerning to nothing.”

For our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory,

in whom all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden.

As for you, if you will walk before me, as David your father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded you, and will keep my statutes and my ordinances;

Haman recounted to Zeresh his wife and all his friends everything that had happened to him. Then his wise men and Zeresh his wife said to him, “If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is of Jewish descent, you will not prevail against him, but you will surely fall before him.”

He who is often rebuked and stiffens his neck will be destroyed suddenly, with no remedy.

But he who hears, and doesn’t do, is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream broke, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great.”

Yahweh’s angel said to him, “Why have you struck your donkey these three times? Behold, I have come out as an adversary, because your way is perverse before me.

My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.

Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for you.

But as for me, I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me, and be merciful to me.

But as for those who turn away to their crooked ways, Yahweh will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be on Israel.

When the whirlwind passes, the wicked is no more; but the righteous stand firm forever.

But when I saw that they didn’t walk uprightly according to the truth of the Good News, I said to Peter before them all, “If you, being a Jew, live as the Gentiles do, and not as the Jews do, why do you compel the Gentiles to live as the Jews do?

For when they are saying, “Peace and safety,” then sudden destruction will come on them, like birth pains on a pregnant woman. Then they will in no way escape.
