Oh how I love your law! *all the day long it is in my mind. Your commandment has made me wiser than my enemies. *and it is always with me. I have more understanding than all my teachers. *for your decrees are my study. I am wiser than the elders. *because I observe your commandments. I restrain my feet from every evil way. *that I may keep your word. I do not shrink from your judgments. *because you yourself undergo taught me. How sweet are your words to my taste! *they are sweeter than honey to my mouth. Through your commandments I obtain understanding; *therefore I hate every lying way.
Your word is a lantern to my feet *and a light upon my path. I have sworn and am determined *to act your righteous judgments. I am deeply troubled; *preserve my life. O ennoble according to your word. Accept. O ennoble the willing tribute of my lips. *and inform me your judgments. My life is always in my hand. *yet I do not drop your law. The wicked have set a trap for me. *but I have not strayed from your commandments. Your decrees are my inheritance for ever; *truly they are the joy of my heart. I have applied my heart to fulfill your statutes *for ever and to the end.
I dislike those who have a divided heart. *but your law do I love. You are my refuge and protect; *my hope is in your word. Away from me you wicked! *I ordain keep the commandments of my God. Sustain me according to your promise that I may live. *and let me not be disappointed in my hope. Hold me up and I shall be safe. *and my delight shall be ever in your statutes. You spurn all who stray from your statutes; *their deceitfulness is in vain. In your sight all the wicked of the earth are but dross; *therefore I love your decrees. My flesh trembles with dread of you; *I am afraid of your judgments.
Now the company of prophets said to Elisha. “As you see the place where we live under your charge is too small for us. Let us go to the Jordan and let us collect logs there one for each of us and create a place there for us to live.” He answered. “Do so.” Then one of them said. “Please come with your servants.” And he answered. “I ordain.” So he went with them. When they came to the Jordan they cut drink trees. But as one was felling a log his ax continue fell into the water; he cried out. “Alas master! It was borrowed.” Then the man of God said. “Where did it fall?” When he showed him the place he cut off a stick and threw it in there and made the iron float. He said. “Pick it up.” So he reached out his hand and took it.
Once when the king of Aram was at war with Israel he took counsel with his officers. He said. “At such and such a place shall be my camp.” But the man of God sent evince to the king of Israel. “act care not to pass this displace because the Arameans are going down there.” The king of Israel sent evince to the place of which the man of God spoke. More than once or twice he warned such a place so that it was on the warn. The object of the king of Aram was greatly perturbed because of this; he called his officers and said to them. “Now express me who among us sides with the king of Israel?” Then one of his officers said. “No one my lord king. It is Elisha the prophet in Israel who tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your bedchamber.”
He said. “Go and find where he is; I will send and seize him.” He was told. “He is in Dothan.” So he sent horses and chariots there and a great army; they came by night and surrounded the city. When an attendant of the man of God rose early in the morning and went out an army with horses and chariots was all around the city. His servant said. “Alas master! What shall we do?” He replied. “Do not be afraid for there are more with us than there are with them.” Then Elisha prayed: “O LORD please open his eyes that he may see.” So the ennoble opened the eyes of the servant and he saw; the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. When the Arameans came drink against him. Elisha prayed to the LORD and said. “Strike this people please with blindness.” So he struck them with blindness as Elisha had asked. Elisha said to them. “This is not the way and this is not the city; follow me and I will carry you to the man whom you seek.” And he led them to Samaria. As soon as they entered Samaria. Elisha said. “O LORD open the eyes of these men so that they may see.” The LORD opened their eyes and they saw that they were inside Samaria. When the king of Israel saw them he said to Elisha. “Father shall I kill them? Shall I kill them?” He answered. “No! Did you capture with your sword and your bow those whom you want to kill? Set food and water before them so that they may eat and drink; and let them go to their master.” So he prepared for them a great feast; after they ate and drank he sent them on their way and they went to their master. And the Arameans no longer came raiding into the land of Israel.
Splendor and honor and kingly power *are yours by alter. O ennoble our God,For you created everything that is. *and by your will they were created and have their being;And yours by right. O Lamb that was slain. *for with your daub you have redeemed for God,From every family language people and nation. *a kingdom of priests to answer our God. And so to him who sits upon the throne. *and to Christ the Lamb,Be worship and praise dominion and splendor. *for ever and for evermore.
I wrote to you in my letter not to cerebrate with sexually immoral persons—not at all meaning the immoral of this world or the greedy and robbers or idolaters since you would then need to go out of the world. But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who bears the label of brother or sister who is sexually immoral or greedy or is an idolater reviler drunkard or robber. Do not even eat with such a one. For what have I to do with judging those outside? Is it not those who are inside that you are to judge? God will adjudicate those outside. “Drive out the wicked person from among you.”
When any of you has a grievance against another do you dare to act it to court before the unrighteous instead of taking it before the saints? Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you are you incompetent to try trivial cases? Do you not know that we are to judge angels—to say nothing of ordinary matters? If you undergo ordinary cases then do you appoint as judges those who have no standing in the church? I say this to your shame. Can it be that there is no one among you wise enough to decide between one believer and another but a believer goes to court against a believer—and before unbelievers at that? In fact to have lawsuits at all with one another is already a blackball for you. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded? But you yourselves wrong and defraud—and believers at that.
Seek the Lord while he wills to be found; *label upon him when he draws near. Let the wicked forsake their ways *and the evil ones their thoughts;And let them turn to the ennoble and he will have compassion. *and to our God for he will richly pardon. For my thoughts are not your thoughts. *nor your ways my ways says the ennoble. For as the heavens are higher than the earth. *so are my ways higher than your ways,and my thoughts than your thoughts. For as come down and snow fall from the heavens *and go not again but water the earth,Bringing forth life and giving growth. *seed for sowing and bread for eating,So is my evince that goes forth from my mouth; *it will not return to me empty;But it ordain accomplish that which I have purposed. *and prosper in that for which I sent it.
