137 You are righteous,(A) Lord,
and your laws are right.(B)
138 The statutes you have laid down are righteous;(C)
they are fully trustworthy.(D)
139 My zeal wears me out,(E)
for my enemies ignore your words.
140 Your promises(F) have been thoroughly tested,(G)
and your servant loves them.(H)
141 Though I am lowly and despised,(I)
I do not forget your precepts.(J)
142 Your righteousness is everlasting
and your law is true.(K)

but your commands give me delight.(L)

137 Righteous art thou, O Lord, and upright are thy judgments.
138 Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful.
139 My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten thy words.

Habakkuk 2:5-11
New International Version
Habakkuk 2:5-11
New International Version
5 indeed, wine(A) betrays him;
he is arrogant(B) and never at rest.
Because he is as greedy as the grave
and like death is never satisfied,(C)
he gathers to himself all the nations
and takes captive(D) all the peoples.
6 “Will not all of them taunt(E) him with ridicule and scorn, saying,
“‘Woe to him who piles up stolen goods
and makes himself wealthy by extortion!(F)
How long must this go on?’
7 Will not your creditors suddenly arise?
Will they not wake up and make you tremble?
Then you will become their prey.(G)
8 Because you have plundered many nations,
the peoples who are left will plunder you.(H)
For you have shed human blood;(I)
you have destroyed lands and cities and everyone in them.(J)
9 “Woe to him who builds(K) his house by unjust gain,(L)
setting his nest(M) on high
to escape the clutches of ruin!
10 You have plotted the ruin(N) of many peoples,
shaming(O) your own house and forfeiting your life.
11 The stones(P) of the wall will cry out,
and the beams of the woodwork will echo it.
Habakkuk 2:5-11
King James Version
Habakkuk 2:5-11
King James Version
5 Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, he is a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all people:
6 Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him that increaseth that which is not his! how long? and to him that ladeth himself with thick clay!
7 Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, and awake that shall vex thee, and thou shalt be for booties unto them?
8 Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all the remnant of the people shall spoil thee; because of men's blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.
9 Woe to him that coveteth an evil covetousness to his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evil!
10 Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off many people, and hast sinned against thy soul.
11 For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.

John 8:39-47
New International Version
39 “Abraham is our father,” they answered.
“If you were Abraham’s children,”(A) said Jesus, “then you would[a] do what Abraham did. 40 As it is, you are looking for a way to kill me,(B) a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God.(C) Abraham did not do such things. 41 You are doing the works of your own father.”(D)
“We are not illegitimate children,” they protested. “The only Father we have is God himself.”(E)
42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me,(F) for I have come here from God.(G) I have not come on my own;(H) God sent me.(I) 43 Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. 44 You belong to your father, the devil,(J) and you want to carry out your father’s desires.(K) He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.(L) 45 Yet because I tell the truth,(M) you do not believe me! 46 Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don’t you believe me? 47 Whoever belongs to God hears what God says.(N) The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.”

King James Version
John 8:39-47
King James Version
39 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
47 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
