Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:

But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;

But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:

But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:

That no flesh should glory in his presence.

But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

it is revealed to them.

And Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years old: these were the years of the life of Sarah.

Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, do ye so mock him?

 He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons.

 Shall not his excellency make you afraid? and his dread fall upon you?

 Your remembrances are like unto ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay.

 Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what will.

 Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in mine hand?

 Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.

 He also shall be my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him.

 Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears.

 Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified.

 Who is he that will plead with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost.

 Only do not two things unto me: then will I not hide myself from thee.

 Withdraw thine hand far from me: and let not thy dread make me afraid.

 Then call thou, and I will answer: or let me speak, and answer thou me.

 How many are mine iniquities and sins? make me to know my transgression and my sin.

 Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemy?

 Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble?

 For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to possess the iniquities of my youth.

 Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and lookest narrowly unto all my paths; thou settest a print upon the heels of my feet.

 And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth, as a garment that is moth eaten.




Job 13:9-28
King James Bible

as a garment that is moth eaten.

Porque él es bueno:

And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples,

Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings.

 He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their coasts.

 He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.

 He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of their coasts.

 He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number,

 And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.

 He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength.

 He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.

 Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them.

 He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.

 The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

 He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river.

 For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant.

 And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness:

 And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people;

 That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the Lord.






Psalm 105:30-45
King James Bible

consider my meditation.

And gave them the lands of the heathen:

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Psalm 1
King James Bible

the faithful city.

Psaume 1 (Alcorcón)

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.

 How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.

 Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:

 Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.




Isaiah 1:18-23
King James Bible

How is the faithful city become an harlot!

over Philistia will I triumph.

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

which thou knowest not.

Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.

shalt not suffer

Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

Jewry 2

who can know it? (La Boca)

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.

He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. (Medford edit)
