Thematic Bible



“They have sown wheat and have reaped thorns,
They have strained themselves to no profit.
But be ashamed of your harvest
Because of the fierce anger of the Lord.”

“Why do you spend money for what is not bread,
And your wages for what does not satisfy?
Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good,
And delight yourself in abundance.

‘I have sinned and perverted what is right,
And it is not proper for me.




You must not turn aside, for then you would go after futile things which can not profit or deliver, because they are futile.

For there will be no future for the evil man;
The lamp of the wicked will be put out.

Those who fashion a graven image are all of them futile, and their precious things are of no profit; even their own witnesses fail to see or know, so that they will be put to shame.
