Psalm 112

112 Praise ye Jah! O the happiness of one fearing Jehovah, In His commands he hath delighted greatly.

Mighty in the earth is his seed, The generation of the upright is blessed.

Wealth and riches [are] in his house, And his righteousness is standing for ever.

Light hath risen in darkness to the upright, Gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

Good [is] the man -- gracious and lending, He sustaineth his matters in judgment.

For -- to the age he is not moved; For a memorial age-during is the righteous.

Of an evil report he is not afraid, Prepared is His heart, confident in Jehovah.

Sustained is his heart -- he feareth not, Till that he look on his adversaries.

He hath scattered -- hath given to the needy, His righteousness is standing for ever, His horn is exalted with honour.

10 The wicked seeth, and hath been angry, His teeth he gnasheth, and hath melted, The desire of the wicked doth perish!

Proverbs 21:1-4

21 Rivulets of waters [is] the heart of a king in the hand of Jehovah, Wherever He pleaseth He inclineth it.

Every way of a man [is] right in his own eyes, And Jehovah is pondering hearts.

To do righteousness and judgment, Is chosen of Jehovah rather than sacrifice.

Loftiness of eyes, and breadth of heart, Tillage of the wicked [is] sin.

Proverbs 21:24-26

24 Proud, haughty, scorner [is] his name, Who is working in the wrath of pride.

25 The desire of the slothful slayeth him, For his hands have refused to work.

26 All the day desiring he hath desired, And the righteous giveth and withholdeth not.

Matthew 20:20-28

20 Then came near to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee, with her sons, bowing and asking something from him,

21 and he said to her, `What wilt thou?' She saith to him, `Say, that they may sit -- these my two sons -- one on thy right hand, and one on the left, in thy reign.'

22 And Jesus answering said, `Ye have not known what ye ask for yourselves; are ye able to drink of the cup that I am about to drink? and with the baptism that I am baptized with, to be baptized?' They say to him, `We are able.'

23 And he saith to them, `Of my cup indeed ye shall drink, and with the baptism that I am baptized with ye shall be baptized; but to sit on my right hand and on my left is not mine to give, but -- to those for whom it hath been prepared by my father.'

24 And the ten having heard, were much displeased with the two brothers,

25 and Jesus having called them near, said, `Ye have known that the rulers of the nations do exercise lordship over them, and those great do exercise authority over them,

26 but not so shall it be among you, but whoever may will among you to become great, let him be your ministrant;

27 and whoever may will among you to be first, let him be your servant;

28 even as the Son of Man did not come to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.'
