Proverbs 5:1-6

Gen 50:1  And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon him, and kissed him.

Gen 50:2  And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel.

Gen 50:3  And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of those which are embalmed: and the Egyptians mourned for him threescore and ten days.

Gen 50:4  And when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spake unto the house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found grace in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,

Gen 50:5  My father made me swear, saying, Lo, I die: in my grave which I have digged for me in the land of Canaan, there shalt thou bury me. Now therefore let me go up, I pray thee, and bury my father, and I will come again.

Gen 50:6  And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according as he made thee swear.

Gen 50:7  And Joseph went up to bury his father: and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,

Gen 50:8  And all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and his father's house: only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen.

Gen 50:10  And they came to the threshingfloor of Atad, which is beyond Jordan, and there they mourned with a great and very sore lamentation: and he made a mourning for his father seven days.

Gen 50:11  And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, This is a grievous mourning to the Egyptians: wherefore the name of it was called Abelmizraim, which is beyond Jordan.

Gen 50:12  And his sons did unto him according as he commanded them:

Gen 50:13  For his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field for a possession of a buryingplace of Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre.

Gen 50:14  And Joseph returned into Egypt, he, and his brethren, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.

Gen 50:15  And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, Joseph will peradventure hate us, and will certainly requite us all the evil which we did unto him.

Gen 50:16  And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did command before he died, saying,

Gen 50:17  So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did unto thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spake unto him.

Gen 50:18  And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we be thy servants.

Gen 50:19  And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God?

Gen 50:20  But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.

Gen 50:24  And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die: and God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land unto the land which he sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

Gen 50:25  And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence.

Gen 50:26  So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.

Exo 2:1  And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi.

Exo 2:2  And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.

Exo 2:3  And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink.

Exo 2:4  And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him.

Exo 2:5  And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river's side; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it.

Exo 2:6  And when she had opened it, she saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews' children.

Exo 2:7  Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee?

Exo 2:8  And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child's mother.

Exo 2:9  And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the woman took the child, and nursed it.

Mat 16:23  But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.

Mat 16:24  Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

Mat 16:25  For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

Mat 16:26  For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

Mat 16:27  For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.

Psa 21:1  To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!

Psa 21:2  Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah.

Psa 21:3  For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head.

Psa 21:4  He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days for ever and ever.

Psa 21:5  His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him.

Psa 21:6  For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance.

Psa 21:7  For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.

Psa 21:8  Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.

Psa 21:10  Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.

Psa 21:11  For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.

Psa 21:12  Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, when thou shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of them.

Psa 21:13  Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power.

Pro 5:1  My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding:

Pro 5:2  That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.

Pro 5:3  For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:

Pro 5:4  But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword.

Pro 5:5  Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.

Pro 5:6  Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.
