HE
33 Teach me, O LORD, the way of Your Statutes, and I will keep it to the end.
34 Give me understanding and I will keep Your Law, yea, I will keep it with my whole heart.
35 Direct me in the path of Your Commandments, for therein is my delight.
36 Incline my heart to Your Testimonies, and not to covetousness.
37 Turn away my eyes from vanity and quicken me in Your way.
38 Establish Your Promise in Your servant, because he fears You.
39 Take away my rebuke, which I fear, for Your Judgments are good.
40 Behold, I desire Your Commandments, quicken me in Your righteousness.
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.
7 “Judge not, that you be not judged.
2 “For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged. And with what measure you measure, it shall be measured to you again.
3 “And why do you see the splinter that is in your brother’s eye, and not perceive the beam that is in your own eye?
4 “Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me cast out the splinter from your eye’, and behold a beam is in your own eye?
5 “Hypocrite! First, cast out that beam from your own eye, and then you shall see clearly to cast out the splinter from your brother’s eye.
6 “Do not give that which is holy to dogs, nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they tread them under their feet. And, turning again, all attack you!
7 “Ask, and it shall be given you. Seek, and you shall find. Knock, and it shall be opened to you.
8 “For whoever asks, receives. And the one who seeks, finds. And to the one who knocks, it shall be opened.
9 “For what man is there among you who, if his son asks him for bread, would give him a stone?
10 “Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent?
11 “If you then, who are evil, can give to your children good gifts, how much more shall your Father, Who is in Heaven, give good things to those who ask Him?
12 “Therefore, whatever you would have men do to you, even so do to them. For this is the Law and the Prophets.
