Psalm 128

A Song of degrees.

128 Blessed is every one that feareth Jehovah, that walketh in his ways.

For thou shalt eat the labour of thy hands; happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.

Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine in the inner part of thy house; thy children like olive-plants round about thy table.

Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that feareth Jehovah.

Jehovah will bless thee out of Zion; and mayest thou see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life,

And see thy children's children. Peace be upon Israel!

Ecclesiastes 4:9-16

Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.

10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him that is alone when he falleth, and who hath not another to lift him up!

11 Again, if two lie together, then they have warmth; but how can one alone be warm?

12 And if a [man] overpower the one, the two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

13 Better is a poor but wise youth than an old and foolish king, who knoweth no more how to be admonished.

14 For out of the prison-house he came forth to reign, although he was born poor in his kingdom.

15 I saw all the living that walk under the sun, with the child, the second, that should stand up in his stead.

16 [There is] no end of all the people, of all that stood before them; those however that come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and a striving after the wind.

James 5:1-6

Go to now, ye rich, weep, howling over your miseries that [are] coming upon [you].

Your wealth is become rotten, and your garments moth-eaten.

Your gold and silver is eaten away, and their canker shall be for a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as fire. Ye have heaped up treasure in [the] last days.

Behold, the wages of your labourers, who have harvested your fields, wrongfully kept back by you, cry, and the cries of those that have reaped are entered into the ears of [the] Lord of sabaoth.

Ye have lived luxuriously on the earth and indulged yourselves; ye have nourished your hearts [as] in a day of slaughter;

ye have condemned, ye have killed the just; he does not resist you.
