the_rev Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 Ezra 3:1-3 Now when the seventh month came, after the Israelites had settled in their cities, the people gathered at Jerusalem as one man. Then Jeshua, son of Jozadak, together with his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, together with his brethren, set about rebuilding the altar of the God of Israel in order to offer on it the holocausts prescribed in the law of Moses, the man of God.

the_rev Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 Tobit 10:1-5 Meanwhile, day by day, Tobit was keeping track of the time Tobiah would need to go and to return. When the number of days was reached and his son did not appear, he said, "I wonder what has happened. Perhaps he has been detained there; or perhaps Gabael is dead, and there is no one to give him the money." And he began to worry. His wife Anna said, "My son has perished and is no longer among the living!" And she began to weep aloud and to wail over her son: "Alas, my child, light of my eyes, that I let you make this journey!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theoketos Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Thought that is was the Point of the Book... 12 Who are you, that have put God to the test this day, and are setting yourselves up in the place of* God among the sons of men? 13 You are putting the Lord Almighty to the test--but you will never know anything! 14 You cannot plumb the depths of the human heart, nor find out what a man is thinking; how do you expect to search out God, who made all these things, and find out his mind or comprehend his thought? No, my brethren, do not provoke the Lord our God to anger. Judith 8:12-14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theoketos Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 The Holy Bible Job Chapter 42 Chapter 42 1 Then Job answered the LORD: 2 "I know that thou canst do all things, and that no purpose of thine can be thwarted. 3 'Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?' Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I did not know. 4 'Hear, and I will speak; I will question you, and you declare to me.' 5 I had heard of thee by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees thee; 6 therefore I despise myself, and repent in dust and ashes."

homeschoolmom Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 I get Psalms? Wow! Sorry... I couldn't decide. Psalm 23 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness For His name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You have anointed my head with oil; My cup overflows. Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life, And I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. Psalm 119 1-16 (not the whole thing!!) How blessed are those whose way is blameless, Who walk in the law of the LORD. How blessed are those who observe His testimonies, Who seek Him with all their heart. They also do no unrighteousness; They walk in His ways. You have ordained Your precepts, That we should keep them diligently. Oh that my ways may be established To keep Your statutes! Then I shall not be ashamed When I look upon all Your commandments. I shall give thanks to You with uprightness of heart, When I learn Your righteous judgments. I shall keep Your statutes; Do not forsake me utterly! How can a young man keep his way pure? By keeping it according to Your word. With all my heart I have sought You; Do not let me wander from Your commandments. Your word I have treasured in my heart, That I may not sin against You. Blessed are You, O LORD; Teach me Your statutes. With my lips I have told of All the ordinances of Your mouth. I have rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies, As much as in all riches. I will meditate on Your precepts And regard Your ways. I shall delight in Your statutes; I shall not forget Your word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quietfire Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Proverbs 6;16-19 THere are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him: Haughty eyes, a lying tougue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies, and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.

Homestarlover85 Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 This is a vanity which occurs on earth: there are just men treated as though they had done evil and wicked men treated as though they had done justly. This, too, I say is vanity. ~Eccesiastes 8: 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theoketos Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 The Holy Bible Sirach Chapter 26 1 Happy is the husband of a good wife; the number of his days will be doubled. 2 A loyal wife rejoices her husband, and he will complete his years in peace. 3 A good wife is a great blessing; she will be granted among the blessings of the man who fears the Lord. 4 Whether rich or poor, his heart is glad, and at all times his face is cheerful. 5 Of three things my heart is afraid, and of a fourth I am frightened: * The slander of a city, the gathering of a mob, and false accusation--all these are worse than death. 6 There is grief of heart and sorrow when a wife is envious of a rival, and a tongue-lashing makes it known to all.
