Your way, God, is in the sanctuary. What god is great like God?

I will hear what God, Yahweh, will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, his saints; but let them not turn again to folly.

I will not break my covenant, nor alter what my lips have uttered.

Remember how short my time is! For what vanity have you created all the children of men!

What man is he who shall live and not see death, who shall deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah.

What was it, you sea, that you fled? You Jordan, that you turned back?

What will I give to Yahweh for all his benefits toward me?

Yahweh is on my side. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

I have done what is just and righteous. Don't leave me to my oppressors.

What will be given to you, and what will be done more to you, you deceitful tongue?

Yahweh, what is man, that you care for him? Or the son of man, that you think of him?

The way of the wicked is like darkness. They don't know what they stumble over.

What the wicked fear, will overtake them, but the desire of the righteous will be granted.

The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable, but the mouth of the wicked is perverse.

The violence of the wicked will drive them away, because they refuse to do what is right.

When you sit to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before you;

yes, my heart will rejoice, when your lips speak what is right.

Don't be hasty in bringing charges to court. What will you do in the end when your neighbor shames you?

Who has ascended up into heaven, and descended? Who has gathered the wind in his fists? Who has bound the waters in his garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son's name, if you know?

What does man gain from all his labor in which he labors under the sun?

I said of laughter, "It is foolishness;" and of mirth, "What does it accomplish?"

I searched in my heart how to cheer my flesh with wine, my heart yet guiding me with wisdom, and how to lay hold of folly, until I might see what it was good for the sons of men that they should do under heaven all the days of their lives.

I turned myself to consider wisdom, madness, and folly: for what can the king's successor do? Just that which has been done long ago.

For what has a man of all his labor, and of the striving of his heart, in which he labors under the sun?

What profit has he who works in that in which he labors?

Therefore I saw that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his works; for that is his portion: for who can bring him to see what will be after him?

When goods increase, those who eat them are increased; and what advantage is there to its owner, except to feast on them with his eyes?

This also is a grievous evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go. And what profit does he have who labors for the wind?

For what advantage has the wise more than the fool? What has the poor man, that knows how to walk before the living?

Whatever has been, its name was given long ago; and it is known what man is; neither can he contend with him who is mightier than he.

For there are many words that create vanity. What does that profit man?

For who knows what is good for man in life, all the days of his vain life which he spends like a shadow? For who can tell a man what will be after him under the sun?

for the king's word is supreme. Who can say to him, "What are you doing?"

A fool also multiplies words. Man doesn't know what will be; and that which will be after him, who can tell him?

Give a portion to seven, yes, even to eight; for you don't know what evil will be on the earth.

As you don't know what is the way of the wind, nor how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child; even so you don't know the work of God who does all.

This is what Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.

Stop trusting in man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for of what account is he?

What do you mean that you crush my people, and grind the face of the poor?" says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies.

What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? Why, when I looked for it to yield grapes, did it yield wild grapes?

Now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard. I will take away its hedge, and it will be eaten up. I will break down its wall of it, and it will be trampled down.

This is what the Lord Yahweh says: "It shall not stand, neither shall it happen."

What will you do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which will come from afar? To whom will you flee for help? Where will you leave your wealth?

What will they answer the messengers of the nation? That Yahweh has founded Zion, and in her the afflicted of his people will take refuge.

Where then are your wise men? Let them tell you now; and let them know what Yahweh of Armies has purposed concerning Egypt.

For the Lord said to me, "Go, set a watchman. Let him declare what he sees.

The burden of Dumah. One calls to me out of Seir, "Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?"

The burden of the valley of vision. What ails you now, that you have all gone up to the housetops?

What are you doing here? Who has you here, that you have dug out a tomb here?' Cutting himself out a tomb on high, chiseling a habitation for himself in the rock!"

Hear, you who are far off, what I have done; and, you who are near, acknowledge my might."

Rabshakeh said to them, "Now tell Hezekiah, 'Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria, "What confidence is this in which you trust?

What will I say? He has both spoken to me, and himself has done it. I will walk carefully all my years because of the anguish of my soul.

Then he asked, "What have they seen in your house?" Hezekiah answered, "They have seen all that is in my house. There is nothing among my treasures that I have not shown them."

To whom then will you liken God? Or what likeness will you compare to him?

"Let them announce, and declare to us what shall happen. Declare the former things, what they are, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or show us things to come.

This is what Yahweh, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, Yahweh of Armies, says: "I am the first, and I am the last; and besides me there is no God.

Woe to him who strives with his Maker -- a clay pot among the clay pots of the earth! Shall the clay ask him who fashions it, 'What are you making?' or your work, 'He has no hands?'

Thus says Yahweh, "What unrighteousness have your fathers found in me, that they have gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain?

But go now to my place which was in Shiloh, where I caused my name to dwell at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel.

Don't you see what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?

It shall happen, when you shall show this people all these words, and they shall tell you, Why has Yahweh pronounced all this great evil against us? or what is our iniquity? or what is our sin that we have committed against Yahweh our God?

At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up and to break down and to destroy it;

At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it;

I have heard what the prophets have said, who prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.

The prophet who has a dream, let him tell a dream; and he who has my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the straw to the wheat? says Yahweh.

When this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask you, saying, What is the burden of Yahweh? Then you shall tell them, What burden! I will cast you off, says Yahweh.
