Isaiah 30 : 25 - 30

Chapter 30

25There will be on every high mountain And on every high hill Rivers and streams of waters, In the day of the great slaughter, When the towers fall.
26Moreover the light of the moon will be as the light of the sun, And the light of the sun will be sevenfold, As the light of seven days, In the day that the LORD binds up the bruise of His people And heals the stroke of their wound.
27Behold, the name of the LORD comes from afar, Burning with His anger, And His burden is heavy; His lips are full of indignation, And His tongue like a devouring fire.
28His breath is like an overflowing stream, Which reaches up to the neck, To sift the nations with the sieve of futility; And there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, Causing them to err.
29You shall have a song As in the night when a holy festival is kept, And gladness of heart as when one goes with a flute, To come into the mountain of the LORD, To the Mighty One of Israel.
30The LORD will cause His glorious voice to be heard, And show the descent of His arm, With the indignation of His anger And the flame of a devouring fire, With scattering, tempest, and hailstones.


Proverbs 6 : 20 - 7 : 4

Chapter 6

20My son, keep your father's command, And do not forsake the law of your mother.
21Bind them continually upon your heart; Tie them around your neck.
22When you roam, they will lead you; When you sleep, they will keep you; And when you awake, they will speak with you.
23For the commandment is a lamp, And the law a light; Reproofs of instruction are the way of life,
24To keep you from the evil woman, From the flattering tongue of a seductress.
25Do not lust after her beauty in your heart, Nor let her allure you with her eyelids.
26For by means of a harlot A man is reduced to a crust of bread; And an adulteress will prey upon his precious life.
27Can a man take fire to his bosom, And his clothes not be burned?
28Can one walk on hot coals, And his feet not be seared?
29So is he who goes in to his neighbor's wife; Whoever touches her shall not be innocent.
30People do not despise a thief If he steals to satisfy himself when he is starving.
31Yet when he is found, he must restore sevenfold; He may have to give up all the substance of his house.
32Whoever commits adultery with a woman lacks understanding; He who does so destroys his own soul.
33Wounds and dishonor he will get, And his reproach will not be wiped away.
34For jealousy is a husband's fury; Therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
35He will accept no recompense, Nor will he be appeased though you give many gifts.

Chapter 7

1My son, keep my words, And treasure my commands within you.
2Keep my commands and live, And my law as the apple of your eye.
3Bind them on your fingers; Write them on the tablet of your heart.
4Say to wisdom, "You are my sister," And call understanding your nearest kin,
