You shall follow my rules and keep my statutes and walk in them. I am the Lord your God.

And you shall not walk in the customs of the nation that I am driving out before you, for they did all these things, and therefore I detested them.

“And if by this discipline you are not turned to me but walk contrary to me,

then I also will walk contrary to you, and I myself will strike you sevenfold for your sins.

You shall teach them to your children, talking of them when you are sitting in your house, and when you are walking by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.

For the people of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, until all the nation, the men of war who came out of Egypt, perished, because they did not obey the voice of the Lord; the Lord swore to them that he would not let them see the land that the Lord had sworn to their fathers to give to us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

Let your heart therefore be wholly true to the Lord our God, walking in his statutes and keeping his commandments, as at this day.”

And as for you, if you will walk before me, as David your father walked, with integrity of heart and uprightness, doing according to all that I have commanded you, and keeping my statutes and my rules,

because they have forsaken me and worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of Moab, and Milcom the god of the Ammonites, and they have not walked in my ways, doing what is right in my sight and keeping my statutes and my rules, as David his father did.

And if you will listen to all that I command you, and will walk in my ways, and do what is right in my eyes by keeping my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did, I will be with you and will build you a sure house, as I built for David, and I will give Israel to you.

He did what was evil in the sight of the Lord and walked in the way of Jeroboam and in his sin which he made Israel to sin.

“Since I exalted you out of the dust and made you leader over my people Israel, and you have walked in the way of Jeroboam and have made my people Israel to sin, provoking me to anger with their sins,

because of his sins that he committed, doing evil in the sight of the Lord, walking in the way of Jeroboam, and for his sin which he committed, making Israel to sin.

For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in the sins that he made Israel to sin, provoking the Lord, the God of Israel, to anger by their idols.

Judah also did not keep the commandments of the Lord their God, but walked in the customs that Israel had introduced.

The people of Israel walked in all the sins that Jeroboam did. They did not depart from them,

He walked in the way of Asa his father and did not turn aside from it, doing what was right in the sight of the Lord.

And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as the house of Ahab had done, for the daughter of Ahab was his wife. And he did what was evil in the sight of the Lord.

And a letter came to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, “Thus says the Lord, the God of David your father, ‘Because you have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat your father, or in the ways of Asa king of Judah,

but have walked in the way of the kings of Israel and have enticed Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem into whoredom, as the house of Ahab led Israel into whoredom, and also you have killed your brothers, of your father's house, who were better than you,

He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother was his counselor in doing wickedly.

but he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel. He even made metal images for the Baals,

And he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, and walked in the ways of David his father; and he did not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.

And the king stood in his place and made a covenant before the Lord, to walk after the Lord and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes, with all his heart and all his soul, to perform the words of the covenant that were written in this book.

Book One

The Way of the Righteous and the Wicked

Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers;

He who walks blamelessly and does what is right and speaks truth in his heart;

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

I Will Bless the Lord

Of David.

Vindicate me, O Lord, for I have walked in my integrity, and I have trusted in the Lord without wavering.

For your steadfast love is before my eyes, and I walk in your faithfulness.

But as for me, I shall walk in my integrity; redeem me, and be gracious to me.

Walk about Zion, go around her, number her towers,

We used to take sweet counsel together; within God's house we walked in the throng.

For you have delivered my soul from death, yes, my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.

But God will strike the heads of his enemies, the hairy crown of him who walks in his guilty ways.

They did not keep God's covenant, but refused to walk according to his law.

Oh, that my people would listen to me, that Israel would walk in my ways!

They have neither knowledge nor understanding, they walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor. No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly.

Teach me your way, O Lord, that I may walk in your truth; unite my heart to fear your name.

Blessed are the people who know the festal shout, who walk, O Lord, in the light of your face,

If his children forsake my law and do not walk according to my rules,

I Will Walk with Integrity

A Psalm of David.

I will sing of steadfast love and justice; to you, O Lord, I will make music.

I will ponder the way that is blameless. Oh when will you come to me? I will walk with integrity of heart within my house;

I will look with favor on the faithful in the land, that they may dwell with me; he who walks in the way that is blameless shall minister to me.

They have hands, but do not feel; feet, but do not walk; and they do not make a sound in their throat.

I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living.

Your Word Is a Lamp to My Feet

Aleph

Blessed are those whose way is blameless, who walk in the law of the Lord!

who also do no wrong, but walk in his ways!

and I shall walk in a wide place, for I have sought your precepts.

Blessed Is Everyone Who Fears the Lord

A Song of Ascents.

Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord, who walks in his ways!

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life; you stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and your right hand delivers me.

When my spirit faints within me, you know my way! In the path where I walk they have hidden a trap for me.

my son, do not walk in the way with them; hold back your foot from their paths,

he stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to those who walk in integrity,

who forsake the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways of darkness,

So you will walk in the way of the good and keep to the paths of the righteous.

Then you will walk on your way securely, and your foot will not stumble.

When you walk, your step will not be hampered, and if you run, you will not stumble.

Do not enter the path of the wicked, and do not walk in the way of the evil.

When you walk, they will lead you; when you lie down, they will watch over you; and when you awake, they will talk with you.

Or can one walk on hot coals and his feet not be scorched?

I walk in the way of righteousness, in the paths of justice,

Leave your simple ways, and live, and walk in the way of insight.”

Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but he who makes his ways crooked will be found out.

The righteous is delivered from trouble, and the wicked walks into it instead.

Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm.

Whoever walks in uprightness fears the Lord, but he who is devious in his ways despises him.

Folly is a joy to him who lacks sense, but a man of understanding walks straight ahead.

A fool's lips walk into a fight, and his mouth invites a beating.

Better is a poor person who walks in his integrity than one who is crooked in speech and is a fool.

The righteous who walks in his integrity— blessed are his children after him!

Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity than a rich man who is crooked in his ways.

Whoever walks in integrity will be delivered, but he who is crooked in his ways will suddenly fall.

Whoever trusts in his own mind is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered.

The wise person has his eyes in his head, but the fool walks in darkness. And yet I perceived that the same event happens to all of them.

Even when the fool walks on the road, he lacks sense, and he says to everyone that he is a fool.

I have seen slaves on horses, and princes walking on the ground like slaves.

Rejoice, O young man, in your youth, and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth. Walk in the ways of your heart and the sight of your eyes. But know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment.

and many peoples shall come, and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob, that he may teach us his ways and that we may walk in his paths.” For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

O house of Jacob, come, let us walk in the light of the Lord.

The Lord said: Because the daughters of Zion are haughty and walk with outstretched necks, glancing wantonly with their eyes, mincing along as they go, tinkling with their feet,

Fear God, Wait for the Lord

For the Lord spoke thus to me with his strong hand upon me, and warned me not to walk in the way of this people, saying:

The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shone.

at that time the Lord spoke by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, “Go, and loose the sackcloth from your waist and take off your sandals from your feet,” and he did so, walking naked and barefoot.

Then the Lord said, “As my servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot for three years as a sign and a portent against Egypt and Cush,

And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left.

He who walks righteously and speaks uprightly, who despises the gain of oppressions, who shakes his hands, lest they hold a bribe, who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed and shuts his eyes from looking on evil,

And a highway shall be there, and it shall be called the Way of Holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it. It shall belong to those who walk on the way; even if they are fools, they shall not go astray.

No lion shall be there, nor shall any ravenous beast come up on it; they shall not be found there, but the redeemed shall walk there.

and said, “Please, O Lord, remember how I have walked before you in faithfulness and with a whole heart, and have done what is good in your sight.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.

What shall I say? For he has spoken to me, and he himself has done it. I walk slowly all my years because of the bitterness of my soul.

but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.

Thus says God, the Lord, who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and what comes from it, who gives breath to the people on it and spirit to those who walk in it:

Who gave up Jacob to the looter, and Israel to the plunderers? Was it not the Lord, against whom we have sinned, in whose ways they would not walk, and whose law they would not obey?

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you.

Who among you fears the Lord and obeys the voice of his servant? Let him who walks in darkness and has no light trust in the name of the Lord and rely on his God.

Behold, all you who kindle a fire, who equip yourselves with burning torches! Walk by the light of your fire, and by the torches that you have kindled! This you have from my hand: you shall lie down in torment.

he enters into peace; they rest in their beds who walk in their uprightness.

Therefore justice is far from us, and righteousness does not overtake us; we hope for light, and behold, darkness, and for brightness, but we walk in gloom.

I spread out my hands all the day to a rebellious people, who walk in a way that is not good, following their own devices;

Thus says the Lord: “Stand by the roads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is; and walk in it, and find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’

Go not out into the field, nor walk on the road, for the enemy has a sword; terror is on every side.

But this command I gave them: ‘Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be my people. And walk in all the way that I command you, that it may be well with you.’

But they did not obey or incline their ear, but walked in their own counsels and the stubbornness of their evil hearts, and went backward and not forward.

And the Lord says: “Because they have forsaken my law that I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice or walked in accord with it,

Their idols are like scarecrows in a cucumber field, and they cannot speak; they have to be carried, for they cannot walk. Do not be afraid of them, for they cannot do evil, neither is it in them to do good.”

I know, O Lord, that the way of man is not in himself, that it is not in man who walks to direct his steps.

Yet they did not obey or incline their ear, but everyone walked in the stubbornness of his evil heart. Therefore I brought upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but they did not.”

But my people have forgotten me; they make offerings to false gods; they made them stumble in their ways, in the ancient roads, and to walk into side roads, not the highway,

But in the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen a horrible thing: they commit adultery and walk in lies; they strengthen the hands of evildoers, so that no one turns from his evil; all of them have become like Sodom to me, and its inhabitants like Gomorrah.”

You shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord: If you will not listen to me, to walk in my law that I have set before you,

With weeping they shall come, and with pleas for mercy I will lead them back, I will make them walk by brooks of water, in a straight path in which they shall not stumble, for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.

And they entered and took possession of it. But they did not obey your voice or walk in your law. They did nothing of all you commanded them to do. Therefore you have made all this disaster come upon them.

They have not humbled themselves even to this day, nor have they feared, nor walked in my law and my statutes that I set before you and before your fathers.

It is because you made offerings and because you sinned against the Lord and did not obey the voice of the Lord or walk in his law and in his statutes and in his testimonies that this disaster has happened to you, as at this day.”

They dogged our steps so that we could not walk in our streets; our end drew near; our days were numbered, for our end had come.

And she has rebelled against my rules by doing wickedness more than the nations, and against my statutes more than the countries all around her; for they have rejected my rules and have not walked in my statutes.

Therefore thus says the Lord God: Because you are more turbulent than the nations that are all around you, and have not walked in my statutes or obeyed my rules, and have not even acted according to the rules of the nations that are all around you,

and you shall know that I am the Lord. For you have not walked in my statutes, nor obeyed my rules, but have acted according to the rules of the nations that are around you.”

that they may walk in my statutes and keep my rules and obey them. And they shall be my people, and I will be their God.

Not only did you walk in their ways and do according to their abominations; within a very little time you were more corrupt than they in all your ways.

walks in my statutes, and keeps my rules by acting faithfully—he is righteous; he shall surely live, declares the Lord God.

withholds his hand from iniquity, takes no interest or profit, obeys my rules, and walks in my statutes; he shall not die for his father's iniquity; he shall surely live.

But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness.
