Song of Solomon 5:6

We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose.

for whom the Lord loves, he disciplines, and chastises every son whom he receives.”

Yahweh, you are my God. I will exalt you! I will praise your name, for you have done wonderful things, things planned long ago, in complete faithfulness and truth.

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.

You shall consider in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so Yahweh your God disciplines you.

From the end of the earth, I will call to you when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

The Lord said, “Because this people draws near with their mouth and honors me with their lips, but they have removed their heart far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment of men which has been taught;

Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me, to bring me up?” Saul answered, “I am very distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God has departed from me, and answers me no more, by prophets, or by dreams. Therefore I have called you, that you may make known to me what I shall do.”

For his anger is but for a moment. His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning.

He will not always accuse; neither will he stay angry forever.

My dove in the clefts of the rock, in the hiding places of the mountainside, let me see your face. let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet and your face is lovely.

Jesus said to him, “Most certainly I tell you that tonight, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.”

Yahweh said to Moses, “Has Yahweh’s hand grown short? Now you will see whether my word will happen to you or not.”

He shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire for him by the judgment of the Urim before Yahweh. At his word they shall go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he and all the children of Israel with him, even all the congregation.”

the waters which came down from above stood, and rose up in one heap a great way off, at Adam, the city that is beside Zarethan; and those that went down toward the sea of the Arabah, even the Salt Sea, were wholly cut off. Then the people passed over near Jericho.

Saul asked counsel of God, “Shall I go down after the Philistines? Will you deliver them into the hand of Israel?” But he didn’t answer him that day.

David inquired of Yahweh, saying, “If I pursue after this troop, will I overtake them?” He answered him, “Pursue; for you will surely overtake them, and will without fail recover all.”

I cry to you, and you do not answer me. I stand up, and you gaze at me.

I am weary with my groaning. Every night I flood my bed. I drench my couch with my tears.

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.

My God, I cry in the daytime, but you don’t answer; in the night season, and am not silent.

Yahweh, you have brought up my soul from Sheol. You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

You have seen it, Yahweh. Don’t keep silent. Lord, don’t be far from me.

God, don’t keep silent. Don’t keep silent, and don’t be still, God.

I am counted among those who go down into the pit. I am like a man who has no help,

Blessed is the man whom you discipline, Yah, and teach out of your law,

You hide your face; they are troubled. You take away their breath; they die and return to the dust.

He turns rivers into a desert, water springs into a thirsty ground,

My eyes fail for your word. I say, “When will you comfort me?”

Let’s swallow them up alive like Sheol, and whole, like those who go down into the pit.

By night on my bed, I sought him whom my soul loves. I sought him, but I didn’t find him.

How is your beloved better than another beloved, you fairest among women? How is your beloved better than another beloved, that you do so adjure us?

My dove, my perfect one, is unique. She is her mother’s only daughter. She is the favorite one of her who bore her. The daughters saw her, and called her blessed. The queens and the concubines saw her, and they praised her.

I chattered like a swallow or a crane. I moaned like a dove. My eyes weaken looking upward. Lord, I am oppressed. Be my security.”

But now I will not be to the remnant of this people as in the former days,” says Yahweh of Armies.

Jesus said to him, “Most certainly I tell you, that you today, even this night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.”

Your sons and your daughters will be given to another people. Your eyes will look, and fail with longing for them all day long. There will be no power in your hand.

Will you be angry with us forever? Will you draw out your anger to all generations?

My eyes fail looking for your salvation, for your righteous word.

Hurry to answer me, Yahweh. My spirit fails. Don’t hide your face from me, so that I don’t become like those who go down into the pit.

If you don’t know, most beautiful among women, follow the tracks of the sheep. Graze your young goats beside the shepherds’ tents.

He said to them, “Don’t you understand this parable? How will you understand all of the parables?

Jesus answered him, “Will you lay down your life for me? Most certainly I tell you, the rooster won’t crow until you have denied me three times.

But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed ask him who formed it, “Why did you make me like this?”

Then Yahweh’s ransomed ones will return, and come with singing to Zion; and everlasting joy will be on their heads. They will obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing will flee away.”

For Yahweh has comforted Zion. He has comforted all her waste places, and has made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of Yahweh. Joy and gladness will be found in them, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.

“Come! Let’s return to Yahweh; for he has torn us to pieces, and he will heal us; he has injured us, and he will bind up our wounds.

To you, Yahweh, I call. My rock, don’t be deaf to me, lest, if you are silent to me, I would become like those who go down into the pit.

You, Yahweh, when you favored me, made my mountain stand strong; but when you hid your face, I was troubled.

I am weary with my crying. My throat is dry. My eyes fail looking for my God.

I remember God, and I groan. I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed.

Yahweh God of Armies, how long will you be angry against the prayer of your people?

Then they will call on me, but I will not answer. They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me;

My beloved thrust his hand in through the latch opening. My heart pounded for him.

Where has your beloved gone, you fairest among women? Where has your beloved turned, that we may seek him with you?

I will wait for Yahweh, who hides his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.

In that day you will say, “I will give thanks to you, Yahweh; for though you were angry with me, your anger has turned away and you comfort me.

Why, when I came, was there no one? When I called, why was there no one to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it can’t redeem? Or have I no power to deliver? Behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea. I make the rivers a wilderness. Their fish stink because there is no water, and die of thirst.

For I will not contend forever, neither will I always be angry; for the spirit would faint before me, and the souls whom I have made.

Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways. As a nation that did righteousness, and didn’t forsake the ordinance of their God, they ask of me righteous judgments. They delight to draw near to God.

Yes, when I cry, and call for help, he shuts out my prayer.

They will go with their flocks and with their herds to seek Yahweh; but they won’t find him. He has withdrawn himself from them.

I will go and return to my place, until they acknowledge their offense, and seek my face. In their affliction they will seek me earnestly.”

It has come to pass that, as he called, and they refused to listen, so they will call, and I will not listen,” said Yahweh of Armies;

Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said to him, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” Then he went out and wept bitterly.

The rooster crowed the second time. Peter remembered the word, how that Jesus said to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” When he thought about that, he wept.

For you always have the poor with you, but you don’t always have me.”

As many as I love, I reprove and chasten. Be zealous therefore, and repent.
