  • Luke 19
    And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.
    And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.
    And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.
    And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.
    And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.
    And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
    And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
    And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.
    And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
    For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
    And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.
    He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
    And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.
    But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.
    And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.
    Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
    And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.
    And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
    And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.
    And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:
    For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.
    And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:
    Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?
    And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.
    (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)
    For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.
    But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
    And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.
    And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
    Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither.
    And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.
    And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them.
    And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?
    And they said, The Lord hath need of him.
    And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.
    And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.
    And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of

  • Proverbs 5
    My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding:
    That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.
    For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:
    But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.
    Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.
    Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.
    Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
    Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:
    Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:
    Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;
    And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,
    And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;
    And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!
    I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.
    Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.
    Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets.
    Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee.
    Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.
    Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.
    And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
    For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings.
    His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.
    He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.

  • Numbers 8,9
    And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
    Speak unto Aaron and say unto him, When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light over against the candlestick.
    And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps thereof over against the candlestick, as the LORD commanded Moses.
    And this work of the candlestick was of beaten gold, unto the shaft thereof, unto the flowers thereof, was beaten work: according unto the pattern which the LORD had shewed Moses, so he made the candlestick.
    And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
    Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.
    And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse them: Sprinkle water of purifying upon them, and let them shave all their flesh, and let them wash their clothes, and so make themselves clean.
    Then let them take a young bullock with his meat offering, even fine flour mingled with oil, and another young bullock shalt thou take for a sin offering.
    And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt gather the whole assembly of the children of Israel together:
    And thou shalt bring the Levites before the LORD: and the children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites:
    And Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD for an offering of the children of Israel, that they may execute the service of the LORD.
    And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bullocks: and thou shalt offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, unto the LORD, to make an atonement for the Levites.
    And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them for an offering unto the LORD.
    Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children of Israel: and the Levites shall be mine.
    And after that shall the Levites go in to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt cleanse them, and offer them for an offering.
    For they are wholly given unto me from among the children of Israel; instead of such as open every womb, even instead of the firstborn of all the children of Israel, have I taken them unto me.
    For all the firstborn of the children of Israel are mine, both man and beast: on the day that I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for myself.
    And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the children of Israel.
    And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons from among the children of Israel, to do the service of the children of Israel in the tabernacle of the congregation, and to make an atonement for the children of Israel: that there be no plague among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel come nigh unto the sanctuary.
    And Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel, did to the Levites according unto all that the LORD commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did the children of Israel unto them.
    And the Levites were purified, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron offered them as an offering before the LORD; and Aaron made an atonement for them to cleanse them.
    And after that went the Levites in to do their service in the tabernacle of the congregation before Aaron, and before his sons: as the LORD had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they unto them.
    And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
    This is it that belongeth unto the Levites: from twenty and five years old and upward they shall go in to wait upon the service of the tabernacle of the congregation:
    And from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting upon the service thereof, and shall serve no more:
    But shall minister with their brethren in the tabernacle of the congregation, to keep the charge, and shall do no service. Thus shalt thou do unto the Levites touching their charge.
    And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying,

  • Luke 18
    And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
    Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:
    And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
    And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
    Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
    And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
    And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
    I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
    And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
    Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
    The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
    I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
    And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
    I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
    And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
    But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
    Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
    And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
    And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.
    Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.
    And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.
    Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
    And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.
    And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
    For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
    And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?
    And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
    Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.
    And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,
    Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.
    Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
    For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:
    And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.
    And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.
    And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:
    And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.
    And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.

  • Numbers 7
    And it came to pass on the day that Moses had fully set up the tabernacle, and had anointed it, and sanctified it, and all the instruments thereof, both the altar and all the vessels thereof, and had anointed them, and sanctified them;
    That the princes of Israel, heads of the house of their fathers, who were the princes of the tribes, and were over them that were numbered, offered:
    And they brought their offering before the LORD, six covered wagons, and twelve oxen; a wagon for two of the princes, and for each one an ox: and they brought them before the tabernacle.
    And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
    Take it of them, that they may be to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; and thou shalt give them unto the Levites, to every man according to his service.
    And Moses took the wagons and the oxen, and gave them unto the Levites.
    Two wagons and four oxen he gave unto the sons of Gershon, according to their service:
    And four wagons and eight oxen he gave unto the sons of Merari, according unto their service, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
    But unto the sons of Kohath he gave none: because the service of the sanctuary belonging unto them was that they should bear upon their shoulders.
    And the princes offered for dedicating of the altar in the day that it was anointed, even the princes offered their offering before the altar.
    And the LORD said unto Moses, They shall offer their offering, each prince on his day, for the dedicating of the altar.
    And he that offered his offering the first day was Nahshon the son of Amminadab, of the tribe of Judah:
    And his offering was one silver charger, the weight thereof was an hundred and thirty shekels, one silver bowl of seventy shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary; both of them were full of fine flour mingled with oil for a meat offering:
    One spoon of ten shekels of gold, full of incense:
    One young bullock, one ram, one lamb of the first year, for a burnt offering:
    One kid of the goats for a sin offering:
    And for a sacrifice of peace offerings, two oxen, five rams, five he goats, five lambs of the first year: this was the offering of Nahshon the son of Amminadab.
    On the second day Nethaneel the son of Zuar, prince of Issachar, did offer:
    He offered for his offering one silver charger, the weight whereof was an hundred and thirty shekels, one silver bowl of seventy shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary; both of them full of fine flour mingled with oil for a meat offering:
    One spoon of gold of ten shekels, full of incense:
    One young bullock, one ram, one lamb of the first year, for a burnt offering:
    One kid of the goats for a sin offering:
    And for a sacrifice of peace offerings, two oxen, five rams, five he goats, five lambs of the first year: this was the offering of Nethaneel the son of Zuar.
    On the third day Eliab the son of Helon, prince of the children of Zebulun, did offer:
    His offering was one silver charger, the weight whereof was an hundred and thirty shekels, one silver bowl of seventy shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary; both of them full of fine flour mingled with oil for a meat offering:
    One golden spoon of ten shekels, full of incense:
    One young bullock, one ram, one lamb of the first year, for a burnt offering:
    One kid of the goats for a sin offering:
    And for a sacrifice of peace offerings, two oxen, five rams, five he goats, five lambs of the first year: this was the offering of Eliab the son of Helon.
    On the fourth day Elizur the son of Shedeur, prince of the children of Reuben, did offer:
    His offering was one silver charger of the weight of an hundred and thirty shekels, one silver bowl of seventy shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary; both of them full of fine flour mingled with oil for a meat offering:
    One golden spoon of ten shekels, full of incense:

  • Proverbs 4
    Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.
    For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.
    For I was my father's son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.
    He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.
    Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.
    Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.
    Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
    Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.
    She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.
    Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many.
    I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths.
    When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.
    Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life.
    Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.
    Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.
    For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.
    For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.
    But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
    The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.
    My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.
    Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.
    For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
    Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
    Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.
    Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.
    Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.
    Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.

  • Proverbs 3
    My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
    For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
    Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
    So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
    Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
    In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
    Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
    It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
    Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
    So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
    My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:
    For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
    Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
    For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
    She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
    Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.
    Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
    She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.
    The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.
    By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.
    My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
    So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
    Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.
    When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
    Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.
    For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.
    Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.
    Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.
    Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.
    Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.
    Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.
    For the froward is abomination to the LORD: but his secret is with the righteous.
    The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.
    Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.
    The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.

  • Numbers 6
    And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
    Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When either man or woman shall separate themselves to vow a vow of a Nazarite, to separate themselves unto the LORD:
    He shall separate himself from wine and strong drink, and shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat moist grapes, or dried.
    All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the vine tree, from the kernels even to the husk.
    All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no razor come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in the which he separateth himself unto the LORD, he shall be holy, and shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow.
    All the days that he separateth himself unto the LORD he shall come at no dead body.
    He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when they die: because the consecration of his God is upon his head.
    All the days of his separation he is holy unto the LORD.
    And if any man die very suddenly by him, and he hath defiled the head of his consecration; then he shall shave his head in the day of his cleansing, on the seventh day shall he shave it.
    And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtles, or two young pigeons, to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:
    And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, and make an atonement for him, for that he sinned by the dead, and shall hallow his head that same day.
    And he shall consecrate unto the LORD the days of his separation, and shall bring a lamb of the first year for a trespass offering: but the days that were before shall be lost, because his separation was defiled.
    And this is the law of the Nazarite, when the days of his separation are fulfilled: he shall be brought unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:
    And he shall offer his offering unto the LORD, one he lamb of the first year without blemish for a burnt offering, and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish for a sin offering, and one ram without blemish for peace offerings,
    And a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, and wafers of unleavened bread anointed with oil, and their meat offering, and their drink offerings.
    And the priest shall bring them before the LORD, and shall offer his sin offering, and his burnt offering:
    And he shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, with the basket of unleavened bread: the priest shall offer also his meat offering, and his drink offering.
    And the Nazarite shall shave the head of his separation at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall take the hair of the head of his separation, and put it in the fire which is under the sacrifice of the peace offerings.
    And the priest shall take the sodden shoulder of the ram, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and shall put them upon the hands of the Nazarite, after the hair of his separation is shaven:
    And the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the LORD: this is holy for the priest, with the wave breast and heave shoulder: and after that the Nazarite may drink wine.
    This is the law of the Nazarite who hath vowed, and of his offering unto the LORD for his separation, beside that that his hand shall get: according to the vow which he vowed, so he must do after the law of his separation.
    And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
    Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them,
    The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:
    The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
    The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
    And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel, and I will bless them.

    Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!
    It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.
    Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
    And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.
    And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.
    And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.
    But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?
    And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?
    Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.
    So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.
    And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
    And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:
    And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
    And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.
    And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,
    And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
    And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?
    There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.
    And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.
    And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
    Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
    And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.
    And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.
    For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.

    They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
    Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
    But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
    Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
    In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
    Remember Lot's wife.

  • Proverbs 2
    My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;
    So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;
    Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
    If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;
    Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.
    For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
    He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
    He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.
    Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.
    When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;
    Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:
    To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;
    Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;
    Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked;
    Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths:
    To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;
    Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.
    For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.
    None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.
    That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.
    For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.
    But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.
