Wisdom & Truth Verses
Every verse of God's eternal Word carries wisdom and truth. A home for all the rich teachings not captured elsewhere.
{Art} thou the first man {that} was born? or wast thou made before the hills?
What knowest thou, that we know not? {what} understandest thou, which {is} not in us?
{Are} the consolations of God small with thee? is there any secret thing with thee?
That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest {such} words go out of thy mouth?
How much more abominable and filthy {is} man, which drinketh iniquity like water?
I will shew thee, hear me; and that {which} I have seen I will declare;
Unto whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger passed among them.
The wicked man travaileth with pain all {his} days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.
He wandereth abroad for bread, {saying}, Where {is it}? he knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
Because he covereth his face with his fatness, and maketh collops of fat on {his} flanks.
And he dwelleth in desolate cities, {and} in houses which no man inhabiteth, which are ready to become heaps.
He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof upon the earth.
