And know in thine heart, that as a man chastens his son, so the LORD thy God chastens thee.

Remember the days of old; consider the years of many generations; ask thy father, and he will show thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee;

O that they were wise, if they were prudent, they would understand their latter end!

Only fear the LORD and serve him in truth with all your heart, for consider what great things he has done with you.

Hearken unto this, Job; stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.

When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; what is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou dost visit him?

Now therefore thus hath the LORD of the hosts said; Consider your ways. Ye have sown much and bring in little; ye eat, but ye are not filled; ye drink, but ye are not satisfied; ye clothe yourselves, but you are not warm; and he that is a hireling receives his wages in a bag with holes.

And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they toil not, neither do they spin; and yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

And be not conformed to this age, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your soul that ye may experience what is that good and well pleasing and perfect will of God.

Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is any praise, exercise yourselves in these things.

For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself lest ye be wearied in your souls and faint.
