Numbers Chapter 30

¹Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, saying, "This is the thing which ForeverOne has commanded.

²When a man vows a vow to ForeverOne, or swears an oath to bind his soul with a bond, he shall not break his word; he shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth.

³"Also when a woman vows a vow to ForeverOne, and binds herself by a bond, being in her father's house, in her youth, ⁴and her father hears her vow, and her bond with which she has bound her soul, and her father holds his peace at her; then all her vows shall stand, and every bond with which she has bound her soul shall stand.

⁵But if her father disallow her in the day that he hears, none of her vows, or of her bonds with which she has bound her soul, shall stand: and ForeverOne will forgive her, because her father disallowed her.

⁶"If she is [married] to a husband, while her vows are on her, or the rash utterance of her lips, with which she has bound her soul, ⁷and her husband hear it, and hold his peace at her in the day that he hears it; then her vows shall stand, and her bonds with which she has bound her soul shall stand.

⁸But if her husband disallow her in the day that he hears it, then he shall make void her vow which is on her, and the rash utterance of her lips, with which she has bound her soul: and ForeverOne will forgive her.

⁹"But the vow of a widow, or of her who is divorced, [even] everything with which she has bound her soul, shall stand against her.

¹⁰"If she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath, ¹¹and her husband heard it, and held his peace at her, and didn't disallow her; then all her vows shall stand, and every bond with which she bound her soul shall stand.

¹²But if her husband made them null and void in the day that he heard them, then whatever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand: her husband has made them void; and ForeverOne will forgive her.

¹³Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void.

¹⁴But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day to day, then he establishes all her vows, or all her bonds, which are on her: he has established them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard them.

¹⁵But if he shall make them null and void after that he has heard them, then he shall bear her iniquity." ¹⁶These are the statutes, which ForeverOne commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between a father and his daughter, being in her youth, in her father's house.

Ezekiel Chapter 16

³⁵Therefore, prostitute, hear the word of ForeverOne: ³⁶Thus says LordOfMine ForeverOne, Because your filthiness was poured out, and your nakedness uncovered through your prostitution with your lovers; and because of all the idols of your abominations, and for the blood of your children, that you gave to them; ³⁷therefore see, I will gather all your lovers, with whom you have taken pleasure, and all those who you have loved, with all those who you have hated; I will even gather them against you on every side, and will uncover your nakedness to them, that they may see all your nakedness.

³⁸I will judge you, as women who break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will bring on you the blood of wrath and jealousy.

³⁹I will also give you into their hand, and they shall throw down your vaulted place, and break down your lofty places; and they shall strip you of your clothes, and take your beautiful jewels; and they shall leave you naked and bare.

⁴⁰They shall also bring up a group against you, and they shall stone you with stones, and thrust you through with their swords.

⁴¹They shall burn your houses with fire, and execute judgments on you in the sight of many women; and I will cause you to cease from playing the prostitute, and you shall also give no hire any more.

⁴²So will I cause my wrath toward you to rest, and my jealousy shall depart from you, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry.

⁴³Because you have not remembered the days of your youth, but have raged against me in all these things; therefore, behold, I also will bring your way on your head, says LordOfMine ForeverOne: and you shall not commit this lewdness with all your abominations.

⁴⁴Behold, everyone who uses proverbs shall use [this] proverb against you, saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter.

⁴⁵You are the daughter of your mother, who loathes her husband and her children; and you are the sister of your sisters, who loathed their husbands and their children: your mother was a Hittite, and your father an Amorite.

⁴⁶Your elder sister is Samaria, who dwells at your left hand, she and her daughters; and your younger sister, who dwells at your right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.

⁴⁷Yet you haven't walked in their ways, nor followed their abominations; but, as [if that were] a very little [thing], you were more corrupt than they in all your ways.

⁴⁸As I live, says LordOfMine ForeverOne, Sodom your sister has not done, she nor her daughters, as you have done, you and your daughters.

⁴⁹Behold, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: pride, fullness of bread, and prosperous ease was in her and in her daughters; nor did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.

⁵⁰They were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw [good].

⁵¹Neither has Samaria committed half of your sins; but you have multiplied your abominations more than they, and have justified your sisters by all your abominations which you have done.

⁵²You also, bear you your own shame, in that you have given judgment for your sisters; through your sins that you have committed more abominable than they, they are more righteous that you: yes, be also confounded, and bear your shame, in that you have justified your sisters.

⁵³I will turn again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, and the captivity of your captives in the midst of them; ⁵⁴that you may bear your own shame, and may be ashamed because of all that you have done, in that you are a comfort to them.

⁵⁵Your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former estate; and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate; and you and your daughters shall return to your former estate.

⁵⁶For your sister Sodom was not mentioned by your mouth in the day of your pride, ⁵⁷before your wickedness was uncovered, as at the time of the reproach of the daughters of Syria, and of all who are around her, the daughters of the Philistines, who do despite to you all around.

⁵⁸You have borne your lewdness and your abominations, says ForeverOne.

Proverbs Chapter 2

¹My son, if you will receive my words, and store up my commandments within you; ²So as to turn your ear to wisdom, and apply your heart to understanding; ³Yes, if you call out for discernment, and lift up your voice for understanding; ⁴If you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures: ⁵then you will understand the fear of ForeverOne, and find the knowledge of God.

⁶For ForeverOne gives wisdom. Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.

⁷He lays up sound wisdom for the upright. He is a shield to those who walk in integrity; ⁸that he may guard the paths of justice, and preserve the way of his saints.

⁹Then you will understand righteousness and justice, equity and every good path.

¹⁰For wisdom will enter into your heart. Knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.

¹¹Discretion will watch over you. Understanding will keep you, ¹²to deliver you from the way of evil, from the men who speak perverse things; ¹³who forsake the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness; ¹⁴who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the perverseness of evil; ¹⁵who are crooked in their ways, and wayward in their paths: ¹⁶To deliver you from the strange woman, even from the foreigner who flatters with her words; ¹⁷who forsakes the friend of her youth, and forgets the covenant of her God: ¹⁸for her house leads down to death, her paths to the dead.

¹⁹None who go to her return again, neither do they attain to the paths of life: ²⁰that you may walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.

²¹For the upright will dwell in the land. The perfect will remain in it.

²²But the wicked will be cut off from the land. The treacherous will be rooted out of it.

Colossians Chapter 3

¹If then you were raised together with the AnointedOne, seek the things that are above, where the AnointedOne is, seated on the right hand of God.

²Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth.

³For you died, and your life is hidden with the AnointedOne in God.

⁴When the AnointedOne, our life, is revealed, then you will also be revealed with him in glory.

⁵So, put to death your members which are on the earth: sexual immorality, uncleanness, depraved passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.

⁶For the sake of these things, wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.

⁷You also once walked in those, when you lived in them; ⁸but now you also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth.

⁹Don't lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings, ¹⁰and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator, ¹¹where there can't be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondservant, freeman; but the AnointedOne is all, and in all.

¹²So, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance, as God's chosen ones holy and loved; ¹³bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as the AnointedOne forgave you, so you also do.

¹⁴Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection.

¹⁵And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body, and be thankful.

¹⁶Let the word of the AnointedOne dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your heart to the Lord.

¹⁷Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father, through him.

¹⁸Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.

¹⁹Husbands, love your wives, and don't be bitter against them.

²⁰Children, obey your parents in all things, for this pleases the Lord.

²¹Fathers, don't provoke your children, so that they won't be discouraged.

²²Servants, obey in all things those who are your masters according to the flesh, not just when they are looking, as men pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing God.

²³And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, ²⁴knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord the AnointedOne.

²⁵But he who does wrong will receive again for the wrong that he has done, and there is no partiality.
