But as for you who have given up the Lord, who have no care for my holy mountain, who get ready a table for Chance, and make offerings of mixed wine to Fate; Your fate will be the sword, and you will all go down to death: because when my voice came to you, you made no answer; you did not give ear to my word; but you did what was evil in my eyes, desiring what was not pleasing to me.

For all these things my hand has made, and they are mine, says the Lord; but to this man only will I give attention, to him who is poor and broken in spirit, fearing my word.

For there are men who are not ruled by law; foolish talkers, false teachers, specially those of the circumcision, By whom some families have been completely overturned; who take money for teaching things which are not right; these will have to be stopped.

Be turned again by my sharp words: see, I will send the flow of my spirit on you, and make my words clear to you.

Then I will give no answer to their cries; searching for me early, they will not see me: For they were haters of knowledge, and did not give their hearts to the fear of the Lord: They had no desire for my teaching, and my words of protest were as nothing to them. So the fruit of their way will be their food, and with the designs of their hearts they will be made full. For the turning back of the simple from teaching will be the cause of their death, and the peace of the foolish will be their destruction. But whoever gives ear to me will take his rest safely, living in peace without fear of evil.

And the strength of Pharaoh will be your shame, and your hope in the shade of Egypt will come to nothing. read more.

Through the land of trouble and grief, the land of the she-lion and the voice of the lion, of the snake and the burning winged snake, they take their wealth on the backs of young asses, and their stores on camels, to a people in whom is no profit. For there is no use or purpose in the help of Egypt: so I have said about her, She is Rahab, who has come to an end. Now go, put it in writing before them on a board, and make a record of it in a book, so that it may be for the future, a witness for all time to come.

By this you may have knowledge of the Spirit of God: every spirit which says that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit which does not say this is not from God: this is the spirit of Antichrist, of which you have had word; and it is in the world even now. read more.
You are of God, my little children, and you have overcome them because he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. They are of the world, so their talk is the world's talk, and the world gives ear to them.

And he said to him, If they will not give attention to Moses and the prophets, they will not be moved even if someone comes back from the dead.

You have knowledge of this, dear brothers. But let every man be quick in hearing, slow in words, slow to get angry;

Give ear, you wise, to my words; and you who have knowledge, give attention to me; For words are tested by the ear, as food is tasted by the mouth.

But God will not give ear to what is false, or the Ruler of all take note of it;

In whom we have a heritage, being marked out from the first in his purpose who does all things in agreement with his designs;

To make their eyes open, turning them from the dark to the light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may have forgiveness of sins and a heritage among those who are made holy by faith in me.

And a heritage fair, holy and for ever new, waiting in heaven for you,

And now, I give you into the care of God and the word of his grace, which is able to make you strong and to give you your heritage among all the saints.

Being certain that the Lord will give you the reward of the heritage: for you are the servants of the Lord Christ.

For God's word, that the earth would be his heritage, was given to Abraham, not through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and yours is the heritage by the right of God's undertaking given to Abraham.

And if we are children, we have a right to a part in the heritage; a part in the things of God, together with Christ; so that if we have a part in his pain, we will in the same way have a part in his glory.

So that you are no longer a servant, but a son; and if a son, then the heritage of God is yours.

Are they not all helping spirits, who are sent out as servants to those whose heritage will be salvation?

O Lord, word of you has come to my ears; I have seen your work, O Lord; when the years come near make it clear; in wrath keep mercy in mind.

You have knowledge of this, dear brothers. But let every man be quick in hearing, slow in words, slow to get angry;

Put your feet down with care when you go to the house of God, for it is better to give ear than to make the burned offerings of the foolish, whose knowledge is only of doing evil.

And those in the good earth are those who, having given ear to the word, keep it with a good and true heart, and in quiet strength give fruit.

Happy is the man who gives ear to me, watching at my doors day by day, keeping his place by the pillars of my house.

Go through, go through the doors; make ready the way of the people; let the highway be lifted up; let the stones be taken away; let a flag be lifted up over the peoples.

And a highway will be there; its name will be, The Holy Way; the unclean and the sinner may not go over it, and those who go on it will not be turned out of the way by the foolish.

See, I am doing a new thing; now it is starting; will you not take note of it? I will even make a way in the waste land, and rivers in the dry country.

The highway of the upright is to be turned away from evil: he who takes care of his way will keep his soul.

Put up guiding pillars, make road signs for yourself: give attention to the highway, even the way in which you went: be turned again, O virgin of Israel, be turned to these your towns.
