Jer 8:8  How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain. 

Jer 8:9  The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom is in them? 

Jer 8:10  Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to them that shall inherit them: for every one from the least even unto the greatest is given to covetousness, from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely. 

Jer 8:11  For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace. 

Jer 8:12  Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, saith the LORD. 

Jer 8:13  I will surely consume them, saith the LORD: there shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them. 

Jer 8:14  Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the defenced cities, and let us be silent there: for the LORD our God hath put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD. 

Jer 8:15  We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of health, and behold trouble!

Jer 8:18  When I would comfort myself against sorrow, my heart is faint in me.

Jer 9:7  Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will melt them, and try them; for how shall I do for the daughter of my people? 

Jer 9:8  Their tongue is as an arrow shot out; it speaketh deceit: one speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in heart he layeth his wait. 

Jer 9:9  Shall I not visit them for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this? 

Jer 9:10  For the mountains will I take up a weeping and wailing, and for the habitations of the wilderness a lamentation, because they are burned up, so that none can pass through them; neither can men hear the voice of the cattle; both the fowl of the heavens and the beast are fled; they are gone. 

Jer 9:11  And I will make Jerusalem heaps, and a den of dragons; and I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant. 

Jer 9:12  Who is the wise man, that may understand this? and who is he to whom the mouth of the LORD hath spoken, that he may declare it, for what the land perisheth and is burned up like a wilderness, that none passeth through? 

Jer 9:13  And the LORD saith, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein; 

Jer 9:14  But have walked after the imagination of their own heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them: 

Jer 9:15  Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink. 

Jer 9:16  I will scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they nor their fathers have known: and I will send a sword after them, till I have consumed them.

Jer 9:23  Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: 

Jer 9:24  But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD. 

Jer 9:25  Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will punish all them which are circumcised with the uncircumcised; 

Jer 9:26  Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all that are in the utmost corners, that dwell in the wilderness: for all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart. 

 

Col 3:1  If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 

Col 3:2  Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 

Col 3:3  For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 

Col 3:4  When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. 

Col 3:5  Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 

Col 3:6  For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: 

Col 3:7  In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them. 

Col 3:8  But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. 

Col 3:9  Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; 

Col 3:10  And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: 

Col 3:11  Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all. 

Col 3:12  Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 

Col 3:13  Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. 

Col 3:14  And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. 

Col 3:15  And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. 

Col 3:16  Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 

Col 3:17  And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. 

 

Psa 78:32  For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works. 

Psa 78:33  Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble. 

Psa 78:34  When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and enquired early after God. 

Psa 78:35  And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer. 

Psa 78:36  Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues. 

Psa 78:37  For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant. 

Psa 78:38  But he, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath. 

Psa 78:39  For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again. 

Psa 78:40  How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert! 

Psa 78:41  Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel. 

Psa 78:42  They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy. 

Psa 78:43  How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan: 

Psa 78:44  And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could not drink. 

Psa 78:45  He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them. 

Psa 78:46  He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller, and their labour unto the locust. 

Psa 78:47  He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycomore trees with frost. 

Psa 78:48  He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts. 

Psa 78:49  He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them. 

Psa 78:50  He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence; 

Psa 78:51  And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham: 

Psa 78:52  But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock. 

Psa 78:53  And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed their enemies. 

Psa 78:54  And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, even to this mountain, which his right hand had purchased. 

Psa 78:55  He cast out the heathen also before them, and divided them an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents. 

 

Pro 24:27  Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself in the field; and afterwards build thine house.
