To whom shall I speak and give warning
That they may hear?
Behold, their ears are closed
And they cannot listen.
Behold, the word of the Lord has become a reproach to them;
They have no delight in it.

My counsellers

Mem.
O how I love Your law!
It is my meditation all the day.

Moreover, by them Your servant is warned;
In keeping them there is great reward.

“Now it shall come about when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, he shall write for himself a copy of this law on a scroll

in the presence of the Levitical priests.

This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have success.

My son, observe the commandment of your father

And do not forsake the teaching of your mother;

To the

law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because they have no dawn.

Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

and that from childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
