105 Your Word is a lantern to my feet, and a light to my paths.
106 I have sworn and will perform it, that I will keep Your righteous Judgments.
107 I am very afflicted, O LORD. Quicken me according to Your Word.
108 O LORD, I beg you, accept the free offering of my mouth and teach me Your Judgments.
109 My life is continually in my hand. Yet, I do not forget Your Law.
110 The wicked have laid a snare for me, but I do not swerve from Your Precepts.
111 I have inherited Your Testimonies forever, for they are the joy of my heart.
112 I have extended my heart to fulfill Your Statutes always, even to the end.
6 Go to the ant, O sluggard! Consider her ways, and be wise.
7 For she, having no guide, governor, or ruler,
8 prepares her food in the summer and gathers her food in harvest.
9 How long will you sleep, O sluggard? When will you arise out of the sleep?
10 A little sleep. A little slumber. A little folding of the hands to sleep.
11 Therefore, your poverty comes as one who travels by the way; and your need like an armed man.
12 The unthrifty and the wicked walk with a crooked mouth.
13 He makes a sign with his eyes. He signifies with his feet. He instructs with his fingers.
14 Lewd things are in his heart. He imagines evil at all times and raises up contentions.
15 Therefore, his destruction shall come speedily. He shall be destroyed suddenly, without recovery.
16 These six things the LORD hates — indeed, his soul abhors seven —
17 the haughty eyes, a lying tongue, the hands that shed innocent blood,
18 a heart that imagines wicked enterprises, feet that are swift in running to mischief,
19 a false witness that speaks lies, and he who raises up contentions among brothers.
20 My son, keep your father’s commandment, and do not forsake your mother’s instruction.
21 Bind them always upon your heart. Tie them around your neck.
22 It shall lead you when you walk. It shall watch for you when you sleep. When you wake, it shall talk with you.
23 For the commandment is a lantern; and instruction a light. And corrections for instruction are the way of life
12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. The one who follows Me shall not walk in darkness but shall have the light of life.”
13 Therefore, the Pharisees said to Him, “You bear witness of Yourself. Your record is not true.”
14 Jesus answered, and said to them, “Even though I bear witness of Myself, My record is true. For I know from where I come, and to where I go. But you cannot tell from where I came, and to where I go.
15 “You judge after the flesh. I judge no one.
16 “If, however, I do judge, My judgment is true. For I am not alone, but I and the Father Who sent Me.
17 “And it is also written in your Law that the testimony of two men is true.
18 “I am One who bears witness of Myself. And the Father, Who sent Me, bears witness of Me.”
19 Then they said to Him, “Where is this Father of Yours?” Jesus answered, “You know neither Me nor My Father. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also.
20 Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, as He taught in the Temple. And no one laid hands on Him. For His hour had not yet come.
21 Then Jesus said again to them, “I go My way. And you shall seek Me and shall die in your sins. Where I go, you cannot come.”
22 Then said the Jews, “Will He kill himself? Because, He says, ‘Where I go, you cannot come’?”
23 And He said to them, “You are from beneath. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world.
24 “Therefore I said to you that you shall die in your sins. For unless you believe that I am He, you shall die in your sins.”
25 Then they said to Him, “Who are you?” And Jesus said to them, “Still the same that I said to you from the beginning.
26 “I have many things to say and to judge concerning you. But the One Who sent Me is true. And the things that I have heard from Him, those I speak to the world.”
27 They did not understand what He spoke to them about the Father.
28 Then Jesus said to them, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you shall know that I am He, and that I do nothing of Myself. But as My Father has taught Me, I spoke these things.
29 “For He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, because I always do those things that please Him.”
30 As He spoke these things, many believed in Him.
