Wisdom & Truth Verses
Every verse of God's eternal Word carries wisdom and truth. A home for all the rich teachings not captured elsewhere.
{Is} not destruction to the wicked? and a strange {punishment} to the workers of iniquity?
If I have walked with vanity, or if my foot hath hasted to deceit;
Let me be weighed in an even balance, that God may know mine integrity. {Let...: Heb. Let him weigh me in balances of justice}
{Then} let me sow, and let another eat; yea, let my offspring be rooted out.
If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or {if} I have laid wait at my neighbour's door;
For it {is} a fire {that} consumeth to destruction, and would root out all mine increase.
What then shall I do when God riseth up? and when he visiteth, what shall I answer him?
Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not one fashion us in the womb? {did not one...: or, did he not fashion us in one womb?}
If I have withheld the poor from {their} desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail;
If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or any poor without covering;
{Then} let mine arm fall from my shoulder blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone. {bone: or, chanelbone}
And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed my hand: {my mouth...: Heb. my hand hath kissed my mouth}
