ISA_28:26 For his God doth instruct him to discretion, [and] doth teach him.
ISA_28:27 For the fitches are not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the fitches are beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a rod.

ISA_29:13 Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near [me] with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:

ISA_29:15 Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?
ISA_29:16 Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?
ISA_29:17 [Is] it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest?

ISA_29:19 The meek also shall increase [their] joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
ISA_29:20 For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:

2CO_2:14 Now thanks [be] unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.
2CO_2:15 For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:
2CO_2:16 To the one [we are] the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who [is] sufficient for these things?
2CO_2:17 For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.
2CO_3:1 Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some [others], epistles of commendation to you, or [letters] of commendation from you?
2CO_3:2 Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:
2CO_3:3 [Forasmuch as ye are] manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.
2CO_3:4 And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward:
2CO_3:5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency [is] of God;
2CO_3:6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
2CO_3:7 But if the ministration of death, written [and] engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which [glory] was to be done away:
2CO_3:8 How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?
2CO_3:9 For if the ministration of condemnation [be] glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
2CO_3:10 For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.
2CO_3:11 For if that which is done away [was] glorious, much more that which remaineth [is] glorious.
2CO_3:12 Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:
2CO_3:13 And not as Moses, [which] put a veil over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:
2CO_3:14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same veil untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which [veil] is done away in Christ.
2CO_3:15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the veil is upon their heart.
2CO_3:16 Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the veil shall be taken away.
2CO_3:17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord [is], there [is] liberty.
2CO_3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, [even] as by the Spirit of the Lord.
PSA_106:39 Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.
PSA_106:40 Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.
PSA_106:41 And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them.
PSA_106:42 Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.
PSA_106:43 Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked [him] with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.
PSA_106:44 Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry:
PSA_106:45 And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.
PRO_23:28 She also lieth in wait as [for] a prey, and increaseth the transgressors among men.
PRO_23:29 Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes?
