Wisdom & Truth Verses
Every verse of God's eternal Word carries wisdom and truth. A home for all the rich teachings not captured elsewhere.
He hath set me in dark places, as {they that be} dead of old.
He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he hath made my chain heavy.
He {was} unto me {as} a bear lying in wait, {and as} a lion in secret places.
He hath bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.
He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath made me drunken with wormwood. {bitterness: Heb. bitternesses}
He hath also broken my teeth with gravel stones, he hath covered me with ashes. {covered...: or, rolled me in the ashes}
Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall. {Remembering: or, Remember}
The LORD {is} good unto them that wait for him, to the soul {that} seeketh him.
{It is} good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
He sitteth alone and keepeth silence, because he hath borne {it} upon him.
He giveth {his} cheek to him that smiteth him: he is filled full with reproach.
