24 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Command the children of Israel that they bring pure pressed olive oil to you, for the light, to make the lamps burn continually.
3 “Outside the Veil of the Testimony, in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, shall Aaron tend them, from evening until morning, before the LORD always. This shall be a Law, forever, throughout your generations.
4 “He shall tend the lamps upon the pure Candlestick before the LORD, perpetually.
5 “Also, you shall take fine flour and bake twelve cakes from it. Two tenths of an ephah shall be in one cake.
6 “And you shall set them in two rows, six in a row, upon the pure Table before the LORD.
7 “You shall also put pure incense upon the rows, so that it may be on the Bread for a remembrance, an offering made by fire to the LORD.
8 “Every Sabbath he shall put them in rows before the LORD, forevermore, from the children of Israel, for an everlasting Covenant.
9 “And it shall be Aaron’s and his sons’. And they shall eat it in the Holy Place. For it is Most Holy to him of the offerings of the LORD, made by fire, by a perpetual Ordinance.”
10 And there went out among the children of Israel the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian. And this son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel fought each other in the camp.
11 So the Israelitish woman’s son blasphemed the Name, and cursed. And they brought him to Moses. Also, his mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.
12 And they put him under guard until he told them the mind of the LORD.
13 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
14 “Bring the blasphemer outside the camp. And let all who heard him put their hands upon his head. And let all the Congregation stone him.
15 “And you shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin.
16 ‘And he who blasphemes the Name of the LORD shall be put to death. All the Congregation shall stone him to death, as well as the stranger, just as he who is born in the land. When he blasphemes the Name, let him be killed.
17 ‘Also, he who kills any man, he shall be put to death.
18 ‘And he who kills a beast, he shall restore it, beast for beast.
19 ‘Also, if a man causes a blemish in his neighbor, just as he has done so shall it be done to him.
20 ‘Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. Such a blemish as he has made in any, such shall be repaid to him.
21 ‘And he who kills a beast shall restore it. But he who kills a man shall be killed.
22 ‘You shall have one Law. It shall be the same for the stranger as for one born in the country, for I am the LORD your God.’”
23 Then, Moses told the children of Israel. And they brought the blasphemer out of the camp and stoned him with stones. So, the children of Israel did as the LORD had commanded Moses.
31 In You, O LORD, have I put my trust. Let me never be confounded. Deliver me in Your righteousness.
2 Bow down Your ear to me. Make haste to deliver me. Be to me a strong rock, a house of defense to save me.
3 For You are my rock and my fortress. Therefore, direct me and guide me for Your Name’s sake.
4 Draw me out of the net which they have secretly laid for me. For You are my strength.
5 Into Your hand I commend My spirit. For You have redeemed me, O LORD God of Truth.
6 I have hated those who give themselves to deceitful vanities; for I trust in the LORD.
7 I will be glad and rejoice in Your mercy. For You have seen my trouble. You have known my soul in adversities.
8 And You have not shut me up in the hand of the enemy but have set my feet in an open space.
9 Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble. My eye, my soul and my belly are consumed with grief.
10 For my life is wasted with heaviness, and my years with mourning. My strength fails because of my pain; and my bones are consumed.
11 I was a reproach among all my enemies — but especially among my neighbors — and a fear to my acquaintances. Who, seeing me in the street, fled from me.
12 I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind. I am like a broken vessel.
13 For I have heard the railing of great men. Fear was on every side, while they conspired together against me and consulted to take my life.
14 But I trusted in You, O LORD. I said, “You are my God.”
15 My times are in Your hand. Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me.
16 Make Your face to shine upon Your servant. Save me through Your mercy.
17 Let me not be confounded, O LORD, for I have called upon You. Let the wicked be put to confusion, to silence, in the grave.
18 Let the lying lips which cruelly, proudly, and spitefully speak against the righteous be made dumb.
19 How great is Your goodness which You have laid up for those who fear You; and done to those who trust in You before the sons of men!
20 You hide them from the pride of men in the secret place of Your presence. You keep them secretly in Your Tabernacle from the strife of tongues.
21 Blessed be the LORD. For He has shown His marvelous kindness toward me in a strong city.
22 Though I said in my haste, “I am cast out of Your sight!” Still, You heard the voice of my prayer when I cried to You.
23 Love the LORD, all His saints. The LORD preserves the faithful and abundantly repays the proud.
24 All you who trust in the LORD, be strong; and He shall establish your heart. A Psalm of David, to give instruction.
7 Surely there are many things that increase vanity, and how does it benefit a man?
2 For who knows what is good for man in life, in the number of the days of the life of his vanity, seeing he makes them as a shadow? For who can show a man what shall come after him under the Sun?
3 A good name is better than a good ointment, and the day of death is better than the day one is born.
4 It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting, because this is the end of all men. And the living shall take it to heart.
5 Anger is better than laughter; for by a sad look the heart is made better.
6 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning. But the heart of fools is in the house of pleasure.
7 Better it is to hear the rebuke of a wise man than that a man should hear the song of fools.
8 For like the noise of the thorns under the pot, so is the laughter of the fool. This also is vanity.
9 Surely oppression makes a wise man mad. And the reward destroys the heart.
10 The end of a thing is better than its beginning. To be patient in spirit is better than to be proud in spirit.
11 Do not hasten your spirit to anger. For anger rests in the bosom of fools.
12 Do not say, “Why is it that the former days were better than these?” For you do not inquire wisely of this thing.
13 Wisdom is good with an inheritance, and excellent to those who see the Sun.
14 For man shall rest in the shadow of wisdom, and in the shadow of silver. But the excellency of the knowledge of wisdom gives life to its possessors.
15 Behold the work of God. For who can make straight that which He has made crooked?
16 In the day of wealth, be of good comfort. And in the day of affliction consider this: God has also made this as opposed to that, so that man would find nothing after Him.
17 I have seen all things in the days of my vanity. There is a righteous man who perishes in his righteousness. And there is a wicked man who continues long in his malice.
18 Do not be overly righteous or make yourself overly wise. Why should you be desolate?
19 Be neither overly wicked nor foolish. Why should you not perish in your time?
20 It is good that you lay hold on this, but still not withdraw your hand from that. For he who fears God shall come forth from them all.
21 Wisdom shall strengthen the wise men more than ten mighty princes who are in the city.
22 Surely there is no man righteous on the Earth, who does good and does not sin.
23 Also, do not give your heart to all the words that men speak, lest you hear your servant cursing you.
24 For oftentimes, your heart also knows that you likewise have cursed others.
25 All this I have tested by wisdom. I thought, “I will be wise,” but it went far from me.
26 It is far off. What may it be? It is profoundly deep. Who can find it?
27 I have applied my heart to know and to inquire and to search wisdom and reason and to know the wickedness of folly and the foolishness of madness.
28 And I find the woman whose heart is as nets and snares, and her hands as bands, more bitter than death. He who is good before God shall be delivered from her. But the sinner shall be taken by her.
29 “Behold,” says the preacher, “this I have found, adding one by one to find the answer.
30 “And yet my soul seeks, but I do not find it. I have found one man of a thousand. But I have not found a woman among them all.
31 “Lo, only this have I found: that God has made man righteous. But they have sought many inventions.”
3 Also know this: that perilous times shall come in the last days.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 hard-hearted, trucebreakers, slanderers, out of control, brutal, no lovers of good,
4 traitors, rash, haughty, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God,
5 appearing to be godly but denying its power. And from such turn away!
6 For of this sort are those who creep into houses and captivate simple women laden with sins; led by diverse lusts,
7 always learning and never coming to a knowledge of the Truth.
8 And as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so also do these resist the Truth; men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
9 But they shall no longer prevail. For their madness shall be evident to all, as theirs also was.
10 But you have closely followed my teaching, manner of living, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, patience,
11 persecutions and afflictions which came to me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra – what persecutions I suffered! But the Lord delivered me from them all.
12 Indeed, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
13 But the evil men and deceivers shall grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.
14 But you continue in the things which you have learned (and which are committed to you), knowing from Whom you have learned them,
15 and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures which are able to make you wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 For the whole Scripture is given by inspiration from God; and is profitable for teaching, convicting, correcting, and instructing in righteousness.
17 So that the man of God may be complete, fully equipped for every good work.
