How Is Any Of Mankind Able To Possess The Truth And Be Righteous?
DWS
what is said.
8 Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down
righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation,
and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created it.
9 Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive
with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that
fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?
10 Woe unto him that saith unto his father, What begettest thou? or
to the woman, What hast thou brought forth?
11 Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me
of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my
hands command ye me.
Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according
unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
2 Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy
sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be
clear when thou judgest.
5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive
me.
6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden
part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be
whiter than snow.
8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast
broken may rejoice.
9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within
me.
11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit
from me.
12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy
free spirit.
13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be
converted unto thee.
6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he
will not depart from it.
7 The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the
lender.
8 He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: and the rod of his anger
shall fail.
9 He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his
bread to the poor.
10 Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and
reproach shall cease.
11 He that loveth pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the
king shall be his friend.
12 The eyes of the LORD preserve knowledge, and he overthroweth the
words of the transgressor.
13 The slothful man saith, There is a lion without, I shall be slain
in the streets.
14 The mouth of strange women is a deep pit: he that is abhorred of
the LORD shall fall therein.
15 Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of
correction shall drive it far from him.
16 He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that
giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want.
17 Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply
thine heart unto my knowledge.
18 For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee; they
shall withal be fitted in thy lips.
19 That thy trust may be in the LORD, I have made known to thee this
day, even to thee.
20 Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and
knowledge,
21 That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth;
that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto
thee?
22 Rob not the poor, because he is poor: neither oppress the
afflicted in the gate:
23 For the LORD will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those
that spoiled them.
30 And when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou do? Though thou clothest
thyself with crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold,
though thou rentest thy face with painting, in vain shalt thou make
thyself fair; thy lovers will despise thee, they will seek thy life.
31 For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, and the anguish
as of her that bringeth forth her first child, the voice of the
daughter of Zion, that bewaileth herself, that spreadeth her hands,
saying, Woe is me now! for my soul is wearied because of murderers.
5:1 Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now,
and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man,
if there be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I
will pardon it.
2 And though they say, The LORD liveth; surely they swear falsely.
3 O LORD, are not thine eyes upon the truth? thou hast stricken them,
but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them, but they have
refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than
a rock; they have refused to return.
4 Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: for they
know not the way of the LORD, nor the judgment of their God.
5 I will get me unto the great men, and will speak unto them; for
they have known the way of the LORD, and the judgment of their God:
but these have altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bonds.
6 Wherefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them, and a wolf of
the evenings shall spoil them, a leopard shall watch over their
cities: every one that goeth out thence shall be torn in pieces:
because their transgressions are many, and their backslidings are
increased.
7 How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me,
and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full,
they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in
the harlots' houses.
3 And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are
not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil
to evil, and they know not me, saith the LORD.
4 Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in any
brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbour
will walk with slanders.
5 And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not speak
the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary
themselves to commit iniquity.
6 Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they
refuse to know me, saith the LORD.
7 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will melt them,
and try them; for how shall I do for the daughter of my people?
8 Their tongue is as an arrow shot out; it speaketh deceit: one
speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in heart he
layeth his wait.
9 Shall I not visit them for these things? saith the LORD: shall not
my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
12 Who is the wise man, that may understand this? and who is he to
whom the mouth of the LORD hath spoken, that he may declare it, for
what the land perisheth and is burned up like a wilderness, that none
passeth through?
13 And the LORD saith, Because they have forsaken my law which I set
before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein;
14 But have walked after the imagination of their own heart, and
after Baalim, which their fathers taught them:
15 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold,
I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water
of gall to drink.
16 I will scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they nor
their fathers have known: and I will send a sword after them, till I
have consumed them.
16 I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the
truth of all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation
of the things.
17 These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall
arise out of the earth.
18 But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and
possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.
19 Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse
from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and
his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the
residue with his feet;
20 And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which
came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes,
and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout
than his fellows.
21 I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and
prevailed against them;
22 Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the
saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed
the kingdom.
28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man,
then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but
as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.
29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone;
for I do always those things that please him.
30 As he spake these words, many believed on him.
31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye
continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
33 They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage
to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever
committeth sin is the servant of sin.
35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son
abideth ever.
36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
37 I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because
my word hath no place in you.
38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that
which ye have seen with your father.
39 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus
saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works
of Abraham.
40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth,
which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not
born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me:
for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but
he sent me.
43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my
word.
44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye
will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the
truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he
speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do
ye not believe me?
47 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not,
because ye are not of God.
3 And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one
born in my house is mine heir.
4 And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This shall
not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own
bowels shall be thine heir.
5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven,
and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto
him, So shall thy seed be.
6 And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for
righteousness.
21 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to
the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
22 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly
departed from my God.
23 For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I
did not depart from them.
24 I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from mine
iniquity.
25 Therefore the LORD hath recompensed me according to my
righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight.
26 With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful, and with the
upright man thou wilt show thyself upright.
27 With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; and with the froward
thou wilt show thyself unsavoury.
28 And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thine eyes are upon
the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down.
29 For thou art my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my
darkness.
30 For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped
over a wall.
31 As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he
is a buckler to all them that trust in him.
32 For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God?
33 God is my strength and power: And he maketh my way perfect.
34 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet: and setteth me upon my high
places.
35 He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by
mine arms.
36 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy
gentleness hath made me great.
37 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not
slip.
38 I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not
again until I had consumed them.
39 And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not
arise: yea, they are fallen under my feet.
40 For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up
against me hast thou subdued under me.
41 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies, that I might
destroy them that hate me.
42 They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but
he answered them not.
43 Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I did
stamp them as the mire of the street, and did spread them abroad.
44 Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people, thou
hast kept me to be head of the heathen: a people which I knew not
shall serve me.
45 Strangers shall submit themselves unto me: as soon as they hear,
they shall be obedient unto me.
46 Strangers shall fade away, and they shall be afraid out of their
close places.
47 The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of
the rock of my salvation.
48 It is God that avengeth me, and that bringeth down the people
under me,
49 And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: thou also hast
lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: thou hast
delivered me from the violent man.
50 Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen,
and I will sing praises unto thy name.
51 He is the tower of salvation for his king: and showeth mercy to
his anointed, unto David, and to his seed for evermore.
23:1 Now these be the last words of David. David the son of Jesse
said, and the man who was raised up on high, the anointed of the God
of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel, said,
2 The spirit of the LORD spake by me, and his word was in my tongue.
3 The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spake to me, He that
ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God.
4 And he shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth,
even a morning without clouds; as the tender grass springing out of
the earth by clear shining after rain.
5 Although my house be not so with God; yet he hath made with me an
everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure: for this is all
my salvation, and all my desire, although he make it not to grow.
6 But the sons of Belial shall be all of them as thorns thrust away,
because they cannot be taken with hands:
7 But the man that shall touch them must be fenced with iron and the
staff of a spear; and they shall be utterly burned with fire in the
same place.
A Psalm of David. I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I
will show forth all thy marvellous works.
2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name,
O thou most High.
3 When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at
thy presence.
4 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the
throne judging right.
5 Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou
hast put out their name for ever and ever.
6 O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou
hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.
7 But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for
judgment.
8 And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister
judgment to the people in uprightness.
9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times
of trouble.
10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for
thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
20 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to
the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly
departed from my God.
22 For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his
statutes from me.
23 I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine
iniquity.
24 Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my
righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
25 With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful; with an upright
man thou wilt show thyself upright;
26 With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; and with the froward
thou wilt show thyself froward.
27 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high
looks.
28 For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my
darkness.
30 A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a
generation.
31 They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people
that shall be born, that he hath done this.
A Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside
the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I
will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they
comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:
thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
24:1 A Psalm of David. The earth is the LORD'S, and the fulness
thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
2 For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the
floods.
3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in
his holy place?
4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up
his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
5 He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from
the God of his salvation.
6 This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O
Jacob. Selah.
7 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting
doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
8 Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD
mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting
doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
10 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of
glory. Selah.
5 He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the
goodness of the LORD.
6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of
them by the breath of his mouth.
7 He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth
up the depth in storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the
world stand in awe of him.
9 For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.
10 The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh
the devices of the people of none effect.
11 The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his
heart to all generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom
he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
13 The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.
14 From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the
inhabitants of the earth.
6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy
judgment as the noonday.
7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself
because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who
bringeth wicked devices to pass.
8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise
to do evil.
9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD,
they shall inherit the earth.
10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou
shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.
11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves
in the abundance of peace.
12 The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with
his teeth.
13 The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.
14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to
cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright
conversation.
15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall
be broken.
16 A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of
many wicked.
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth
the righteous.
18 The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance
shall be for ever.
6 And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge
himself. Selah.
7 Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify
against thee: I am God, even thy God.
8 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings,
to have been continually before me.
9 I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy
folds.
10 For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a
thousand hills.
11 I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the
field are mine.
12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine,
and the fulness thereof.
13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
14 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High:
15 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and
thou shalt glorify me.
16 But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my
statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?
17 Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee.
10 Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have
kissed each other.
11 Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look
down from heaven.
12 Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall
yield her increase.
13 Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of
his steps.
13 Before the LORD: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth:
he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his
truth.
97:1 The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of
isles be glad thereof.
2 Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment
are the habitation of his throne.
3 A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about.
4 His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.
5 The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the
presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6 The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his
glory.
7 Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast
themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods.
8 Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced
because of thy judgments, O LORD.
9 For thou, LORD, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far
above all gods.
10 Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his
saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.
11 Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in
heart.
12 Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the
remembrance of his holiness.
40 Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy
righteousness.
41 VAU. Let thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD, even thy
salvation, according to thy word.
42 So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I
trust in thy word.
43 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have
hoped in thy judgments.
44 So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever.
45 And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts.
46 I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be
ashamed.
47 And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved.
48 My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have
loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes.
142 Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is
the truth.
9 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints
shout for joy.
10 For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of thine
anointed.
11 The LORD hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it;
Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.
12 If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I
shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for
evermore.
13 For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his
habitation.
14 This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired
it.
15 I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor
with bread.
16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints
shall shout aloud for joy.
17 There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp
for mine anointed.
18 His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his
crown flourish.
My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with
thee;
2 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart
to understanding;
3 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for
understanding;
4 If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid
treasures;
5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the
knowledge of God.
6 For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and
understanding.
7 He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to
them that walk uprightly.
8 He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his
saints.
9 Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity;
yea, every good path.
10 When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant
unto thy soul;
11 Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:
12 To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that
speaketh froward things;
13 Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of
darkness;
14 Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the
wicked;
15 Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths:
16 To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger
which flattereth with her words;
17 Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the
covenant of her God.
8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing
froward or perverse in them.
9 They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them
that find knowledge.
10 Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than
choice gold.
11 For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be
desired are not to be compared to it.
12 I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty
inventions.
13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and
the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have
strength.
15 By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.
16 By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.
17 I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find
me.
18 Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and
righteousness.
19 My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue
than choice silver.
20 I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of
judgment:
21 That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I
will fill their treasures.
17 He that speaketh truth showeth forth righteousness: but a false
witness deceit.
18 There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the
tongue of the wise is health.
19 The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue
is but for a moment.
20 Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the
counsellors of peace is joy.
21 There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be
filled with mischief.
22 Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly
are his delight.
23 A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools
proclaimeth foolishness.
24 The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall
be under tribute.
25 Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word
maketh it glad.
26 The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour: but the way of
the wicked seduceth them.
27 The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but
the substance of a diligent man is precious.
28 In the way of righteousness is life; and in the pathway thereof
there is no death.
13:1 A wise son heareth his father's instruction: but a scorner
heareth not rebuke.
2 A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the
transgressors shall eat violence.
3 He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth
wide his lips shall have destruction.
4 The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul
of the diligent shall be made fat.
5 A righteous man hateth lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and
cometh to shame.
6 Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: but
wickedness overthroweth the sinner.
24 Therefore saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of
Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine
enemies:
25 And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy
dross, and take away all thy tin:
26 And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors
as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of
righteousness, the faithful city.
27 Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with
righteousness.
28 And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall
be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed.
10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy
God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold
thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
11 Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed
and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with
thee shall perish.
12 Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that
contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing,
and as a thing of nought.
6 I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine
hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people,
for a light of the Gentiles;
7 To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison,
and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.
8 I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to
another, neither my praise to graven images.
9 Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I
declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.
10 Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the
earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles,
and the inhabitants thereof.
11 Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the
villages that Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock
sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains.
12 Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare his praise in the
islands.
13 The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy
like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail against
his enemies.
14 I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained
myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and
devour at once.
15 I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs;
and I will make the rivers islands, and I will dry up the pools.
16 And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will
lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness
light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do
unto them, and not forsake them.
17 They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that
trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye are our
gods.
18 Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see.
19 Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I
sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the Lord's
servant?
20 Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but
he heareth not.
21 The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will
magnify the law, and make it honourable.
22 But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them
snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a
prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore.
23 Who among you will give ear to this? who will hearken and hear for
the time to come?
6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness:
for they shall be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children
of God.
10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for
theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and
shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in
heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his
savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for
nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill
cannot be hid.
15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a
candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good
works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am
not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or
one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments,
and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of
heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be
called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed
the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case
enter into the kingdom of heaven.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and
all these things shall be added unto you.

In essence, the Bible is **used** by you when is suits...one day it is of
the prophets and the Sons of God and has the Spirit of authority, the next
it is merely the word of man, the many of mankind, with the spirit of no
authority. Just what suits.
A stick on the ocean and hypocrisy are one of the same thing Donald.

You poor foolish simpleton. The scriptures are evidence provided by
others of mankind, which I use for that purpose. Though the word of
the prophets and Sons of God conveyed by scripture may be truth, the
scripture are not the Word of God; the Bible is not the Word of God.
You evil works are coming to an end. Your stupidity in fighting
against God is coming to an end. Your true image has been revealed to
others. The fact you are a liar and deceiver has been proved and
revealed to others. So also the truth of what you are; a false accuser
of the brethren of Christ, the reality of Satan in mankind.
