Who provides food for the raven when its young cry out to God as they wander about for lack of food?

Yet when she proudly spreads her wings, she laughs at the horse and its rider.

He is like a tree planted by streams of water, yielding its fruit in season, whose leaf does not wither, and who prospers in all he does.

Redeem Israel, O God, from all its distress.

A horse is a vain hope for salvation; even its great strength cannot save.

Their venom is like the venom of a snake, like a cobra that shuts its ears,

Like a slug that dissolves in its slime, like a woman’s stillborn child, may they never see the sun.

You have shaken the land and torn it open. Heal its fractures, for it is quaking.

You soak its furrows and level its ridges; You soften it with showers and bless its growth.

You soak its furrows and level its ridges; You soften it with showers and bless its growth.

The earth has yielded its harvest; God, our God, blesses us.

Do not let the floods engulf me or the depths swallow me up; let not the Pit close its mouth over me.

May there be an abundance of grain in the land; may it sway atop the hills. May its fruit trees flourish like the forests of Lebanon, the people of its cities like the grass of the field.

The mountains were covered by its shade, and the mighty cedars with its branches.

Why have You broken down its walls, so that all who pass by pick its fruit?

The LORD will indeed provide what is good, and our land will yield its increase.

You rule the raging sea; when its waves mount up, You still them.

The heavens are Yours, and also the earth. The earth and its fullness You founded.

…when the wind passes over, it vanishes, and its place remembers it no more.

He set the earth on its foundations, never to be moved.

…and fruitful land into fields of salt, because of the wickedness of its dwellers.

The upright see and rejoice, and all iniquity shuts its mouth.

A song of ascents. Of Solomon. Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain; unless the LORD protects the city, its watchmen stand guard in vain.

Remember, O LORD, the sons of Edom on the day Jerusalem fell: “Destroy it,” they said, “tear it down to its foundations!”

Such is the fate of all who are greedy, whose unjust gain takes the lives of its possessors.

Walk in the manner of the ant, O slacker; observe its ways and become wise.

…it prepares its provisions in summer; it gathers its food at harvest.

A shrewd man keeps his knowledge to himself, but a foolish heart proclaims its folly.

The heart knows its own bitterness, and no stranger shares in its joy.

There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.

Understanding is a fountain of life to its possessor, but the discipline of fools is folly.

There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.

The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the LORD.

A bribe is a charm to its giver; wherever he turns, he succeeds.

Life and death are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.

…through knowledge its rooms are filled with every precious and beautiful treasure.

As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his folly.

As a door turns on its hinges, so the slacker turns on his bed.

Like a bird that strays from its nest is a man who wanders from his home.

Whoever tends a fig tree will eat its fruit, and he who looks after his master will be honored.

The wind blows southward, then turns northward; round and round it swirls, ever returning on its course.

He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men, yet they cannot fathom the work that God has done from beginning to end.

There is a grievous evil I have seen under the sun: wealth hoarded to the harm of its owner,

For wisdom, like money, is a shelter, and the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the life of its owner.

I saw every work of God, and that a man is unable to comprehend the work that is done under the sun. Despite his efforts to search it out, he cannot find its meaning; even if the wise man claims to know, he is unable to comprehend.

…when men fear the heights and dangers of the road, when the almond tree blossoms, the grasshopper loses its spring, and the caper berry shrivels—for then man goes to his eternal home and mourners walk the streets.

While the king was at his table, my perfume spread its fragrance.

The fig tree ripens its figs; the blossoming vines spread their fragrance. Arise, come away, my darling; come away with me, my beautiful one.”

Your teeth are like a flock of newly shorn sheep coming up from the washing; each has its twin, and not one of them is lost.

Awake, O north wind, and come, O south wind. Breathe on my garden and spread the fragrance of its spices. Let my beloved come into his garden and taste its choicest fruits.

I said, “I will climb the palm tree; I will take hold of its fruit.” May your breasts be like clusters of the vine, the fragrance of your breath like apples,

Set me as a seal over your heart, as a seal upon your arm. For love is as strong as death, its jealousy as unrelenting as Sheol. Its sparks are fiery flames, the fiercest blaze of all.

Solomon had a vineyard in Baal-hamon. He leased it to the tenants. For its fruit, each was to bring a thousand shekels of silver.

But my own vineyard is mine to give; the thousand shekels are for you, O Solomon, and two hundred are for those who tend its fruit.

The ox knows its owner, and the donkey its master’s manger, but Israel does not know; My people do not understand.”

Now I will tell you what I am about to do to My vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it will be consumed; I will tear down its wall, and it will be trampled.

…the Lord will surely bring against them the mighty floodwaters of the Euphrates—the king of Assyria and all his pomp. It will overflow its channels and overrun its banks.

…the Lord will surely bring against them the mighty floodwaters of the Euphrates—the king of Assyria and all his pomp. It will overflow its channels and overrun its banks.

It will pour into Judah, swirling and sweeping over it, reaching up to the neck; its spreading streams will cover your entire land, O Immanuel!

You have enlarged the nation and increased its joy. The people rejoice before You as they rejoice at harvest time, as men rejoice in dividing the plunder.

…and as I have done to Samaria and its idols, will I not also do to Jerusalem and her idols?”

And the Light of Israel will become a fire, and its Holy One a flame. In a single day it will burn and devour Assyria’s thorns and thistles.

The splendor of its forests and orchards, both soul and body, it will completely destroy, as a sickness consumes a man.

The remaining trees of its forests will be so few that a child could count them.

For the stars of heaven and their constellations will not give their light. The rising sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light.

I will punish the world for its evil and the wicked for their iniquity. I will end the haughtiness of the arrogant and lay low the pride of the ruthless.

Therefore I will make the heavens tremble, and the earth will be shaken from its place at the wrath of the LORD of Hosts on the day of His burning anger.

The nations will escort Israel and bring it to its homeland. Then the house of Israel will possess the nations as menservants and maidservants in the LORD’s land. They will make captives of their captors and rule over their oppressors.

…who turned the world into a desert and destroyed its cities, who refused to let the captives return to their homes?”

Do not rejoice, all you Philistines, that the rod that struck you is broken. For a viper will spring from the root of the snake, and a flying serpent from its egg.

Wail, O gate! Cry out, O city! Melt away, all you Philistines! For a cloud of smoke comes from the north, and there are no stragglers in its ranks.

Dibon goes up to its temple to weep at its high places. Moab wails over Nebo, as well as over Medeba. Every head is shaved, every beard is cut off.

Dibon goes up to its temple to weep at its high places. Moab wails over Nebo, as well as over Medeba. Every head is shaved, every beard is cut off.

In its streets they wear sackcloth; on the rooftops and in the public squares they all wail, falling down weeping.

For the fields of Heshbon have withered, along with the grapevines of Sibmah. The rulers of the nations have trampled its choicest vines, which had reached as far as Jazer and spread toward the desert. Their shoots had spread out and passed over the sea.

Yet gleanings will remain, like an olive tree that has been beaten—two or three berries atop the tree, four or five on its fruitful branches,” declares the LORD, the God of Israel.
