Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad; and a gift destroyeth the heart.

Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.

Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools.

Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not enquire wisely concerning this.

Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun.

For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it.

Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked?







Ecclesiastes 7:7-13
King James Bible

Consider the work of God:

may Israel now say:

For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right.

Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:

Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.

The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.

The Lord is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.

Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:

Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.

Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the Lord be upon you: we bless you in the name of the Lord.




Psalm 129
King James Bible

Salmo 129

	
O Lord, thou hast deceived me, and I was deceived; thou art stronger than I, and hast prevailed: I am in derision daily, every one mocketh me.

For since I spake, I cried out, I cried violence and spoil; because the word of the Lord was made a reproach unto me, and a derision, daily.







Jeremiah 20:7-8
King James Bible

because of thy hand:

and I was deceived;

 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.

 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?

 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

 When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,

 And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.

 The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?

 Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he.

 Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?

 He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.

 Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.

 They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.

 And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.

 Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see.

 Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.

 They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.

 But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.

 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?

 His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:

 But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself.

 These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

 Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.

 Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.

 He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.

 Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?

 He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples?

 Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses' disciples.

 We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is.






John 9:1-29
King James Bible

He put clay upon mine eyes,

I am he.

Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul;

The glory of young men is their strength: and the beauty of old men is the grey head.

The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the inward parts of the belly.



Proverbs 20:29-30
King James Bible

cometh to the light,

Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?

Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands.

Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing.

Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.





Psalm 100
King James Bible

Psaume 100 (Anderlecht)

and sleep in the woods.

And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away.

And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

Consider the work of God:
