…saying, “Come, let us erase them as a nation; may the name of Israel be remembered no more.”

How blessed are those who dwell in Your house! They are ever praising You. Selah

I am forsaken among the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom You remember no more, who are cut off from Your care.

In old age they will still bear fruit; healthy and green they will remain,

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

I will sing to the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.

May sinners vanish from the earth and the wicked be no more. Bless the LORD, O my soul. Hallelujah!

If I were to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand; and when I awake, I am still with You.

Let the righteous man strike me; let his rebuke be an act of loving devotion. It is oil for my head; let me not refuse it. For my prayer is ever against the deeds of the wicked.

I will praise the LORD all my life; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.

Instruct a wise man, and he will be wiser still; teach a righteous man, and he will increase his learning.

One gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds what is right, only to become poor.

A man of great anger must pay the penalty; if you rescue him, you will have to do so again.

“They struck me, but I feel no pain! They beat me, but I did not know it! When can I wake up to search for another drink?”

Let him drink and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.

She rises while it is still night to provide food for her household and portions for her maidservants.

Furthermore, I saw under the sun that in the place of judgment there is wickedness, and in the place of righteousness there is wickedness.

Better is a poor but wise youth than an old but foolish king who no longer knows how to take a warning.

While my soul was still searching but not finding, among a thousand I have found one upright man, but among all these I have not found one such woman.

For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing. They have no further reward, because the memory of them is forgotten.

Their love, their hate, and their envy have already vanished, and they will never again have a share in all that is done under the sun.

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

Why do you want more beatings? Why do you keep rebelling? Your head has a massive wound, and your whole heart is afflicted.

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.

What more could have been done for My vineyard than I have done for it? Why, when I expected sweet grapes, did it bring forth sour fruit?

Therefore the anger of the LORD burns against His people; His hand is raised against them to strike them down. The mountains quake, and the corpses lie like refuse in the streets. Despite all this, His anger is not turned away; His hand is still upraised.

And though a tenth remains in the land, it will be burned again. As the terebinth and oak leave stumps when felled, so the holy seed will be a stump in the land.”

For the head of Aram is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin. Within sixty-five years Ephraim will be shattered as a people.

And the LORD spoke to me further:

Aram from the east and Philistia from the west have devoured Israel with open mouths. Despite all this, His anger is not turned away; His hand is still upraised.

Therefore the Lord takes no pleasure in their young men; He has no compassion on their fatherless and widows. For every one of them is godless and wicked, and every mouth speaks folly. Despite all this, His anger is not turned away; His hand is still upraised.

Manasseh devours Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasseh; together they turn against Judah. Despite all this, His anger is not turned away; His hand is still upraised.

Nothing will remain but to crouch among the captives or fall among the slain. Despite all this, His anger is not turned away; His hand is still upraised.

On that day the remnant of Israel and the survivors of the house of Jacob will no longer depend on him who struck them, but they will truly rely on the LORD, the Holy One of Israel.

For in just a little while My fury against you will subside, and My anger will turn to their destruction.”

Yet today they will halt at Nob, shaking a fist at the mount of Daughter Zion, at the hill of Jerusalem.

For the LORD will have compassion on Jacob; once again He will choose Israel and settle them in their own land. The foreigner will join them and unite with the house of Jacob.

For this is what the Lord says to me: “Within one year, as a hired worker would count it, all the glory of Kedar will be gone.

Cultivate your land like the Nile, O Daughter of Tarshish; there is no longer a harbor.

He said, “You shall rejoice no more, O oppressed Virgin Daughter of Sidon. Get up and cross over to Cyprus—even there you will find no rest.”

For behold, the LORD is coming out of His dwelling to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity. The earth will reveal her bloodshed and will no longer conceal her slain.

The fading flower of his beautiful splendor, set on the summit above the fertile valley, will be like a ripe fig before the summer harvest: Whoever sees it will take it in his hand and swallow it.

In a very short time, will not Lebanon become an orchard, and the orchard seem like a forest?

The Lord will give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, but your Teacher will no longer hide Himself—with your own eyes you will see Him.

No longer will a fool be called noble, nor a scoundrel be respected.

I said, “I will never again see the LORD, even the LORD, in the land of the living; I will no longer look on mankind with those who dwell in this world.

I am the LORD, and there is no other; there is no God but Me. I will equip you for battle, though you have not known Me,

…so that all may know, from where the sun rises to where it sets, that there is none but Me; I am the LORD, and there is no other.

This is what the LORD says: “The products of Egypt and the merchandise of Cush, along with the Sabeans, men of stature, will come over to you and will be yours; they will trudge behind you; they will come over in chains and bow down to you. They will confess to you: ‘God is indeed with you, and there is no other; there is no other God.’”

For thus says the LORD, who created the heavens—He is God; He formed the earth and fashioned it; He established it; He did not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited: “I am the LORD, and there is no other.
