Psalms 139:4

This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it; for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.

Set a watch, Yahweh, before my mouth. Keep the door of my lips.

Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service.

For we all stumble in many things. Anyone who doesn’t stumble in word is a perfect person, able to bridle the whole body also.

Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear.

For, “He who would love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit.

Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking lies.

Let my meditation be sweet to him. I will rejoice in Yahweh.

Therefore Job opens his mouth with empty talk, and he multiplies words without knowledge.”

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

Many, Yahweh, my God, are the wonderful works which you have done, and your thoughts which are toward us. They can’t be declared back to you. If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be counted.

Yahweh, my heart isn’t arrogant, nor my eyes lofty; nor do I concern myself with great matters, or things too wonderful for me.

This knowledge is beyond me. It’s lofty. I can’t attain it.

“Moab has been at ease from his youth, and he has settled on his lees, and has not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither has he gone into captivity: therefore his taste remains in him, and his scent is not changed.

You count my wanderings. You put my tears into your container. Aren’t they in your book?

Put away from yourself a perverse mouth. Put corrupt lips far from you.

It is better that you should not vow, than that you should vow and not pay.

In the prophets of Jerusalem I have also seen a horrible thing: they commit adultery and walk in lies. They strengthen the hands of evildoers, so that no one returns from his wickedness. They have all become to me as Sodom, and its inhabitants as Gomorrah.”

Then he said to me, “Son of man, have you seen what the elders of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in his rooms of imagery? For they say, ‘Yahweh doesn’t see us. Yahweh has forsaken the land.’ ”

Woe to those who are at ease in Zion, and to those who are secure on the mountain of Samaria, the notable men of the chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel come!

desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say, nor about what they strongly affirm.

But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.

If you afflict my daughters, or if you take wives in addition to my daughters, no man is with us; behold, God is witness between me and you.”

Do you intend to reprove words, since the speeches of one who is desperate are as wind?

Break the arm of the wicked. As for the evil man, seek out his wickedness until you find none.

Lord, open my lips. My mouth will declare your praise.

The mouth of the righteous produces wisdom, but the perverse tongue will be cut off.

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

Don’t be afraid, you worm Jacob, and you men of Israel. I will help you,” says Yahweh. “Your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.

The prophet who has a dream, let him tell a dream; and he who has my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the straw to the wheat?” says Yahweh.

Behold, I am against those who prophesy lying dreams,” says Yahweh, “who tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their vain boasting; yet I didn’t send them or command them. They don’t profit this people at all,” says Yahweh.

For Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel says: “Don’t let your prophets who are among you and your diviners deceive you. Don’t listen to your dreams which you cause to be dreamed.

Then he said to me, “The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perversion; for they say, ‘Yahweh has forsaken the land, and Yahweh doesn’t see.’

“It will happen afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Your old men will dream dreams. Your young men will see visions.

I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against the perjurers, and against those who oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and who deprive the foreigner of justice, and don’t fear me,” says Yahweh of Armies.

But to you who fear my name shall the sun of righteousness arise with healing in its wings. You will go out, and leap like calves of the stall.

Be careful therefore how you hear. For whoever has, to him will be given; and whoever doesn’t have, from him will be taken away even that which he thinks he has.”

But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back part of the price of the land?

Don’t be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not appropriate, but rather giving of thanks.

Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.

There is no creature that is hidden from his sight, but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him to whom we must give an account.

I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and they opened books. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works.

“If anyone sins, and commits a trespass against Yahweh, and deals falsely with his neighbor in a matter of deposit, or of bargain, or of robbery, or has oppressed his neighbor,

He said, “Now hear my words. If there is a prophet among you, I, Yahweh, will make myself known to him in a vision. I will speak with him in a dream.

Be careful, lest your heart be deceived, and you turn away to serve other gods and worship them;

The elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, “Yahweh will be witness between us. Surely we will do what you say.”

He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before Yahweh.” Behold, Yahweh passed by, and a great and strong wind tore the mountains, and broke in pieces the rocks before Yahweh; but Yahweh was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake; but Yahweh was not in the earthquake.

On that night, the king couldn’t sleep. He commanded the book of records of the chronicles to be brought, and they were read to the king.

“How long will you speak these things? Shall the words of your mouth be a mighty wind?

“Should a wise man answer with vain knowledge, and fill himself with the east wind?

But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives. In the end, he will stand upon the earth.

‘Job speaks without knowledge. His words are without wisdom.’

Give ear to my words, Yahweh. Consider my meditation.

Yahweh is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.

Yahweh is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices. With my song I will thank him.

They say, “Yah will not see, neither will Jacob’s God consider.”

Your eyes saw my body. In your book they were all written, the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there were none of them.

For the ways of man are before Yahweh’s eyes. He examines all his paths.

In the multitude of words there is no lack of disobedience, but he who restrains his lips does wisely.

He who guards his mouth guards his soul. One who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.

The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but the mouth of fools gush out folly.

Whoever guards his mouth and his tongue keeps his soul from troubles.

“There are three things which are too amazing for me, four which I don’t understand:

The prophets will become wind, and the word is not in them. Thus it will be done to them.”

I listened and heard, but they didn’t say what is right. No one repents of his wickedness, saying, “What have I done?” Everyone turns to his course, as a horse that rushes headlong in the battle.

For my eyes are on all their ways. They are not hidden from my face. Their iniquity isn’t concealed from my eyes.

Then the prophet Jeremiah said to Hananiah the prophet, “Listen, Hananiah! Yahweh has not sent you, but you make this people trust in a lie.

Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says concerning Ahab the son of Kolaiah, and concerning Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah, who prophesy a lie to you in my name: “Behold, I will deliver them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and he will kill them before your eyes.

Yahweh said to him, “Go through the middle of the city, through the middle of Jerusalem, and set a mark on the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry over all the abominations that are done within it.”

You have magnified yourselves against me with your mouth, and have multiplied your words against me. I have heard it.”

You have wearied Yahweh with your words. Yet you say, ‘How have we wearied him?’ In that you say, ‘Everyone who does evil is good in Yahweh’s sight, and he delights in them;’ or ‘Where is the God of justice?’

You have said, ‘It is vain to serve God;’ and ‘What profit is it that we have followed his instructions, and that we have walked mournfully before Yahweh of Armies?

Being let go, they came to their own company and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them.

He, fastening his eyes on him, and being frightened, said, “What is it, Lord?” He said to him, “Your prayers and your gifts to the needy have gone up for a memorial before God.

Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each man will get his praise from God.

For if a man thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

Therefore, receiving a Kingdom that can’t be shaken, let’s have grace, through which we serve God acceptably, with reverence and awe,

So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;

Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, ‘They are entangled in the land. The wilderness has shut them in.’

I will teach you about the hand of God. I will not conceal that which is with the Almighty.

Will it be told him that I would speak? Or should a man wish that he were swallowed up?

You asked, ‘Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?’ therefore I have uttered that which I didn’t understand, things too wonderful for me, which I didn’t know.

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, Yahweh, my rock, and my redeemer.

“I have heard what the prophets have said, who prophesy lies in my name, saying, ‘I had a dream! I had a dream!’

because they have done foolish things in Israel, and have committed adultery with their neighbors’ wives, and have spoken words in my name falsely, which I didn’t command them. I am he who knows, and am witness,” says Yahweh.

It will happen at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with lamps, and I will punish the men who are settled on their dregs, who say in their heart, “Yahweh will not do good, neither will he do evil.”

Then those who feared Yahweh spoke one with another; and Yahweh listened, and heard, and a book of memory was written before him, for those who feared Yahweh, and who honored his name.

While you kept it, didn’t it remain your own? After it was sold, wasn’t it in your power? How is it that you have conceived this thing in your heart? You haven’t lied to men, but to God.”

If anyone among you thinks himself to be religious while he doesn’t bridle his tongue, but deceives his heart, this man’s religion is worthless.

“Who is this who darkens counsel by words without knowledge?
