Wisdom & Truth Verses
Every verse of God's eternal Word carries wisdom and truth. A home for all the rich teachings not captured elsewhere.
Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;
Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me.
My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.
Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me. {overwhelmed: Heb. covered}
I would hasten my escape from the windy storm {and} tempest.
Destroy, O Lord, {and} divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
Wickedness {is} in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets.
Let death seize upon them, {and} let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness {is} in their dwellings, {and} among them. {hell: or, the grave}
Mine enemies would daily swallow {me} up: for {they be} many that fight against me, O thou most High. {enemies: Heb. observers}
They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.
Shall they escape by iniquity? in {thine} anger cast down the people, O God.
Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: {are they} not in thy book?
