'Teaching' in the Bible

You shall teach them the decrees and laws. You shall show them the way they are to live and the work they are to do.

Now for a long time Israel was without the true God and without a teaching priest, and without [God’s] law.

Listen, O my people, to my teaching;Incline your ears to the words of my mouth [and be willing to learn].

My son, hear the instruction of your father,And do not reject the teaching of your mother.

My son, do not forget my teaching,But let your heart keep my commandments;

For I give you good doctrine;Do not turn away from my instruction.

For the commandment is a lamp, and the teaching [of the law] is light,And reproofs (rebukes) for discipline are the way of life,

Keep my commandments and live,And keep my teaching and law as the apple of your eye.

The teaching of the wise is a fountain and source of life,So that one may avoid the snares of death.

Hear the word of the Lord [rulers of Jerusalem],You rulers of [another] Sodom,Listen to the law and instruction of our God,You people of [another] Gomorrah.

Therefore, as the tongue of fire consumes the stubble [from straw]And the dry grass collapses into the flame,So their root will become like rot and their blossom blow away like fine dust;Because they have rejected the law of the Lord of hostsAnd despised and discarded the word of the Holy One of Israel.

Bind up the testimony, seal the law and the teaching among my (Isaiah’s) disciples.

[Direct those people] to the law and to the testimony! If their teachings are not in accord with this word, it is because they have no dawn.

He who said to them, “This is the place of quiet, give rest to the weary,”And, “This is the resting place,” yet they would not listen.

Who gave up Jacob [the kingdom of Judah] for spoil, and [the kingdom of] Israel to the plunderers?Was it not the Lord, He against whom we [of Judah] have sinned,And in whose ways they [of Israel] were unwilling to walk,And whose law and teaching they did not obey?

But they are altogether irrational and stupid and foolishIn their discipline of delusion—their idol is [only] wood [it is ridiculous, empty and worthless]!
