Thy testimonies, O LORD, are very sure; holiness becometh thine house forever.

The very heavens declare his righteousness, and all people see his glory.

My soul melteth away for very heaviness; comfort thou me according unto thy word.

I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou of very faithfulness hast caused me to be troubled.

Thy testimonies have I claimed as my heritage forever; and why? They are the very joy of my heart.

Consider my complaint, for I am brought very low. O deliver me from my persecutors, for they are too strong for me.

Riches are an ornament unto the wise; but the ignorance of fools is very foolishness.

A joyful thing it is to a man, when his counsel is followed; and very pleasant is a word spoken in due season.

When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh his very enemies to be his friends.

Yea, a very fool, when he holdeth his tongue, is counted wise; and to have understanding, when he shutteth his lips.

The words of a slanderer are very wounds, and go through unto the inmost parts of the body.

Have not I warned thee very oft with counsel and learning?

Wherefore should ye be plagued any more? For ye are ever falling away. The whole head is sick, and the heart is very heavy.

Then shall his burden be taken from thy shoulders, and his yoke from thy neck, yea the same yoke shall be corrupt for very fatness."

Heshbon and Elealeh cried, that their voice was heard unto Jahaz. The worthies also of Moab bleared and cried for very sorrow of their minds.

We have heard of the pride of Moab: it is well known. He is very proud, presumptuous, arrogant, and full of indignation, and vain are his lies.

But now the LORD sayeth thus: In three years, which shall be as the years of a hired servant, shall the glory of Moab be turned into confusion throughout all his multitude, which is very great. And as for the remnant of them, they shall be small and feeble.

Then said the LORD unto me, "What seest thou Jeremiah?" I said, "Figs, whereof some be very good, and some so evil that no man may eat them."

But if they be true Prophets in very deed, and if the word of the LORD be committed unto them, then let them pray the LORD of Hosts that the remnant of the ornaments, which are in the house of the LORD, and remain yet in the house of the king of Judah and at Jerusalem, be not carried to Babylon also.

Upon this complaint, I thought thus by myself: Is not Ephraim my dear son? Is he not the child, with whom I have had all mirth and pastime?

Upon this was I, Daniel, very faint, so that I lay sick certain days: but when I rose up, I went about the king's business, and marveled at the vision. Nevertheless, no man knew of it.
