Wisdom & Truth Verses
Every verse of God's eternal Word carries wisdom and truth. A home for all the rich teachings not captured elsewhere.

Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not increase {thy wealth} by their price. {for...: Heb. without riches}
Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us.
My confusion {is} continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,
All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.
Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death.
If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god;
Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.
Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.
Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast {us} not off for ever.
Wherefore hidest thou thy face, {and} forgettest our affliction and our oppression?
For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth unto the earth.
