Noah Pleases God

⁹ This is the genealogy of Noah. ^(A)Noah was a just man, ^[a]perfect in his generations. Noah ^(B)walked with God.

The Sign of the Covenant^(A)

17 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord ^(B)appeared to Abram and said to him, ^(C)“I am ^[a]Almighty God; ^(D)walk before Me and be ^(E)blameless.

¹³ You shall be ^[a]blameless before the Lord your God.

⁶¹ Let your ^(A)heart therefore be ^[a]loyal to the Lord our God, to walk in His statutes and keep His commandments, as at this day.”

⁴ For it was so, when Solomon was old, ^(A)that his wives turned his heart after other gods; and his ^(B)heart was not ^[a]loyal to the Lord his God, ^(C)as was the heart of his father David.

^9 (A)For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him. In this ^(B)you have done foolishly; therefore from now on ^(C)you shall have wars.”

¹⁷ But ^(A)the ^[a]high places were not removed from Israel. Nevertheless the heart of Asa was loyal all his days.

⁹ And he commanded them, saying, “Thus you shall act ^(A)in the fear of the Lord, faithfully and with a loyal heart:

^3 (A)“Remember now, O Lord, I pray, how I have walked before You in truth and with a loyal heart, and have done what was good in Your sight.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.
