My lips pour forth praise, for You teach me Your statutes.

If your sons keep My covenant and the testimony I will teach them, then their sons will also sit on your throne forever and ever.”

Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God. May Your good Spirit lead me on level ground.

Of David. Blessed be the LORD, my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle.

I did not listen to the voice of my teachers or incline my ear to my mentors.

I have not learned wisdom, and I have no knowledge of the Holy One.

Not only was the Teacher wise, but he also taught the people knowledge; he pondered, searched out, and arranged many proverbs.

All are skilled with the sword, experienced in warfare. Each has his sword at his side prepared for the terror of the night.

I would lead you and bring you to the house of my mother who taught me. I would give you spiced wine to drink, the nectar of my pomegranates.

Learn to do right; seek justice and correct the oppressor. Defend the fatherless and plead the case of the widow.”

Then He will judge between the nations and arbitrate for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will no longer take up the sword against nation, nor train anymore for war.

My soul longs for You in the night; indeed, my spirit seeks You at dawn. For when Your judgments come upon the earth, the people of the world learn righteousness.

Though grace is shown to the wicked man, he does not learn righteousness. In the land of righteousness he acts unjustly and fails to see the majesty of the LORD.

Therefore the Lord said: “These people draw near to Me with their mouths and honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me. Their worship of Me is but rules taught by men.

Then the wayward in spirit will come to understanding, and those who grumble will accept instruction.”

Whom did He consult to enlighten Him, and who taught Him the paths of justice? Who imparted knowledge to Him and showed Him the way of understanding?

Thus says the LORD your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “I am the LORD your God, who teaches you for your benefit, who directs you in the way you should go.

How skillfully you pursue love! Even the most immoral of women could learn from your ways.

Each one betrays his friend; no one tells the truth. They have taught their tongues to lie; they wear themselves out committing iniquity.

Instead, they have followed the stubbornness of their hearts and gone after the Baals, as their fathers taught them.”

Now, O women, hear the word of the LORD. Open your ears to the word of His mouth. Teach your daughters to wail, and one another to lament.

This is what the LORD says: “Do not learn the ways of the nations or be terrified by the signs in the heavens, though the nations themselves are terrified by them.

And if they will diligently learn the ways of My people and swear by My name, saying, ‘As surely as the LORD lives’—just as they once taught My people to swear by Baal—then they will be established among My people.

What will you say when He sets over you close allies whom you yourself trained? Will not pangs of anguish grip you, as they do a woman in labor?

I have surely heard Ephraim’s moaning: ‘You disciplined me severely, like an untrained calf. Restore me, that I may return, for You are the LORD my God.

No longer will each man teach his neighbor or his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ because they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquities and will remember their sins no more.”

They have turned their backs to Me and not their faces. Though I taught them again and again, they would not listen or respond to discipline.

She brought up one of her cubs, and he became a young lion. After learning to tear his prey, he devoured men.

He prowled among the lions, and became a young lion. After learning to tear his prey, he devoured men.

…young men without blemish, handsome, gifted in all wisdom, knowledgeable, quick to understand, and qualified to serve in the king’s palace—and to teach them the language and literature of the Chaldeans.

Ephraim is a well-trained heifer that loves to thresh; but I will place a yoke on her fair neck. I will harness Ephraim, Judah will plow, and Jacob will break the hard ground.

Then He will judge between many peoples and arbitrate for strong nations far and wide. Then they will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will no longer take up the sword against nation, nor will they train anymore for war.
