72 The Law of thy mouth is better unto me, than thousands of gold and silver.
14 [a]And he shall say, Cast up, cast up: prepare the way: take up the stumbling blocks out of the way of my people.
15 For thus saith he that is high and excellent, he that inhabiteth the eternity, whose Name is the Holy one, I dwell in the high and holy place: with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit to revive the spirit of the humble, and to give life to them that are of a contrite heart.

24 For I say unto you, that none of those men which were bidden, shall taste of my supper.
