Deuteronomy Chapter 1

¹These are the words which Moses spoke to all Israel beyond the Jordan in the wilderness, in the Arabah over against Suph, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab.

²It is eleven days' [journey] from Horeb by the way of Mount Seir to Kadesh Barnea.

³In the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, Moses spoke to the children of Israel, according to all that ForeverOne had given him in commandment to them; ⁴after he had struck Sihon the king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, who lived in Ashtaroth, at Edrei.

⁵Beyond the Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying, ⁶"ForeverOne our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying, You have lived long enough in this mountain: ⁷turn, and take your journey, and go to the hill country of the Amorites, and to all [the places] near there, in the Arabah, in the hill country, and in the lowland, and in the South, and by the seashore, the land of the Canaanites, and Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates.

⁸Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which ForeverOne swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them and to their offspring after them." ⁹I spoke to you at that time, saying, "I am not able to bear you myself alone: ¹⁰ForeverOne your God has multiplied you, and behold, you are today as the stars of the sky for multitude.

¹¹ForeverOne, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times as many as you are, and bless you, as he has promised you!

¹²How can I myself alone bear your encumbrance, and your burden, and your strife?

¹³Take wise men of understanding and well known according to your tribes, and I will make them heads over you." ¹⁴You answered me, and said, "The thing which you have spoken is good [for us] to do." ¹⁵So I took the heads of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, and captains of fifties, and captains of tens, and officers, according to your tribes.

¹⁶I commanded your judges at that time, saying, Hear [the causes] between your brothers, and judge righteously between a man and his brother, and the foreigner who is living with him.

¹⁷Don't show partiality in judgment; you shall hear the small and the great alike; you shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God's: and the cause that is too hard for you, you shall bring to me, and I will hear it.

¹⁸I commanded you at that time all the things which you should do.

Ezekiel Chapter 28

¹¹Moreover the word of ForeverOne came to me, saying, ¹²Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and tell him, Thus says LordOfMine ForeverOne: You seal up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.

¹³You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone adorned you: ruby, topaz, emerald, chrysolite, onyx, jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and beryl. Gold work of tambourines and of pipes was in you. In the day that you were created they were prepared.

¹⁴You were the anointed cherub who covers: and I set you, [so that] you were on the holy mountain of God; you have walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.

¹⁵You were perfect in your ways from the day that you were created, until unrighteousness was found in you.

¹⁶By the abundance of your commerce, your insides were filled with violence, and you have sinned. Therefore I have thrown you out of God's mountain as profane. I have destroyed you, covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.

¹⁷Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty. You have corrupted your wisdom by reason of your brightness. I have thrown you to the ground; I have laid you before kings, that they may see you.

¹⁸By the multitude of your iniquities, in the unrighteousness of your traffic, you have profaned your sanctuaries; therefore have I produced a fire from the midst of you; it has devoured you, and I have turned you to ashes on the earth in the sight of all those who see you.

¹⁹All those who know you among the peoples shall be astonished at you: you have become a terror, and you shall nevermore have any being.

²⁰The word of ForeverOne came to me, saying, ²¹Son of man, set your face toward Sidon, and prophesy against it, ²²and say, Thus says LordOfMine ForeverOne: Behold, I am against you, Sidon; and I will be glorified in the midst of you; and they shall know that I am ForeverOne, when I shall have executed judgments in her, and shall be sanctified in her.

²³For I will send pestilence into her, and blood into her streets; and the wounded shall fall in the midst of her, with the sword on her on every side; and they shall know that I am ForeverOne.

²⁴There will no longer be a pricking brier for the house of Israel, nor a hurting thorn of any that are around them that scorned them. Then they will know that I am LordOfMine ForeverOne.

²⁵Thus says LordOfMine ForeverOne: When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the nations, then shall they dwell in their own land which I gave to my servant Jacob.

²⁶They shall dwell securely there; yes, they shall build houses, and plant vineyards, and shall dwell securely, when I have executed judgments on all those who do them despite all around them; and they shall know that I am ForeverOne their God.

Ezekiel Chapter 29

¹In the tenth year, in the tenth month, on the twelfth day of the month, the word of ForeverOne came to me, saying, ²"Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him and against all Egypt.

³Speak and say, 'Thus says LordOfMine ForeverOne: "Behold, I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great monster that lies in the midst of his rivers, that has said, 'My river is my own, and I have made it for myself.' ⁴I will put hooks in your jaws, and I will make the fish of your rivers stick to your scales; and I will bring you up out of the midst of your rivers, with all the fish of your rivers which stick to your scales.

⁵I'll throw you out into the wilderness, you and all the fish of your rivers. You'll fall on the open field. You won't be brought together, nor gathered. I have given you for food to the animals of the earth and to the birds of the sky.

⁶All the inhabitants of Egypt will know that I am ForeverOne, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel.

⁷When they took hold of you by your hand, you broke, and tore all their shoulders; and when they leaned on you, you broke, and paralyzed all of their thighs."

Proverbs Chapter 15

¹⁵All the days of the afflicted are wretched, but one who has a cheerful heart enjoys a continual feast.

¹⁶Better is little, with the fear of ForeverOne, than great treasure with trouble.

¹⁷Better is a dinner of herbs, where love is, than a fattened calf with hatred.

¹⁸A wrathful man stirs up contention, but one who is slow to anger appeases strife.

¹⁹The way of the sluggard is like a thorn patch, but the path of the upright is a highway.

²⁰A wise son makes a father glad, but a foolish man despises his mother.

²¹Folly is joy to one who is void of wisdom, but a man of understanding keeps his way straight.

²²Where there is no counsel, plans fail; but in a multitude of counselors they are established.

²³Joy comes to a man with the reply of his mouth. How good is a word at the right time!

²⁴The path of life leads upward for the wise, to keep him from going downward to Sheol.

²⁵ForeverOne will uproot the house of the proud, but he will keep the widow's borders intact.

²⁶ForeverOne detests the thoughts of the wicked, but the thoughts of the pure are pleasing.

²⁷He who is greedy for gain troubles his own house, but he who hates bribes will live.

²⁸The heart of the righteous weighs answers, but the mouth of the wicked gushes out evil.

²⁹ForeverOne is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous.

³⁰The light of the eyes rejoices the heart. Good news gives health to the bones.

³¹The ear that listens to reproof lives, and will be at home among the wise.

³²He who refuses correction despises his own soul, but he who listens to reproof gets understanding.

³³The fear of ForeverOne teaches wisdom. Before honor is humility.

Proverbs Chapter 16

¹The plans of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from ForeverOne.

²All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but ForeverOne weighs the motives.

³Commit your deeds to ForeverOne, and your plans shall succeed.

⁴ForeverOne has made everything for its own end - yes, even the wicked for the day of evil.

⁵Everyone who is proud in heart is an abomination to ForeverOne: they shall certainly not be unpunished.

⁶By mercy and truth iniquity is atoned for. By the fear of ForeverOne men depart from evil.

⁷When a man's ways please ForeverOne, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.

⁸Better is a little with righteousness, than great revenues with injustice.

⁹A man's heart plans his course, but ForeverOne directs his steps.

2 Timothy Chapter 2

¹So you, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in AnointedOne Jesus.

²The things which you have heard from me among many witnesses, present them to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also.

³So, you must endure hardship as a good soldier of AnointedOne Jesus.

⁴No soldier on duty entangles himself in the affairs of life, that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier.

⁵Also, if anyone competes in athletics, he isn't crowned unless he has competed by the rules.

⁶The farmer who labors must be the first to get a share of the crops.

⁷Consider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things.

⁸Remember Jesus AnointedOne, risen from the dead, of the offspring of David, according to my Good News, ⁹in which I suffer hardship to the point of chains as a criminal. But God's word isn't chained.

¹⁰So I endure all things for the chosen ones' sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in AnointedOne Jesus with eternal glory.

¹¹This saying is trustworthy: "For if we died with him, we will also live with him.

¹²If we endure, we will also reign with him. If we deny him, he also will deny us.

¹³If we are faithless, he remains faithful. He can't deny himself." ¹⁴Remind them of these things, charging them in the sight of the Lord, that they don't argue about words, to no profit, to the subverting of those who hear.

¹⁵Give diligence to present yourself approved by God, a workman who doesn't need to be ashamed, properly handling the Word of Truth.

¹⁶But shun empty chatter, for it will go further in ungodliness, ¹⁷and those words will consume like gangrene, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus: ¹⁸men who have erred concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past, and overthrowing the faith of some.

¹⁹However God's firm foundation stands, having this seal, "ForeverOne knows those who are his," and, "Let every one who names the name of ForeverOne depart from unrighteousness." ²⁰Now in a large house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of clay. Some are for honor, and some for dishonor.

²¹So if anyone purges himself from these, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, and suitable for the master's use, prepared for every good work.

²²Flee from youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on ForeverOne out of a pure heart.

²³But refuse foolish and ignorant questionings, knowing that they generate strife.

²⁴The Lord's servant must not quarrel, but be gentle toward all, able to teach, patient, ²⁵in gentleness correcting those who oppose him: perhaps God may give them repentance leading to a full knowledge of the truth, ²⁶and they may recover themselves out of the devil's snare, having been taken captive by him to his will.
