PROVERBS 7

' My son, keep my words and treasure up my commandments with you; ' PROVERBS 7:1

PROVERBS 7

Pr 7:1My son, keep my words, / And treasure up my commandments within you.

Pr 7:2Keep my commandments, and live; / And my teaching, like the pupil of your eye.

Pr 7:3Bind them on your fingers; / Write them on the tablet of your heart.

Pr 7:4Say to wisdom, You are my sister, / And call understanding your close friend,

Pr 7:5That they may keep you from the strange woman, / From the adulteress who flatters with her words.

Pr 7:6For at the window of my house / I looked out through my lattice,

Pr 7:7And I saw among the simple ones, / I discerned among the youths, / A young man lacking sense,

Pr 7:8Passing along the street near her corner; / And he takes the way to her house,

Pr 7:9In the twilight, in the evening of the day, / In the deep of night and darkness.

Pr 7:10And there comes a woman to meet him, / Dressed as a harlot and cunning of heart.

Pr 7:11She is rowdy and defiant; / Her feet do not stay at home —

Pr 7:12Now in the street, now in the squares, / And at every corner she lies in wait.

Pr 7:13And she grabs him and kisses him; / And with an impudent face she says to him,

Pr 7:14I had to make offerings; / Today I have paid my vows.

Pr 7:15Therefore I have come out to meet you, / To earnestly seek your presence; and I have found you.

Pr 7:16I have decked my couch with coverings, / Colored spreads of the linen of Egypt;

Pr 7:17I have sprinkled my bed with myrrh, / Aloes, and cinnamon.

Pr 7:18Come, let us drink our fill of love until the morning; / Let us delight ourselves with love.

Pr 7:19For my husband is not at home; / He has gone on a long journey.

Pr 7:20He has taken the money bag with him; / He will come home at the full moon.

Pr 7:21With her great persuasiveness she beguiles him; / With her smooth talk she compels him.

Pr 7:22He goes after her immediately, / As an ox goes to the slaughter, / Or as someone in fetters, to the correction of the fool,

Pr 7:23Until an arrow pierces through his liver. / As a bird hastens to the snare, / So he does not know that this will cost him his life.

Pr 7:24And now, my sons, listen to me, / And pay attention to the words of my mouth.

Pr 7:25Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways; / Do not stray into her paths.

Pr 7:26For many are those whom she has brought down wounded, / And numerous are all who have been slain by her.

Pr 7:27Her house is the way to Sheol, / Going down to the chambers of death.

Proverbs

Proverbs 30

   1: The words of Agur the son of Jakeh; The oracle. The man saith unto Ithiel, unto Ithiel and Ucal:
   2: Surely I am more brutish than any man, And have not the understanding of a man;
   3: And I have not learned wisdom, Neither have I the knowledge of the Holy One.
   4: Who hath ascended up into heaven, and descended? Who hath gathered the wind in his fists? Who hath bound the waters in his garment? Who hath established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou knowest?
   5: Every word of God is tried: He is a shield unto them that take refuge in him.
   6: Add thou not unto his words, Lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
   7: Two things have I asked of thee; Deny me [them] not before I die:
   8: Remove far from me falsehood and lies; Give me neither poverty nor riches; Feed me with the food that is needful for me:
   9: Lest I be full, and deny [thee], and say, Who is Jehovah? Or lest I be poor, and steal, And use profanely the name of my God.
   10: Slander not a servant unto his master, Lest he curse thee, and thou be held guilty.
   11: There is a generation that curse their father, And bless not their mother.
   12: There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, And [yet] are not washed from their filthiness.
   13: There is a generation, oh how lofty are their eyes! And their eyelids are lifted up.
   14: There is a generation whose teeth are [as] swords, and their jaw teeth [as] knives, To devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.
   15: The horseleach hath two daughters, [crying], Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, [Yea], four that say not, Enough:
   16: Sheol; and the barren womb; The earth that is not satisfied with water; And the fire that saith not, Enough.
   17: The eye that mocketh at his father, And despiseth to obey his mother, The ravens of the valley shall pick it out, And the young eagles shall eat it.
   18: There are three things which are too wonderful for me, Yea, four which I know not:
   19: The way of an eagle in the air; The way of a serpent upon a rock; The way of a ship in the midst of the sea; And the way of a man with a maiden.
   20: So is the way of an adulterous woman; She eateth, and wipeth her mouth, And saith, I have done no wickedness.
   21: For three things the earth doth tremble, And for four, [which] it cannot bear:
   22: For a servant when he is king; And a fool when he is filled with food;
   23: For an odious woman when she is married; And a handmaid that is heir to her mistress.
   24: There are four things which are little upon the earth, But they are exceeding wise:
   25: The ants are a people not strong, Yet they provide their food in the summer;
   26: The conies are but a feeble folk, Yet make they their houses in the rocks;
   27: The locusts have no king, Yet go they forth all of them by bands;
   28: The lizard taketh hold with her hands, Yet is she in kings' palaces.
   29: There are three things which are stately in their march, Yea, four which are stately in going:
   30: The lion, which is mightiest among beasts, And turneth not away for any;
   31: The greyhound; the he-goat also; And the king against whom there is no rising up.
   32: If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, Or if thou hast thought evil, [Lay] thy hand upon thy mouth.
   33: For the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, And the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood; So the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.

The Lamp of the body

 '“The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light.

But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness.

If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!

“No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other,

or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other.

You cannot serve God and mammon.'

' “ As I swore in my anger, ‘ They will never enter my rest! ’” See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has an evil, unbelieving heart that forsakes the living God. But exhort one another each day, as long as it is called “Today,” that none of you may become hardened by sin’s deception. For we have become partners with Christ, if in fact we hold our initial confidence firm until the end. As it says, “ Oh, that today you would listen as he speaks! Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion .” '

Hebrews 3:11-15

https://my.bible.com/bible/107/HEB.3.11-15

' For he is our God; we are the people of his pasture, the sheep he owns. Today, if only you would obey him! He says, “Do not be stubborn like they were at Meribah, like they were that day at Massah in the wilderness, where your ancestors challenged my authority, and tried my patience, even though they had seen my work. For forty years I was continually disgusted with that generation, and I said, ‘These people desire to go astray; they do not obey my commands.’ So I made a vow in my anger, ‘They will never enter into the resting place I had set aside for them.’”'

Hebrews 3

(BSB Berean Standard Bible)

 https://biblehub.com/bsb/hebrews/3.htm#12

Jesus Our Apostle and High Priest

1Therefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling, set your focus on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess. 2He was faithful to the One who appointed Him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house.

3For Jesus has been counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself. 4And every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything.

5Now Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s house, testifying to what would be spoken later. 6But Christ is faithful as the Son over God’s house. And we are His house, if we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope of which we boast.

Do Not Harden Your Hearts
(Psalm 95:1–11)

7Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: 

“Today, if you hear His voice,

8do not harden your hearts, 

as you did in the rebellion, 

in the day of testing in the wilderness,

9where your fathers tested and tried Me, 

and for forty years saw My works.

10Therefore I was angry with that generation, 

and I said, 

‘Their hearts are always going astray, 

and they have not known My ways.’

11So I swore on oath in My anger, 

‘They shall never enter My rest.’ ”

The Peril of Unbelief

12See to it, brothers, that none of you has a wicked heart of unbelief that turns away from the living God. 13But exhort one another daily, as long as it is called today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.

14We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly to the end the assurance we had at first. 15As it has been said: 

“Today, if you hear His voice, 

do not harden your hearts, 

as you did in the rebellion.”

16For who were the ones who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt? 17And with whom was God angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? 18And to whom did He swear that they would never enter His rest? Was it not to those who disobeyed? 19So we see that it was because of their unbelief that they were unable to enter.

Hebrews 3 KJV

Jesus Our Apostle and High Priest

1Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; 2Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house. 3For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house. 4For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things isGod. 5And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after; 6But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.

Do Not Harden Your Hearts

7Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,

8Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:

9When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.

10Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.

11So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)

The Dangers of Unbelief

12Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. 13But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;

15While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

16For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses. 17But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness? 18And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not? 19So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

' They stood these men before the apostles,

who prayed and placed their hands on them. The word of God continued to spread,

the number of disciples in Jerusalem increased greatly, and a

large group of priests became obedient to the faith. '
