Thematic Bible: Consideration


Thematic Bible



Woe to those rising early in the morning, Strong drink they pursue! Tarrying in twilight, wine inflameth them! And harp, and psaltery, tabret, and pipe, And wine, have been their banquets, And the work of Jehovah they behold not, Yea, the work of His hands they have not seen.

For He doth not suffer man any more, To go unto God in judgment, He breaketh the mighty -- no searching! And He appointeth others in their stead. Therefore He knoweth their works, And He hath overturned by night, And they are bruised. read more.
As wicked He hath stricken them, In the place of beholders. Because that against right They have turned aside from after Him, And none of His ways have considered wisely,


may we hold fast the unwavering profession of the hope, (for faithful is He who did promise), and may we consider one another to provoke to love and to good works,


In the transgression of the evil is a snare, And the righteous doth sing and rejoice. The righteous knoweth the plea of the poor, The wicked understandeth not knowledge.


When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, Thou considerest diligently that which is before thee, And thou hast put a knife to thy throat, If thou art a man of appetite. Have no desire to his dainties, seeing it is lying food. read more.
Labour not to make wealth, From thine own understanding cease, Dost thou cause thine eyes to fly upon it? Then it is not. For wealth maketh to itself wings, As an eagle it flieth to the heavens. Eat not the bread of an evil eye, And have no desire to his dainties, For as he hath thought in his soul, so is he, 'Eat and drink,' saith he to thee, And his heart is not with thee. Thy morsel thou hast eaten thou dost vomit up, And hast marred thy words that are sweet.
