Psalms 104:22

Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness,

In the dark they dig through houses. They shut themselves up in the daytime. They don’t know the light.

Then the animals take cover, and remain in their dens.

when they crouch in their dens, and lie in wait in the thicket?

“Set up a standard in the land! Blow the trumpet among the nations! Prepare the nations against her! Call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz! Appoint a marshal against her! Cause the horses to come up as the rough canker worm!

and they didn’t know until the flood came, and took them all away, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.

The world can’t hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.

If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.

Beloved, don’t imitate that which is evil, but that which is good. He who does good is of God. He who does evil hasn’t seen God.

The shapes of the locusts were like horses prepared for war. On their heads were something like golden crowns, and their faces were like people’s faces.

She took the pan, and poured them out before him; but he refused to eat. Amnon said, “Have all men leave me.” Then every man went out from him.

She arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me, while your servant slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom.

The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of Yahweh, Micaiah the son of Imlah; but I hate him, for he does not prophesy good concerning me, but evil.” Jehoshaphat said, “Don’t let the king say so.”

I went to the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabel, who was shut in at his home; and he said, “Let us meet together in God’s house, within the temple, and let’s shut the doors of the temple; for they will come to kill you. Yes, in the night they will come to kill you.”

since you hate instruction, and throw my words behind you?

“How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? How long will mockers delight themselves in mockery, and fools hate knowledge?

because they hated knowledge, and didn’t choose the fear of Yahweh.

But the path of the righteous is like the dawning light that shines more and more until the perfect day.

and say, “How I have hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;

There is stern discipline for one who forsakes the way: whoever hates reproof shall die.

A scoffer doesn’t love to be reproved; he will not go to the wise.

One who winks his eyes to plot perversities, one who compresses his lips, is bent on evil.

Why is there money in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom, since he has no understanding?

They hate him who reproves in the gate, and they abhor him who speaks blamelessly.

But Nineveh has been from of old like a pool of water, yet they flee away. “Stop! Stop!” they cry, but no one looks back.

Your guards are like the locusts, and your officials like the swarms of locusts, which settle on the walls on a cold day, but when the sun appears, they flee away, and their place is not known where they are.

But the Pharisees said, “By the prince of the demons, he casts out demons.”

and Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary, his mother, “Behold, this child is set for the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which is spoken against.

One of the lawyers answered him, “Teacher, in saying this you insult us also.”

For everyone who does evil hates the light, and doesn’t come to the light, lest his works would be exposed.

How can you believe, who receive glory from one another, and you don’t seek the glory that comes from the only God?

so that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense to the day of Christ,

Then out of the smoke came locusts on the earth, and power was given to them, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
