Psalm 34 v 11 Come you children, listen to Me; I will teach you to revere and worshipfully fear the Lord

Proverbs 1 v 33 But whoso hearkens to Me (Wisdom) shall dwell securely and in confident trust and shall be quiet, without fear or dread of evil.

John 16 v 13 But when He the Spirit of Truth (the Truth-giving Spirit) comes, He will guide you into all the Truth (the whole full Truth). For He will not speak His own message (on His own authority); but He will tell whatever He hears (from the Father; He will give the message that has been given to Him), and He will announce and declare to you the things that are to come (that will happen in the future).

Psalm 91 v 1 HE WHO dwells in the secret place of the Most High; shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty (Whose power no foe can withstand)

Prov 9 v 1 WISDOM HAS built her house; she has hewn out and set up her seven (perfect number of) pillars. She has killed her beasts, she has mixed her (spiritual) wine; she has also set her table. Psalm 81 v 13 Oh, that My people

would listen to Me, that Israel would walk in My ways! Speedily then I would subdue their enemies and turn My hand against their adversaries. (Had Israel listened to Me in Egypt, then) those who hated the Lord would have come cringingly before Him, and their defeat would have lasted forever. Prov 24 v 27 (Put first things first)

Prov 28 v 26 .he who walks in skilful and godly Wisdom shall be delivered.

.Luke 6 v 47 For everyone who

comes to Me and listens to My words (in order to heed there teaching) and does them, I will show you what he is like; He is like a man building a house, who dug and went down deep and laid a foundation upon the rock; and when a flood arose, the torrent broke against that house and could not shake or move it, because it had been securely built or founded on a rock Jeremiah 31 v 16 Thus says the Lord; Restrain your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears, for your work shall be rewarded, says the Lord; and (your children) shall return from the enemy’s land Song of Solomon 2 v 3 Under his shadow I delighted to sit, and his fruit was sweet to my taste. He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love (for love waved as a protecting and comforting banner over my head when I was near him). Matt 7 v 24 So everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts upon them (obeying them) will be like a

sensible (prudent, practical, wise) man who built his house upon the rock. And the rain fell and the flood came and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. Submit to God, resist the devil and he will flee from you Prov16 v 7 When a man’s ways please the Lord He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him. Psalm 6 v 11 But let all those who take refuge and put their trust in You rejoice; let them ever sing and shout for joy, because You make a covering over them and defend them; let those also who love Your name be joyful in You and be in high spirits. Psalm 8 v 2 Out of the mouths of babes and unweaned infantsYou have established strength because of Your foes, that You might silence the enemy and the avenger. Do not call anything unclean that I have made clean. Psalm 34 v 22 The Lord redeems the lives of His servants, and none of those who take refuge and trust in Him shall be condemned of held guilty. Psalm 31 v 20 In the secret place of Your presence You hide them from the plots of men; You keep them secretly in Your pavilion from the strife of tongues. Luke 6 v 47 For everyone who

comes to Me and listens to My words (in order to heed there teaching) and does them, I will show you what he is like; He is like a man building a house, who dug and went down deep and laid a foundation

upon the rock; and when a flood arose, the torrent broke against that house and could not shake or move it, because it had been securely built or founded on a rock Psalm 81 v 10 I am the Lord your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide that I might fill it. Psalm 23 v 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my (brimming) cup runs over. Psalm 27 v 1 The Lord is the Refuge and Stronghold of my life-of whom shall I be afraid. Prov 25 v 15 By long forbearance and calmness of spirit a judge or ruler is persuaded, and soft speech breaks down the most bonelike resistance. John 7 v 17 If anyone desires to do His will (God’s pleasure) he will know (have the needed illumination to recognize, and can tell for himself) whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking from Myself and of My own authority. He who speaks on his own authority seeks to win honor for himself. (He whose teaching originates with himself seeks his own glory.) But He Who seeks the glory and is eager for the honor of Him Who sent Him, He is true; and there is no unrighteousness or falsehood or deception in Him. Proverbs 2 v 2 Making your ear attentive to skilful and godly Wisdom and inclining and directing your heart and mind to understanding (applying all your powers to the quest for it. Yes, if you cry out for insight and raise your voice for understanding. If you seek (Wisdom) as for silver and search for

skilful and godly Wisdom as for hidden treasure. Then you will understand the reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of (our omniscient) God. Prov 16 v 16 To get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver Prov 13 v 22 a good man leaves an inheritance (of moral stability and goodness) Psalm 34 v 7 The Angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him (who revere and worship Him with awe) and each of them He delivers. O taste and see that the Lord (our God) is good! Blessed (happy fortunate, and to be envied) is the man who trusts and takes refuge in Him. Psalm 27 v 5 In the day of trouble He will hide me in His shelter; in the secret place of His tent will He hide me, He will set me high upon a rock And now shall my head be lifted up above my enemies round about me; in His tent I will offer sacrifices and shouting of joy; I will sing, yes, I

will sing praises to the Lord Psalm 81 v 8 Hear, O My people, and I will admonish you-O Israel, if you would listen to Me! There shall no strange god be among you, neither shall you worship any alien god I will protect all that I have given you The wealth of the wicked is stored up and finds its way eventually into the hands of the righteous, for whom it was laid up Prov 15 v 6 In the house of the (uncompromisingly) righteous is great (priceless) treasure

Prov 18 v 6 A mans gift makes way for him and brings him before great men. Psalm 32 v 7 You are a hiding place for me; You, Lord, preserve me from trouble. You surround me with songs and shouts of deliverance, Selah (pause, and calmly think of that)! Choose you this day who you will

serve Psalm 22 v 30 Posterity shall serve Him; they shall tell of the Lord to the next generation. They shall come and shall declare His righteousness to a people yet to be born-that He has done it (that it is finished)! Matt 11 v 28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. (I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls.) Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am gentle (meek) and humble (lowly) in heart, and you will find rest (relief and ease and refreshment and recreation and blessed quiet) for your souls. For My yoke is wholesome (useful, good-not harsh, hard, sharp or pressing, but comfortable, gracious, and pleasant), and My burden is light and easy to be borne. Revelation 3 v 7 And to the Angel (messenger) of the assembly (church) in Philadelphia write: These are the words of the Holy One, the True One, He Who has the key of

David. Who opens and no one shall shut. Who shuts and no one shall open; I know the (record of) your works and what you are doing. See! I have set before you a door wide open which no one is able to shut; I know that you have but little power, and yet you have

kept My Word and guarded My message and have not renounced or denied My name. Take note! I will make those of the synagogue of Satan who say they are Jews and are not, but lie-behold, I will make them come and bow down before your feet and learn and acknowledge that I have loved you. Because you have kept My word of patient endurance (have held fast the lesson of My patience with the expectant endurance that I give you). I will also keep you (safe) from the hour of trial (testing) which is coming on the whole world to try those who dwell upon the earth. I am coming quickly; hold fast what you have, so that no one may rob you and deprive you of your crown.

He who overcomes (is victorious), I will make him a pillar in the sanctuary of My God; he shall never be put out of it or go out of it, and I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem which descends from My God out of heaven, and My own new name. He who can hear let him listen to and heed what the Spirit says to the assemblies (churches). Prov 14 v 1 EVERY WISE woman builds her house Proverbs 24 v 3 Through skillful and godly Wisdom is a house (a life, a home, a family) built, and by understanding it is established (on a sound and good foundation). Prov 8 v 32 Now therefore listen to Me, O you sons; for blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) are those who keep My ways. Hear instruction

and be wise, and do not refuse or neglect it. Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man who listens to me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors. Prov 9 v 5 Come, eat of my bread and drink of the (spiritual) wine which I have mixed. John 6 v 33 For the Bread of God is He Who comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world. Prov 1 v 2 That people may know skilful and godly Wisdom and instruction, Prov 28 v 14 Blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied) is the man who reverently and worshipfully fears (the Lord) at all times (regardless of circumstances) Matt 22 v 2 The kingdom of heaven is like a king who gave a wedding banquet for his son. And sent his servants to summon those who has been invited to the wedding banquet Song of Solomon 2 v 14 (while you

are here) in the seclusion of the clefts in the solid rock, in the sheltered and secret place of the cliff, let me see your face, let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet and your face is lovely. Jeremiah 7 v 23 But this thing I did

command them; Listen to and obey My voice; and I will be your God and you will be My people; and walk in the whole way that I command you; that it may be well with you.

Isiah 55 v 1 WAIT and listen, everyone who is thirsty! Come to the waters; and he who has no money, come; buy (priceless, spiritual) wine and milk without money and without price (simply for the self-surrender that accepts the blessing). Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your earnings for what does not satisfy? Hearken diligently to Me, and eat what is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness (the profuseness of spiritual joy). Incline your ear (submit and consent to the divine will) and come to Me; hear, and your soul will revive; and I will make an everlasting covenant or league with you, even the sure mercy (kindness, goodwill, and compassion) promised to David. Psalm 89 v 36 I will not lie to David;

His Offspring shall endure forever, and his throne (shall continue) as the sun before Me. Revelation 22 v 16 I am the Root (the Source) and the Offspring of David, the radiant and brilliant Morning Star. The (Holy) Spirit and the bride (the church, the true Christians) say, Come! And let him who is listening say, Come! And let everyone come who is thirsty (who is painfully conscious of his need of those things by which the soul is refreshed, supported, and strengthened); and whoever (earnestly) desires to do it, let him come, take, appropriate, and drink the water of Life without cost. Revelation 21 v 5 To the thirsty I (Myself) will give water without price from the fountain (springs) of the water of Life.

Revelation 22 v 14 Blessed (happy and to be envied) are those who cleanse their garments, that they may have the authority and right to (approach) the tree of life and to enter through the gates into the city Revelation 3 v 3 So call to mind the lessons you received and heard; continually lay them to heart and obey them, and repent. In case you will not rouse yourselves and keep awake and watch; I will come upon you like a thief, and you will not know or suspect at what hour I will come. Yet you still have a few (persons) names in Sardis who have not soiled their clothes, and they shall walk with Me in white, because they are worthy and deserving. Thus shall

he who conquers (is victorious) be clad in white garments, and I will not erase or blot out his name from the Book of Life; I will acknowledge him (as Mine) and I will confess his name openly before My Father and before His Angels. Psalm 25 v 14 The secret (of the sweet, satisfying, companionship) of the Lord have they who fear (revere and worship) Him, and He will show them His covenant and reveal to them its (deep, inner) meaning. Revelation 22 v 20 I am coming quickly (swiftly, speedily). Amen (so let it be)! Yes, come, Lord

Jesus! Romans 12 v 1 I APPEAL to you, therefore, brethren, and beg of you in view of (all) the mercies of God, to make a decisive dedication of your bodies (presenting all your members and faculties) as a living sacrifice,

holy (devoted, consecrated) and well pleasing to God, which is your reasonable (rational, intelligent) service and spiritual worship. Exekiel 48 v 35 THE LORD IS THERE Psalm 89 v 14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; mercy and loving-kindness and truth go before Your face. Song of Solomon 2 v 15 Take for us

the foxes, the little foxes that spoil the vineyards (of our love), for our vineyards are in blossom. Prov 8 v 6 Hear, for I will speak excellent and princely things; and the opening of My lips shall be for right things Prov 10 v 25 but the (uncompromisingly) righteous have an everlasting foundation.

Prov Pleasure and relaxation to the man of understanding Prov 10 v 31 The mouths of the righteous (those harmonious with God) bring forth skilful and godly Wisdom James 5 v 20 (procure the pardon of the many sins committed by the

convert). Prov The hand of the diligent will rule Prov 11 v 30 The fruit of the (uncompromisingly) righteous is a tree of life, and he who is wise captures human lives (for God, as a fisher of men-he gathers and receives them for eternity). Matt 4 v 19 And He said to them, Come after Me (as disciples-letting Me be your Guide); follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. Prov 15 v 3 Roll your works

Proverbs 6 v 21 bind them continually upon your heart and tie them about your neck. When you go they (the words of your parent’s God) shall lead you; when you sleep; they shall keep you; and when you waken, they shall talk with you.

Prov 3 v 21 My son, let them not escape from your sight, but keep sound and godly Wisdom and discretion.

John 6 v 27 Stop toiling and doing and producing for the food that perishes and decomposes (in the using), but strive and work and produce rather for the (lasting) food which endures (continually) unto life eternal); the

Proverbs 16 v 24 Pleasant words are as a honeycomb, sweet to the mind and healing to the body.

Son of Man will give (furnish) you that, for God the Father has authorized and certified Him and put His seal of endorsement upon Him. Proverbs 7 v 2 write them on the tablet of your heart

Prov 15 v 4 A gentle tongue (with its healing power) is a tree of life

Revelation 3 v 22 He who is able to hear, let him listen to and heed what the (Holy) Spirit says to the assemblies (churches).

Psalm 82 v 6 I said, You are gods (since you judge on My behalf, as My representatives); indeed, all of you are children of the Most High.

1 John 5 v 2 By this we come to know (recognise and understand) that we love the children of God; when we love God and obey His commands.

Prov 29 v 26 Many crave and seek the ruler’s favour, but the wise man (waits) for justice from the Lord

1 John 4 v 6 We are (children) of God, Whoever is learning to know God (progressively to perceive, recognize, and understand God by observation and experience, and to get an everclearer knowledge of Him) listens to us; and he who is not of God does not listen or pay attention to us. By this we know (recognize) the Spirit of Truth and the spirit of error. Jeremiah 6 v 16 Thus says the Lord; Stand by the roads and look; and ask for the eternal paths, where the our good, old way is; then walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk in it! Psalm 16 v 11 You will show me

the path of life John 15 v 5 I am the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever lives in Me and I in him bears much (abundant) fruit And the two will become one. Psalm 68 v 11 The Lord gives the word (of power); the women who bear and publish (the news) are a great host. Isiah 41 v 1 LISTEN IN silence before Me Ephesians 5 v 19 Speak out to one another in Psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, offering praise with voices (and instruments) and making

Prov 29 v 17 Correct your son; and he will give you rest; yes, he will give delight to your heart. Song of Solomon 2 v 10 My

beloved speaks and says to me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away. Proverbs 19 v 20 Hear council, receive instruction, and accept correction Revelation 3 v 20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears Psalm 32 v 7 You are a hiding place for me; You, Lord, preserve me from trouble. You surround me with songs and shouts of deliverance, Selah (pause, and calmly think of that)! Psalm 27 v 5 In the day of trouble He will hide me in His shelter; in the secret place of His tent will He hide me, He will set me high upon a rock And now shall my head be lifted up above my enemies round about me; in His tent I will offer sacrifices and shouting of joy; I will sing, yes, I

will sing praises to the Lord Jeremiah 31 v 16 Thus says the Lord; Restrain your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears, for your work shall be rewarded, says the Lord; and (your children) shall return from the enemy’s land

and listens to and heeds My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will eat with him, and he (will eat) with Me. Psalm 31 v 24 Be strong and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for and hope for and expect the Lord. Psalm 36 v 7 How precious is Your steadfast love, O God! The children of men take refuge and put their trust under the shadow of Your wings. Psalm 40 v 1 I WAITED patiently and expectantly Prov 16 v 6 By mercy and love, truth and fidelity (to God and man-not by sacrificial offerings), iniquity is purged out of the heart, and by the reverent, worshipful fear of the Lord men depart from and avoid evil. Psalm 37 v 4 Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He will give you the desires and secret petitions of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord (roll and repose each care of your load on Him); trust (lean on, rely on, and be confident) also in Him and He will bring it to pass. Psalm 37 v 7 Be still and rest in the Lord; wait for Him and patiently lean yourself upon Him; Psalm 37 v 9 but those who wait and hope and look for the Lord (in the end) shall inherit the earth. Psalm 82 v 1 GOD STANDS in

the assembly (of the representatives) of God; in the midst of the magistrates or judges. He gives judgment (as) among the gods.

Psalm 65 v 1 TO YOU belongs silence (the submissive wonder of reverence which bursts forth into praise) and praise is due and fitting to You, O God, in Zion; and toYou shall the vow be performed

Do not be hearers of the word only but doers Psalm 32 v 5 I acknowledged my sin to You Psalm 32 v 8 I (the Lord) will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with My eye upon you. Prov 10 v 8 The wise in heart will accept and obey commandments Prov 10 v 11 The mouth of the (uncompromisingly) righteous man is a well of life Proverbs 12 v 26 The (consistently) righteous man is a guide to his neighbor Prov 10 v 17 He who heeds instruction and correction is (not only himself) in the way of life (but also) is a way of life for others Psalm 33 v Psalm 34 v 5 They looked to Him and were radiant; their faces shall never blush for shame or be confused. Psalm 34 v 9 O fear the Lord, you His saints (revere and worship Him)! For there is no want to those who truly revere and worship Him with godly fear. Psalm 45 He has made my tongue like the pen of a ready writer. Psalm 27 v 4 One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek, inquire

for, and (insistently) require; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord (in His presence) all the days of my life; to behold and gaze upon the beauty (the sweet attractiveness and the delightful loveliness) of the Lord and to meditate, consider, and inquire in His temple. Psalm 27 v 7 You have said, Seek My face (inquire for and require My presence as your vital need). Psalm 36 v 7 How precious is Your steadfast love, O God! The children of men take refuge and put their trust under the shadow of Your wings. They relish and feast on the abundance of Your house; and You cause them to drink of the stream of Your pleasures. For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light do we see light. John 4 v 11 How then can You provide this living water? (Where do You get this living water?) John 4 v 14 But whoever takes a drink of the water that I will give him shall never, no never, be thirsty any more. But the water that I will give him shall become a spring of water welling up (flowing, bubbling) (continually) within him unto (into, for) eternal life. John 4 v 16 Go, call your husband and come back here. Isiah 39 v 18 And therefore the Lord (earnestly) waits (expecting, looking, and longing) to be gracious to you; and therefore He lifts Himself up, that He may have mercy on you and show loving- kindness to you. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) are all those who (earnestly) wait for Him, who expect and look and long for Him (for

His victory, His favour, His love, His peace, His joy, and His matchless, unbroken companionship. Psalm 40 v 4 Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man who makes the Lord his refuge and trust, and turns not to the proud or to followers of false gods. John 14 v 4 And (to the place) where I am going, you know the way. 1 John 5 v 2 By this we come to know (recognise and understand) that we love the children of God; when we love God and obey His commands (orders charges) – (when we keep His ordinances and are mindful of His precepts and His teaching). Ecclesiastes 12 v 10 The Preacher sought acceptable words, even to write down rightly words of truth or correct sentiment. The words of the wise are like prodding goads, and firmly fixed (in the mind) like nails are the collected sayings which are given (as proceeding) from one Shepherd. But about going further (than the words given by one Shepherd), My son, be warned. Of making books there is no end (so do not believe everything you read), and much study is a weariness of the flesh. James 3 v 14 But if you have bitter jealousy (envy) and contention (rivalry, selfish ambition) in your hearts, do not pride yourselves on it and thus be in defiance of and false to the Truth. This (superficial) wisdom is not such that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, (animal), even devilish (demonical). For wherever there is jealousy (envy) and contention (rivalry and selfish ambition), there will also be confusion (unrest, disharmony, rebellion) and all sorts of evil and vile practices

Ecclesiastes 12 v 13 All has been heard; the end of the matter is; Fear God (revere and worship Him, knowing that He is) and keep His commandments, for this is the whole of man (the full, original purpose of his creation, the object of God’s providence, the root of character, the foundation of all happiness, the adjustment to all inharmonious circumstances and conditions under the sun) and the whole duty for every man. Psalm 27 wait for and expect the Lord .
