Thematic Bible: What the lord delights in
Thematic Bible
Delight » What the lord delights in
A false balance is an abomination to the LORD; but a true weight pleaseth him.
Then said Samuel, "Hath the LORD as great pleasure in burnt sacrifices and offerings, as he hath that thou shouldest obey his voice? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to give heed is better than the fat of rams.
The LORD ordereth a good man's going, and hath pleasure in his way.
The LORD abhorreth the sacrifice of the ungodly; but the prayer of the righteous is acceptable to him.
Moreover, thus sayeth the LORD, "Let not the wise man rejoice in his wisdom, nor the strong man in his strength; neither the rich man in his riches. But who so will rejoice, let him rejoice in this: that he understandeth, and knoweth me. For I am the LORD, which do mercy, equity and righteousness upon the earth. Therefore have I pleasure in such things, sayeth the LORD."
Where is there such a God as thou? That pardonest wickedness, and forgivest the offenses of the remnant of thine heritage? He keepeth not his wrath for ever. And why? His delight is to have compassion.
