53:1<To the chief music-maker; put to Mahalath. Maschil. Of David.> The foolish man has said in his heart, God will not do anything. They are unclean, they have done evil works; there is not one who does good. 53:2 God was looking down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any who had wisdom, searching after God. 53:3 Every one of them has gone back; they are unclean: there is not one who does good, no, not one.

8:23 And he said to them, You are of the earth; I am from heaven: you are of this world; I am not of this world.

8:24 For this reason I said to you that death will overtake you in your sins: for if you have not faith that I am he, death will come to you while you are in your sins.

1:20 Where is the wise? where is he who has knowledge of the law? where is the man of this world who has a love of discussion? has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 1:21 For because, by the purpose of God, the world, with all its wisdom, had not the knowledge of God, it was God's pleasure, by so foolish a thing as preaching, to give salvation to those who had faith in him. 1:22 Seeing that the Jews make request for signs, and the Greeks are looking for knowledge: 1:23 But we give the good news of Christ on the cross, a hard thing to the Jews, and a foolish thing to the Gentiles; 1:24 But to those of God's selection, Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power and the wisdom of God. 1:25 Because what seems foolish in God is wiser than men; and what seems feeble in God is stronger than men. 1:26 For you see God's design for you, my brothers, that he has not taken a great number of the wise after the flesh, not the strong, not the noble: 1:27 But God made selection of the foolish things of this world so that he might put the wise to shame; and the feeble things that he might put to shame the strong; 1:28 And the low things of the world, and the things without honour, did God make selection of, yes, even the things which are not, so that he might make as nothing the things which are: 1:29 So that no flesh might have glory before God. 1:30 But God has given you a place in Christ Jesus, through whom God has given us wisdom and righteousness and salvation, and made us holy: 1:31 So that, as it is said in the holy Writings, Whoever has a desire for glory, let his glory be in the Lord.

55:6 Make search for the Lord while he is there, make prayer to him while he is near: 55:7 Let the sinner give up his way, and the evil-doer his purpose: and let him come back to the Lord, and he will have mercy on him; and to our God, for there is full forgiveness with him. 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, or your ways my ways, says the Lord. 55:9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. 55:10 For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and does not go back again, but gives water to the earth, and makes it fertile, giving seed to the planter, and bread for food; 55:11 So will my word be which goes out of my mouth: it will not come back to me with nothing done, but it will give effect to my purpose, and do that for which I have sent it.

6:4 Give ear, O Israel: the Lord our God is one Lord: 6:5 And the Lord your God is to be loved with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6:6 Keep these words, which I say to you this day, deep in your hearts; 6:7 Teaching them to your children with all care, talking of them when you are at rest in your house or walking by the way, when you go to sleep and when you get up. 6:8 Let them be fixed as a sign on your hand, and marked on your brow; 6:9 Have them lettered on the pillars of your houses and over the doors of your towns.

13:52 And he said to them, For this reason every scribe who has become a disciple of the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house, who gives out from his store things new and old.

50:10 Who among you has the fear of the Lord, giving ear to the voice of his servant who has been walking in the dark and has no light? Let him put his faith in the name of the Lord, looking to his God for support. 50:11 See, all you who make a fire, arming yourselves with burning branches: go in the flame of your fire, and among the branches you have put a light to. This will you have from my hand, you will make your bed in sorrow.
