Let reason go before every enterprize, and counsel before every action.

Gold and silver make the foot stand sure: but counsel is esteemed above them both.

Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.

Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established.

Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.

For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety.

Ask counsel of all that are wise, and despise not any counsel that is profitable.

And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to seek the Lord.

And commanded Judah to seek the Lord God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment.

For as it was your mind to go astray from God: so, being returned, seek him ten times more.

But if from thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.

Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:

And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.

The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.

Seek ye the Lord, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the Lord's anger.

Use not many words in a multitude of elders, and make not much babbling when thou prayest.

When thou sittest among many, reach not thine hand out first of all.

Speak, young man, if there be need of thee: and yet scarcely when thou art twice asked.

Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.

At that time therefore they decreed, saying, Whosoever shall come to make battle with us on the sabbath day, we will fight against him; neither will we die all, as our brethren that were murdered in the secret places.

Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.

For thou didst separate them from among all the people of the earth, to be thine inheritance, as thou spakest by the hand of Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord God.

Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.

When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.

For in the division of the nations of the whole earth he set a ruler over every people; but Israel is the Lord's portion:

But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast: that ye may know how that the Lord doth put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel.

Now therefore make confession unto the Lord God of your fathers, and do his pleasure: and separate yourselves from the people of the land, and from the strange wives.

Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this is the time of the Lord's vengeance; he will render unto her a recompence.

But I have said unto you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you to possess it, a land that floweth with milk and honey: I am the Lord your God, which have separated you from other people.

And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the Lord am holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye should be mine.

And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:

And the seed of Israel separated themselves from all strangers, and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers.

And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, "Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?"

And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:

Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.

Who will pity a charmer that is bitten with a serpent, or any such as come nigh wild beasts?

Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?

They shall lick the dust like a serpent, they shall move out of their holes like worms of the earth: they shall be afraid of the Lord our God, and shall fear because of thee.

Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;

And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:

And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.

For when the horrible fierceness of beasts came upon these, and they perished with the stings of crooked serpents, thy wrath endured not for ever:

Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.

But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend.

Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen:

Remember these, O Jacob and Israel; for thou art my servant: I have formed thee; thou art my servant: O Israel, thou shalt not be forgotten of me.

For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me.

And said unto me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified.

For unto me the children of Israel are servants; they are my servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.

Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the Lord shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.

And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinue from thine heritage that I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in the land which thou knowest not: for ye have kindled a fire in mine anger, which shall burn for ever.

My son, sow not upon the furrows of unrighteousness, and thou shalt not reap them sevenfold.

And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.

Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.

And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.

Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.

Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:

For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:

Gaze not on a maid, that thou fall not by those things that are precious in her.

Go not after thy lusts, but refrain thyself from thine appetites.

Wine and women will make men of understanding to fall away: and he that cleaveth to harlots will become impudent.

Stumble not at the beauty of a woman, and desire her not for pleasure.

I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?

But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.

The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;

And the Lord will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all them that hate thee.

Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the Lord bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed.

My son, in thy sickness be not negligent: but pray unto the Lord, and he will make thee whole.

And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets.

Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?

With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the Lord shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?

Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.

All iniquity is as a two edged sword, the wounds whereof cannot be healed.

For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

Now therefore, my lord and governor, if there be any error against this people, and they sin against their God, let us consider that this shall be their ruin, and let us go up, and we shall overcome them.

And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

And as Samuel turned about to go away, he laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent.

It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;

And he said, Who art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thine handmaid: spread therefore thy skirt over thine handmaid; for thou art a near kinsman.
