Psalms 90:12

Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it is the wellspring of life.

“Yahweh, show me my end, what is the measure of my days. Let me know how frail I am.

Jesus therefore said to them, “Yet a little while the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, that darkness doesn’t overtake you. He who walks in the darkness doesn’t know where he is going.

And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men,

Therefore watch carefully how you walk, not as unwise, but as wise,

redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of knowledge; but the foolish despise wisdom and instruction.

Oh that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!

The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom. All those who do his work have a good understanding. His praise endures forever!

My son, don’t forget my teaching; but let your heart keep my commandments:

So then, as we have opportunity, let’s do what is good toward all men, and especially toward those who are of the household of the faith.

The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom. The knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work.

Jesus answered, “Aren’t there twelve hours of daylight? If a man walks in the day, he doesn’t stumble, because he sees the light of this world.

not lagging in diligence; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;

My son, pay attention to my wisdom. Turn your ear to my understanding,

The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but he who is wise listens to counsel.

This is the end of the matter. All has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man.

I must work the works of him who sent me while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work.

For this cause, we also, since the day we heard this, don’t cease praying and making requests for you, that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,

Oh that there were such a heart in them that they would fear me and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them and with their children forever!

“Isn’t a man forced to labor on earth? Aren’t his days like the days of a hired hand?

Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months is with you, and you have appointed his bounds that he can’t pass;

It can’t be gotten for gold, neither will silver be weighed for its price.

For in death there is no memory of you. In Sheol, who shall give you thanks?

Don’t be wise in your own eyes. Fear Yahweh, and depart from evil.

My fruit is better than gold, yes, than fine gold, my yield than choice silver.

By mercy and truth iniquity is atoned for. By the fear of Yahweh men depart from evil.

Oh that you had listened to my commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river and your righteousness like the waves of the sea.

He said to them, “To you is given the mystery of God’s Kingdom, but to those who are outside, all things are done in parables,

I glorified you on the earth. I have accomplished the work which you have given me to do.

Therefore don’t be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

Moreover he must have good testimony from those who are outside, to avoid falling into reproach and the snare of the devil.

Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, “Today if you will hear his voice,

Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his good conduct that his deeds are done in gentleness of wisdom.

Give your servant therefore an understanding heart to judge your people, that I may discern between good and evil; for who is able to judge this great people of yours?”

Oh that my people would listen to me, that Israel would walk in my ways!

Wisdom is supreme. Get wisdom. Yes, though it costs all your possessions, get understanding.

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

It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting; for that is the end of all men, and the living should take this to heart.

for we can’t help telling the things which we saw and heard.”

Do this, knowing the time, that it is already time for you to awaken out of sleep, for salvation is now nearer to us than when we first believed.

Therefore I love your commandments more than gold, yes, more than pure gold.

My son, keep my words. Lay up my commandments within you.

How many are the days of your servant? When will you execute judgment on those who persecute me?

Get wisdom. Get understanding. Don’t forget, and don’t deviate from the words of my mouth.

My son, attend to my words. Turn your ear to my sayings.

How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! Yes, to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.

Listen to counsel and receive instruction, that you may be wise in your latter end.

Turn your ear, and listen to the words of the wise. Apply your heart to my teaching.

Apply your heart to instruction, and your ears to the words of knowledge.

It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
