LEVITICUS 23:15-22 AND YE SHALL COUNT  UNTO YOU FROM  THE MORROW AFTER THE SABBATH,  FROM THE DAY THAT YE BROUGHT  THE SHEAF OF THE WAVE OFFERING;  SEVEN SABBATHS SHALL BE COMPLETE: EVEN UNTO THE MORROW AFTER THE SEVENTH SABBATH SHALL YE NUMBER FIFTY DAYS;  AND YE SHALL  OFFER A NEW MEAT OFFERING  UNTO THE LORD. YE SHALL BRING OUT OF YOUR HABITATIONS TWO WAVE LOAVES OF TWO TENTH DEALS; THEY SHALL BE OF FINE FLOUR; THEY SHALL BE BAKEN WITH LEAVEN; THEY ARE THE FIRSTFRUITS UNTO THE LORD.  AND YE SHALL OFFER WITH THE BREAD SEVEN LAMBS WITHOUT BLEMISH OF THE FIRST YEAR,  AND ONE YOUNG BULLOCK,  AND TWO RAMS:  THEY SHALL BE FOR A BURNT OFFERING UNTO THE LORD,  WITH THEIR MEAT OFFERING,  AND THEIR DRINK OFFERINGS,  EVEN AN OFFERING MADE BY FIRE,  OF SWEET SAVOUR UNTO THE LORD.   THEN YE SHALL SACRIFICE  ONE KID OF THE GOATS FOR A SIN OFFERING, AND TWO LAMBS OF THE FIRST YEAR FOR A SACRIFICE OF PEACE OFFE...

PROVERBS 8:1-12 DOTH NOT WISDOM CRY?  AND UNDERSTANDING PUT  FORTH HER VOICE? SHE STANDETH IN THE  TOP OF HIGH PLACES,  BY THE WAY IN  THE PLACES OF THE PATHS.   SHE CRIETH AT THE GATES,  AT THE ENTRY OF THE CITY,  AT THE COMING IN AT THE DOORS.  UNTO YOU, O MEN, I CALL;  AND  MY VOICE IS TO  THE SONS OF MAN.  O YE SIMPLE,  UNDERSTAND WISDOM:  AND, YE FOOLS,  BE YE OF  AN UNDERSTANDING HEART.  HEAR; FOR I WILL  SPEAK OF EXCELLENT THINGS;  AND  THE OPENING OF MY LIPS SHALL  BE RIGHT THINGS.  FOR MY MOUTH SHALL  SPEAK TRUTH; AND WICKEDNESS  IS AN ABOMINATION TO MY LIPS.  ALL THE WORDS OF  MY MOUTH ARE IN RIGHTEOUSNESS;  THERE IS NOTHING  FROWARD OR PERVERSE IN THEM.     THEY ARE ALL PLAIN TO HIM THAT UNDERSTANDETH, AND RIGHT  TO THEM THAT FIND KNOWLEDGE.   RECEIVE MY INSTRUCTION,  AND NOT SILVER;  AND KNOWL...

 NUMBERS 24:15-18 AND HE TOOK UP HIS PARABLE,  AND SAID, BALAAM THE SON OF  BEOR HATH SAID,  AND  THE MAN WHOSE EYES  ARE OPEN HATH SAID: HE HATH SAID,  WHICH HEARD THE WORDS OF GOD,  AND KNEW  THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE MOST HIGH,  WHICH SAW  THE VISION OF THE ALMIGHTY,  FALLING INTO A TRANCE,  BUT HAVING HIS EYES OPEN:  I SHALL SEE HIM,  BUT NOT NOW:  I SHALL BEHOLD HIM,  BUT NOT NIGH:  THERE SHALL COME  A STAR OUT OF JACOB,  AND   A SCEPTRE SHALL RISE OUT OF ISRAEL,  AND  SHALL SMITE THE CORNERS OF MOAB,  AND DESTROY  ALL THE CHILDREN OF SHETH.  AND  EDOM SHALL BE A POSSESSION,  SEIR ALSO SHALL BE  A POSSESSION FOR HIS ENEMIES;  AND  ISRAEL SHALL DO VALIANTLY.

 MALACHI 3:9-13 YE ARE CURSED WITH A CURSE:  FOR YE HAVE ROBBED ME,  EVEN THIS WHOLE NATION.  BRING YE ALL THE TITHES  INTO THE STOREHOUSE,  THAT THERE MAY BE MEAT  IN MINE HOUSE,  AND PROVE ME  NOW HEREWITH,  SAITH THE LORD  OF HOSTS,  IF I WILL NOT OPEN YOU  THE WINDOWS OF HEAVEN,  AND POUR YOU OUT A BLESSING,  THAT THERE SHALL NOT  BE ROOM ENOUGH TO RECEIVE IT. AND  I WILL REBUKE THE DEVOURER  FOR YOUR SAKES,  AND HE SHALL NOT DESTROY  THE FRUITS OF YOUR GROUND;  NEITHER SHALL YOUR VINE  CAST HER FRUIT BEFORE THE TIME  IN THE FIELD,  SAITH THE LORD OF HOSTS. AND  ALL NATIONS SHALL CALL YOU BLESSED:  FOR YE SHALL BE A DELIGHTSOME LAND,  SAITH THE LORD OF HOSTS.  YOUR WORDS HAVE BEEN  STOUT AGAINST ME,  SAITH THE LORD.  YET YE SAY, WHAT HAVE WE SPOKEN SO MUCH AGAINST THEE?    LOVE

ISAIAH 40:5 AND  THE GLORY OF THE LORD  SHALL BE REVEALED,  AND ALL FLESH SHALL  SEE IT TOGETHER;  FOR THE MOUTH  OF THE LORD HATH SPOKEN IT.    LOVE

 ISAIAH 40:12-15 WHO HATH MEASURED THE WATERS IN THE HOLLOW  OF HIS HAND, AND METED OUT HEAVEN WITH THE SPAN, AND COMPREHENDED THE DUST  THE OF THE EARTH IN A MEASURE,  AND  WEIGHED THE MOUNTAINS IN SCALES, AND THE HILLS IN A BALANCE? WHO HATH DIRECTED THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD, OR BEING HIS COUNSELLOR HATH TAUGHT HIM? WITH WHOM TOOK HE COUNSEL, AND WHO INSTRUCTED HIM, AND TAUGHT HIM THE PATH OF JUDGMENT, AND TAUGHT HIM KNOWLEDGE, AND SHEWED TO HIM THE WAY OF UNDERSTANDING? BEHOLD, THE NATIONS ARE AS A DROP OF A BUCKET, AND ARE COUNTED AS THE SMALL DUST OF THE BALANCE: BEHOLD, HE TAKETH UP THE ISLES AS A VERY LITTLE THING.  LOVE

 DEUTERONOMY 4:33-38 DID EVER PEOPLE HEAR  THE VOICE OF GOD SPEAKING  OUT OF THE MIDST OF THE FIRE ,  AS THOU HAST HEARD, AND LIVE?  OR HATH GOD ASSAYED  TO GO AND TAKE HIM  A NATION FROM  THE MIDST OF ANOTHER NATION,  BY TEMPTATIONS,  BY SIGNS,  AND  BY WONDERS,  AND  BY WAR,  AND  BY A MIGHTY HAND,  AND  BY A STRETCHED OUT ARM,  AND BY GREAT TERRORS,  ACCORDING TO ALL THAT  THE LORD YOUR GOD DID  FOR YOU IN EGYPT  BEFORE YOUR EYES?  UNTO THEE IT WAS SHEWED,  THAT THOU MIGHTEST KNOW  THAT THE LORD HE IS GOD;  THERE IS NONE ELSE BESIDE HIM.  OUT OF HEAVEN HE MADE  THEE TO HEAR HIS VOICE,  THAT HE MIGHT INSTRUCT THEE:  AND UPON EARTH HE SHEWED THEE  HIS GREAT FIRE; AND THOU HEARDEST  HIS WORDS OUT OF THE MIDST OF  THE FIRE. AND BECAUSE  HE LOVED THY FATHERS,  THEREFORE HE CHOSE THEIR  SEED AFTER THEM,...

MATTHEW 5:3-12   BLESSED ARE THE POOR IN SPIRIT:  FOR  THEIRS IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. BLESSED ARE THEY THAT MOURN:  FOR THEY SHALL BE COMFORTED.

REJOICE,  AND BE EXCEEDING GLAD:  FOR  GREAT IS YOUR REWARD IN HEAVEN :  FOR SO PERSECUTED  THEY THE PROPHETS  ...

ISAIAH 43:22-28 BUT  THOU HAST NOT CALLED UPON ME,  O JACOB;  BUT THOU HAST BEEN   WEARY OF ME, O ISRAEL.  THOU HAST NOT BROUGHT ME  THE SMALL CATTLE  OF THY BURNT OFFERINGS;  NEITHER HAST THOU HONOURED ME  WITH THY SACRIFICES.  I HAVE NOT  CAUSED THEE TO SERVE  WITH AN OFFERING,  NOR WEARIED THEE WITH INCENSE. THOU HAST BOUGHT ME  NO SWEET CANE WITH MONEY,  NEITHER  HAST THOU FILLED ME  WITH THE FAT OF THY SACRIFICES:  BUT THOU HAST MADE ME  TO SERVE WITH THY SINS,  THOU HAST WEARIED  ME WITH THINE INIQUITIES. I, EVEN I, AM HE  THAT BLOTTETH OUT  THY TRANSGRESSIONS  FOR MINE OWN SAKE,  AND  WILL NOT REMEMBER THY SINS. PUT ME IN REMEMBRANCE:  LET US PLEAD TOGETHER:  DECLARE THOU,  THAT THOU MAYEST BE JUSTIFIED.  THY FIRST FATHER HATH SINNED,  AND  THY TEACHERS HAVE  TRANSGRESSED AGAINST ME.   THEREFORE  I HAVE...
