Numbers Chapter 34

¹Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, ²"Command the children of Israel, and tell them, 'When you enter the land of Canaan (this is the land that shall fall to you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan according to its borders), ³then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the side of Edom, and your south border shall be from the end of the Salt Sea eastward. ⁴Your border shall turn about southward of the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass along to Zin; and it shall pass southward of Kadesh Barnea; and it shall go from there to Hazar Addar, and pass along to Azmon. ⁵The border shall turn about from Azmon to the brook of Egypt, and it shall end at the sea.

⁶"'For the western border, You'll have the great sea and [its] border. This will be your west border.

⁷"'This will be your north border: from the great sea mark out for yourselves Mount Hor. ⁸from Mount Hor mark out to the entrance of Hamath; and the border will pass by Zedad. ⁹Then the border shall go to Ziphron, and it shall end at Hazar Enan. This shall be your north border.

¹⁰"'Mark out your east border from Hazar Enan to Shepham. ¹¹The border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain. The border shall go down, and shall reach to the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward. ¹²The border shall go down to the Jordan, and end at the Salt Sea. This shall be your land according to its borders around it.'"

Ezekiel Chapter 23

²⁸For thus says LordOfMine Yahweh: Behold, I will deliver you into the hand of them whom you hate, into the hand of them from whom your soul is alienated; ²⁹and they shall deal with you in hatred, and shall take away all your labor, and shall leave you naked and bare; and the nakedness of your prostitution shall be uncovered, both your lewdness and your prostitution. ³⁰These things shall be done to you, because you have played the prostitute after the nations, and because you are polluted with their idols. ³¹You have walked in the way of your sister; therefore I will give her cup into your hand.

³²Thus says LordOfMine Yahweh: You will drink of your sister's cup, which is deep and large; you will be ridiculed and held in derision; it contains much. ³³You shall be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of your sister Samaria. ³⁴You shall even drink it and drain it out, and you shall gnaw the broken pieces of it, and shall tear your breasts; for I have spoken it, says LordOfMine Yahweh.

³⁵Therefore thus says LordOfMine Yahweh: Because you have forgotten me, and thrown me behind your back, therefore you also bear your lewdness and your prostitution.

³⁶Yahweh said moreover to me: Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah? then declare to them their abominations. ³⁷For they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands; and with their idols have they committed adultery; and they have also caused their sons, whom they bore to me, to pass through [the fire] to them to be devoured. ³⁸Moreover this they have done to me: they have defiled my sanctuary on the same day, and have profaned my Sabbaths. ³⁹For when they had slaughtered their children to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and behold, thus have they done in the midst of my house.

⁴⁰Furthermore you [sisters] have sent for men who come from far away, to whom a messenger was sent, and behold, they came; for whom you washed yourself, painted your eyes, decorated yourself with ornaments, ⁴¹and sit on a stately bed, with a table prepared before it, whereupon you set my incense and my oil.

⁴²The voice of a multitude being at ease was with her: and with men of the common sort were brought drunkards from the wilderness; and they put bracelets on the hands of them [twain], and beautiful crowns on their heads. ⁴³Then I said of her who was old in adulteries, Now will they play the prostitute with her, and she [with them]. ⁴⁴They went in to her, as they go in to a prostitute: so went they in to Oholah and to Oholibah, the lewd women. ⁴⁵Righteous men, they shall judge them with the judgment of adulteresses, and with the judgment of women who shed blood; because they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands.

⁴⁶For thus says LordOfMine Yahweh: I will bring up a company against them, and will give them to be tossed back and forth and robbed. ⁴⁷The company will stone them with stones and dispatch them with their swords. They will kill their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses with fire.

⁴⁸Thus I will cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to imitate your lewdness. ⁴⁹They shall recompense your lewdness on you, and you shall bear the sins of your idols; and you shall know that I am LordOfMine Yahweh.

Ezekiel Chapter 24

¹Again, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth [day] of the month, the word of Yahweh came to me, saying, ²Son of man, write the name of the day, [even] of this same day: the king of Babylon drew close to Jerusalem this same day. ³Utter a parable to the rebellious house, and tell them, Thus says LordOfMine Yahweh, Set on the cauldron, set it on, and also pour water into it: ⁴gather its pieces into it, even every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones. ⁵Take the choice of the flock, and also a pile [of wood] for the bones under [the cauldron]; make it boil well; yes, let its bones be boiled in its midst.

Proverbs Chapter 11

¹A false balance is an abomination to Yahweh, but accurate weights are his delight. ²When pride comes, then comes shame, but with humility comes wisdom. ³The integrity of the upright shall guide them, but the perverseness of the treacherous shall destroy them. ⁴Riches don't profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death. ⁵The righteousness of the blameless will direct his way, but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness. ⁶The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them, but the unfaithful will be trapped by evil desires. ⁷When a wicked man dies, hope perishes, and expectation of power comes to nothing. ⁸A righteous person is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked takes his place. ⁹With his mouth the godless man destroys his neighbor, but the righteous will be delivered through knowledge. ¹⁰When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices. When the wicked perish, there is shouting. ¹¹By the blessing of the upright, the city is exalted, but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked. ¹²One who despises his neighbor is void of wisdom, but a man of understanding holds his peace. ¹³One who brings gossip betrays a confidence, but one who is of a trustworthy spirit is one who keeps a secret. ¹⁴Where there is no wise guidance, the nation falls, but in the multitude of counselors there is victory. ¹⁵He who is collateral for a stranger will suffer for it, but he who refuses pledges of collateral is secure. ¹⁶A gracious woman obtains honor, but violent men obtain riches. ¹⁷The merciful man does good to his own soul, but he who is cruel troubles his own flesh. ¹⁸Wicked people earn deceitful wages, but one who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward. ¹⁹He who is truly righteous gets life. He who pursues evil gets death. ²⁰Those who are perverse in heart are an abomination to Yahweh, but those whose ways are blameless are his delight. ²¹Most certainly, the evil man will not be unpunished, but the offspring of the righteous will be delivered. ²²Like a gold ring in a pig's snout, is a beautiful woman who lacks discretion. ²³The desire of the righteous is only good. The expectation of the wicked is wrath. ²⁴There is one who scatters, and increases yet more. There is one who withholds more than is appropriate, but gains poverty. ²⁵The liberal soul shall be made fat. He who waters shall be watered also himself. ²⁶People curse someone who withholds grain, but blessing will be on the head of him who sells it. ²⁷He who diligently seeks good seeks favor, but he who searches after evil, it shall come to him. ²⁸He who trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous shall flourish as the green leaf. ²⁹He who troubles his own house shall inherit the wind. The foolish shall be servant to the wise of heart. ³⁰The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life. He who is wise wins souls. ³¹Behold, the righteous shall be repaid in the earth; how much more the wicked and the sinner!

1 Timothy Chapter 2

¹So I exhort, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving be made for all men: ²for kings and all who are in high places, that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all reverence and dignity. ³For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, ⁴who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth. ⁵For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man AnointedOne Jesus, ⁶who gave himself as a ransom for all, the testimony in its own times, ⁷to which I was appointed a preacher and an ambassador (I am telling the truth in AnointedOne, not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

⁸So I desire that the men in every place pray, lifting up holy hands without anger and doubting. ⁹In the same way, that women also adorn themselves in decent clothing, with modesty and propriety, not just with braided hair, gold, pearls, or expensive clothing, ¹⁰but with good actions, which is appropriate for women professing godliness. ¹¹Let a woman learn in quietness with full submission. ¹²But I don't permit a woman to teach, nor to exercise authority over a man, but to be in quietness. ¹³For Adam was formed first, then Eve. ¹⁴Adam wasn't deceived, but the woman, being deceived, has fallen into disobedience; ¹⁵but she will be saved through her childbearing, if they continue in faith, selfless-love, and sanctification with sobriety.

1 Timothy Chapter 3

¹This is a faithful saying: someone who seeks to be an overseer desires a good work. ²So the overseer must be without reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, sensible, modest, hospitable, good at teaching; ³not a drinker, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous; ⁴one who rules his own house well, having children in subjection with all dignity; ⁵(for how could someone who doesn't know how to rule his own house take care of God's assembly?) ⁶Not a new convert, lest being puffed up he fall into the same condemnation as the devil. ⁷Moreover he must have good testimony from those who are outside, to avoid falling into reproach and the snare of the devil.

⁸Servants, in the same way, must be reverent, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, not greedy for money, ⁹holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. ¹⁰Let them also first be tested; then let them serve if they are blameless. ¹¹Their wives in the same way must be reverent, not slanderers, temperate, and faithful in all things. ¹²Let servants be husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. ¹³For those who have served well gain for themselves a good standing, and great boldness in the faith which is in AnointedOne Jesus.
