Dan.8.15

"While I, Daniel, was trying to make sense of what I was seeing, suddenly there was a humanlike figure standing before me.

Dan.8.15

While I, Daniel, was watching the vision and trying to understand it, there before me stood one who looked like a man.

Dan.8.15

Then it happened, when I, Daniel, had seen the vision and was seeking the meaning, that suddenly there stood before me one having the appearance of a man.

Dan.8.15

As I, Daniel, was trying to understand the meaning of this vision, someone who looked like a man suddenly stood in front of me.

Dan.8.16

"Then I heard a man's voice from over by the Ulai Canal calling out, "Gabriel, tell this man what is going on. Explain the vision to him.'

Dan.8.16

And I heard a man's voice from the Ulai calling, "Gabriel, tell this man the meaning of the vision."

Dan.8.16

And I heard a man's voice between the banks of the Ulai, who called, and said, "Gabriel, make this man understand the vision."

Dan.8.16

And I heard a human voice calling out from the Ulai River, "Gabriel, tell this man the meaning of his vision."

Dan.8.17

He came up to me, but when he got close I became terrified and fell facedown on the ground. "He said, "Understand that this vision has to do with the time of the end.'

Dan.8.17

As he came near the place where I was standing, I was terrified and fell prostrate. "Son of man," he said to me, "understand that the vision concerns the time of the end."

Dan.8.17

So he came near where I stood, and when he came I was afraid and fell on my face; but he said to me, "Understand, son of man, that the vision refers to the time of the end."

Dan.8.17

As Gabriel approached the place where I was standing, I became so terrified that I fell to the ground. "Son of man," he said, "you must understand that the events you have seen in your vision relate to the time of the end."

Dan.8.18

As soon as he spoke, I fainted, my face in the dirt. But he picked me up and put me on my feet.

Dan.8.18

While he was speaking to me, I was in a deep sleep, with my face to the ground. Then he touched me and raised me to my feet.

Dan.8.18

Now, as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep with my face to the ground; but he touched me, and stood me upright.

Dan.8.18

While he was speaking, I fainted and lay there with my face to the ground. But Gabriel roused me with a touch and helped me to my feet.

Dan.8.19

"And then he continued, "I want to tell you what is going to happen as the judgment days of wrath wind down, for there is going to be an end to all this.

Dan.8.19

He said: "I am going to tell you what will happen later in the time of wrath, because the vision concerns the appointed time of the end.

Dan.8.19

And he said, "Look, I am making known to you what shall happen in the latter time of the indignation; for at the appointed time the end shall be.

Dan.8.19

Then he said, "I am here to tell you what will happen later in the time of wrath. What you have seen pertains to the very end of time.

Dan.8.20

The double-horned ram you saw stands for the two kings of the Medes and Persians.

Dan.8.20

The two-horned ram that you saw represents the kings of Media and Persia.

Dan.8.20

The ram which you saw, having the two horns--they are the kings of Media and Persia.

Dan.8.20

The two-horned ram represents the kings of Media and Persia.

Dan.8.21

The billy goat stands for the kingdom of the Greeks. The huge horn on its forehead is the first Greek king.

Dan.8.21

The shaggy goat is the king of Greece, and the large horn between his eyes is the first king.

Dan.8.21

And the male goat is the kingdom of Greece. The large horn that is between its eyes is the first king.

Dan.8.21

The shaggy male goat represents the king of Greece, and the large horn between its eyes represents the first king of the Greek Empire.

Dan.8.22

The four horns that sprouted after it was broken off are the four kings that come after him, but without his power.

Dan.8.22

The four horns that replaced the one that was broken off represent four kingdoms that will emerge from his nation but will not have the same power.

Dan.8.22

As for the broken horn and the four that stood up in its place, four kingdoms shall arise out of that nation, but not with its power.

Dan.8.22

The four prominent horns that replaced the one large horn show that the Greek Empire will break into four sections with four kings, none of them as great as the first.

Dan.8.23

As their kingdoms cool down and rebellions heat up, A king will show up, hard-faced, a master trickster.

Dan.8.23

"In the latter part of their reign, when rebels have become completely wicked, a stern-faced king, a master of intrigue, will arise.

Dan.8.23

"And in the latter time of their kingdom, When the transgressors have reached their fullness, A king shall arise, Having fierce features, Who understands sinister schemes.

Dan.8.23

"At the end of their rule, when their sin is at its height, a fierce king, a master of intrigue, will rise to power.

Dan.8.24

His power will swell enormously. He'll talk big, high-handedly, Doing whatever he pleases, knocking off heroes and holy ones left and right.

Dan.8.24

He will become very strong, but not by his own power. He will cause astounding devastation and will succeed in whatever he does. He will destroy the mighty men and the holy people.

Dan.8.24

His power shall be mighty, but not by his own power; He shall destroy fearfully, And shall prosper and thrive; He shall destroy the mighty, and also the holy people.

Dan.8.24

He will become very strong, but not by his own power. He will cause a shocking amount of destruction and succeed in everything he does. He will destroy powerful leaders and devastate the holy people.

Dan.8.25

He'll plot and scheme to make crime flourish--and oh, how it will flourish! He'll think he's invincible and get rid of anyone who gets in his way. But when he takes on the Prince of all princes, he'll be smashed to bits--but not by human hands.

Dan.8.25

He will cause deceit to prosper, and he will consider himself superior. When they feel secure, he will destroy many and take his stand against the Prince of princes. Yet he will be destroyed, but not by human power.

Dan.8.25

"Through his cunning He shall cause deceit to prosper under his rule; And he shall exalt himself in his heart. He shall destroy many in their prosperity. He shall even rise against the Prince of princes; But he shall be broken without human means.

Dan.8.25

He will be a master of deception, defeating many by catching them off guard. Without warning he will destroy them. He will even take on the Prince of princes in battle, but he will be broken, though not by human power.

Dan.8.26

This vision of the 2,300 sacrifices, evening and morning, is accurate but confidential. Keep it to yourself. It refers to the far future.' [JC]

Dan.8.26

"The vision of the evenings and mornings that has been given you is true, but seal up the vision, for it concerns the distant future."

Dan.8.26

"And the vision of the evenings and mornings Which was told is true; Therefore seal up the vision, For it refers to many days in the future."

Dan.8.26

"This vision about the twenty-three hundred evenings and mornings is true. But none of these things will happen for a long time, so do not tell anyone about them yet."

Dan.8.27

"I, Daniel, walked around in a daze, unwell for days. Then I got a grip on myself and went back to work taking care of the king's affairs. But I continued to be upset by the vision. I couldn't make sense of it.

Dan.8.27

I, Daniel, was exhausted and lay ill for several days. Then I got up and went about the king's business. I was appalled by the vision; it was beyond understanding.

Dan.8.27

And I, Daniel, fainted and was sick for days; afterward I arose and went about the king's business. I was astonished by the vision, but no one understood it.

Dan.8.27

Then I, Daniel, was overcome and lay sick for several days. Afterward I got up and performed my duties for the king, but I was greatly troubled by the vision and could not understand it.

Dan.9.1

"Darius, son of Ahasuerus, born a Mede, became king over the land of Babylon.

Dan.9.1

In the first year of Darius son of Ahasuerus (a Mede by descent), who was made ruler over the Babylonian kingdom-

Dan.9.1

In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the lineage of the Medes, who was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans--

Dan.9.1

It was the first year of the reign of Darius the Mede, the son of Ahasuerus, who became king of the Babylonians.

Dan.9.2

In the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, was meditating on the Scriptures that gave, according to the Word of GOD to the prophet Jeremiah, the number of years that Jerusalem had to lie in ruins, namely, seventy.

Dan.9.2

in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, understood from the Scriptures, according to the word of the LORD given to Jeremiah the prophet, that the desolation of Jerusalem would last seventy years.

Dan.9.2

in the first year of his reign I, Daniel, understood by the books the number of the years specified by the word of the LORD through Jeremiah the prophet, that He would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.

Dan.9.2

During the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, was studying the writings of the prophets. I learned from the word of the LORD, as recorded by Jeremiah the prophet, that Jerusalem must lie desolate for seventy years.

Dan.9.3

I turned to the Master God, asking for an answer--praying earnestly, fasting from meals, wearing rough penitential burlap, and kneeling in the ashes.

Dan.9.3

So I turned to the Lord God and pleaded with him in prayer and petition, in fasting, and in sackcloth and ashes.

Dan.9.3

Then I set my face toward the Lord God to make request by prayer and supplications, with fasting, sackcloth, and ashes.

Dan.9.3

So I turned to the Lord God and pleaded with him in prayer and fasting. I wore rough sackcloth and sprinkled myself with ashes.

Dan.9.4

I poured out my heart, baring my soul to GOD, my God: O Master, great and august God. You never waver in your covenant commitment, never give up on those who love you and do what you say.

Dan.9.4

I prayed to the LORD my God and confessed: "O Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love with all who love him and obey his commands,

Dan.9.4

And I prayed to the LORD my God, and made confession, and said, "O Lord, great and awesome God, who keeps His covenant and mercy with those who love Him, and with those who keep His commandments,

Dan.9.4

I prayed to the LORD my God and confessed: "O Lord, you are a great and awesome God! You always fulfill your promises of unfailing love to those who love you and keep your commands.

Dan.9.5

Yet we have sinned in every way imaginable. We've done evil things, rebelled, dodged and taken detours around your clearly marked paths.

Dan.9.5

we have sinned and done wrong. We have been wicked and have rebelled; we have turned away from your commands and laws.

Dan.9.5

we have sinned and committed iniquity, we have done wickedly and rebelled, even by departing from Your precepts and Your judgments.

Dan.9.5

But we have sinned and done wrong. We have rebelled against you and scorned your commands and regulations.

Dan.9.6

We've turned a deaf ear to your servants the prophets, who preached your Word to our kings and leaders, our parents, and all the people in the land.

Dan.9.6

We have not listened to your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to our kings, our princes and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.

Dan.9.6

Neither have we heeded Your servants the prophets, who spoke in Your name to our kings and our princes, to our fathers and all the people of the land.

Dan.9.6

We have refused to listen to your servants the prophets, who spoke your messages to our kings and princes and ancestors and to all the people of the land.

Dan.9.7

You have done everything right, Master, but all we have to show for our lives is guilt and shame, the whole lot of us--people of Judah, citizens of Jerusalem, Israel at home and Israel in exile in all the places we've been banished to because of our betrayal of you.

Dan.9.7

"Lord, you are righteous, but this day we are covered with shame-the men of Judah and people of Jerusalem and all Israel, both near and far, in all the countries where you have scattered us because of our unfaithfulness to you.

Dan.9.7

O Lord, righteousness belongs to You, but to us shame of face, as it is this day--to the men of Judah, to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and all Israel, those near and those far off in all the countries to which You have driven them, because of the unfaithfulness which they have committed against You.

Dan.9.7

"Lord, you are in the right; but our faces are covered with shame, just as you see us now. This is true of us all, including the people of Judah and Jerusalem and all Israel, scattered near and far, wherever you have driven us because of our disloyalty to you.

Dan.9.8

Oh yes, GOD, we've been exposed in our shame, all of us--our kings, leaders, parents--before the whole world. And deservedly so, because of our sin.

Dan.9.8

O LORD, we and our kings, our princes and our fathers are covered with shame because we have sinned against you.

Dan.9.8

"O Lord, to us belongs shame of face, to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, because we have sinned against You.

Dan.9.8

O LORD, we and our kings, princes, and ancestors are covered with shame because we have sinned against you.

Dan.9.9

Compassion is our only hope, the compassion of you, the Master, our God, since in our rebellion we've forfeited our rights.

Dan.9.9

The Lord our God is merciful and forgiving, even though we have rebelled against him;

Dan.9.9

To the Lord our God belong mercy and forgiveness, though we have rebelled against Him.

Dan.9.9

But the Lord our God is merciful and forgiving, even though we have rebelled against him.

Dan.9.10

We paid no attention to you when you told us how to live, the clear teaching that came through your servants the prophets.

Dan.9.10

we have not obeyed the LORD our God or kept the laws he gave us through his servants the prophets.

Dan.9.10

We have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God, to walk in His laws, which He set before us by His servants the prophets.

Dan.9.10

We have not obeyed the LORD our God, for we have not followed the laws he gave us through his servants the prophets.

Dan.9.11

All of us in Israel ignored what you said. We defied your instructions and did what we pleased. And now we're paying for it: The solemn curse written out plainly in the revelation to God's servant Moses is now doing its work among us, the wages of our sin against you.

Dan.9.11

All Israel has transgressed your law and turned away, refusing to obey you. "Therefore the curses and sworn judgments written in the Law of Moses, the servant of God, have been poured out on us, because we have sinned against you.

Dan.9.11

Yes, all Israel has transgressed Your law, and has departed so as not to obey Your voice; therefore the curse and the oath written in the Law of Moses the servant of God have been poured out on us, because we have sinned against Him.

Dan.9.11

All Israel has disobeyed your law and turned away, refusing to listen to your voice. "So now the solemn curses and judgments written in the law of Moses, the servant of God, have been poured out against us because of our sin.

Dan.9.12

You did to us and our rulers what you said you would do: You brought this catastrophic disaster on us, the worst disaster on record--and in Jerusalem!

Dan.9.12

You have fulfilled the words spoken against us and against our rulers by bringing upon us great disaster. Under the whole heaven nothing has ever been done like what has been done to Jerusalem.

Dan.9.12

And He has confirmed His words, which He spoke against us and against our judges who judged us, by bringing upon us a great disaster; for under the whole heaven such has never been done as what has been done to Jerusalem.

Dan.9.12

You have done exactly what you warned you would do against us and our rulers. Never in all history has there been a disaster like the one that happened in Jerusalem.

Dan.9.13

Just as written in God's revelation to Moses, the catastrophe was total. Nothing was held back. We kept at our sinning, never giving you a second thought, oblivious to your clear warning,

Dan.9.13

Just as it is written in the Law of Moses, all this disaster has come upon us, yet we have not sought the favor of the LORD our God by turning from our sins and giving attention to your truth.

Dan.9.13

"As it is written in the Law of Moses, all this disaster has come upon us; yet we have not made our prayer before the LORD our God, that we might turn from our iniquities and understand Your truth.

Dan.9.13

Every curse written against us in the law of Moses has come true. All the troubles he predicted have taken place. But we have refused to seek mercy from the LORD our God by turning from our sins and recognizing his truth.

Dan.9.14

and so you had no choice but to let the disaster loose on us in full force. You, our GOD, had a perfect right to do this since we persistently and defiantly ignored you.

Dan.9.14

The LORD did not hesitate to bring the disaster upon us, for the LORD our God is righteous in everything he does; yet we have not obeyed him.

Dan.9.14

Therefore the LORD has kept the disaster in mind, and brought it upon us; for the LORD our God is righteous in all the works which He does, though we have not obeyed His voice.

Dan.9.14

The LORD has brought against us the disaster he prepared, for we did not obey him, and the LORD our God is just in everything he does.

Dan.9.15

Master, you are our God, for you delivered your people from the land of Egypt in a show of power--people are still talking about it! We confess that we have sinned, that we have lived bad lives.

Dan.9.15

"Now, O Lord our God, who brought your people out of Egypt with a mighty hand and who made for yourself a name that endures to this day, we have sinned, we have done wrong.

Dan.9.15

And now, O Lord our God, who brought Your people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and made Yourself a name, as it is this day--we have sinned, we have done wickedly!

Dan.9.15

"O Lord our God, you brought lasting honor to your name by rescuing your people from Egypt in a great display of power. But we have sinned and are full of wickedness.

Dan.9.16

Following the lines of what you have always done in setting things right, setting people right, please stop being so angry with Jerusalem, your very own city, your holy mountain. We know it's our fault that this has happened, all because of our sins and our parents' sins, and now we're an embarrassment to everyone around us. We're a blot on the neighborhood.

Dan.9.16

O Lord, in keeping with all your righteous acts, turn away your anger and your wrath from Jerusalem, your city, your holy hill. Our sins and the iniquities of our fathers have made Jerusalem and your people an object of scorn to all those around us.

Dan.9.16

"O Lord, according to all Your righteousness, I pray, let Your anger and Your fury be turned away from Your city Jerusalem, Your holy mountain; because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and Your people are a reproach to all those around us.

Dan.9.16

In view of all your faithful mercies, Lord, please turn your furious anger away from your city of Jerusalem, your holy mountain. All the neighboring nations mock Jerusalem and your people because of our sins and the sins of our ancestors.

Dan.9.17

So listen, God, to this determined prayer of your servant. Have mercy on your ruined Sanctuary. Act out of who you are, not out of what we are.

Dan.9.17

"Now, our God, hear the prayers and petitions of your servant. For your sake, O Lord, look with favor on your desolate sanctuary.

Dan.9.17

Now therefore, our God, hear the prayer of Your servant, and his supplications, and for the Lord's sake cause Your face to shine on Your sanctuary, which is desolate.

Dan.9.17

"O our God, hear your servant's prayer! Listen as I plead. For your own sake, Lord, smile again on your desolate sanctuary.

Dan.9.18

Turn your ears our way, God, and listen. Open your eyes and take a long look at our ruined city, this city named after you. We know that we don't deserve a hearing from you. Our appeal is to your compassion. This prayer is our last and only hope:

Dan.9.18

Give ear, O God, and hear; open your eyes and see the desolation of the city that bears your Name. We do not make requests of you because we are righteous, but because of your great mercy.

Dan.9.18

O my God, incline Your ear and hear; open Your eyes and see our desolations, and the city which is called by Your name; for we do not present our supplications before You because of our righteous deeds, but because of Your great mercies.

Dan.9.18

"O my God, listen to me and hear my request. Open your eyes and see our wretchedness. See how your city lies in ruins--for everyone knows that it is yours. We do not ask because we deserve help, but because you are so merciful.

Dan.9.19

Master, listen to us! Master, forgive us! Master, look at us and do something! Master, don't put us off! Your city and your people are named after you: You have a stake in us!'

Dan.9.19

O Lord, listen! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, hear and act! For your sake, O my God, do not delay, because your city and your people bear your Name."

Dan.9.19

O Lord, hear! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, listen and act! Do not delay for Your own sake, my God, for Your city and Your people are called by Your name."

Dan.9.19

"O Lord, hear. O Lord, forgive. O Lord, listen and act! For your own sake, O my God, do not delay, for your people and your city bear your name."

1John.2.28

And now, children, stay with Christ. Live deeply in Christ. Then we'll be ready for him when he appears, ready to receive him with open arms, with no cause for red-faced guilt or lame excuses when he arrives.

1John.2.28

And now, dear children, continue in him, so that when he appears we may be confident and unashamed before him at his coming.

1John.2.28

And now, little children, abide in Him, that when He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.

1John.2.28

And now, dear children, continue to live in fellowship with Christ so that when he returns, you will be full of courage and not shrink back from him in shame.

1John.2.29

Once you're convinced that he is right and righteous, you'll recognize that all who practice righteousness are God's true children.

1John.2.29

If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who does what is right has been born of him.

1John.2.29

If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness is born of Him.

1John.2.29

Since we know that God is always right, we also know that all who do what is right are his children.

1John.3.1

What marvelous love the Father has extended to us! Just look at it--we're called children of God! That's who we really are. But that's also why the world doesn't recognize us or take us seriously, because it has no idea who he is or what he's up to.

1John.3.1

How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

1John.3.1

Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.

1John.3.1

See how very much our heavenly Father loves us, for he allows us to be called his children, and we really are! But the people who belong to this world don't know God, so they don't understand that we are his children.

1John.3.2

But friends, that's exactly who we are: children of God. And that's only the beginning. Who knows how we'll end up! What we know is that when Christ is openly revealed, we'll see him--and in seeing him, become like him.

1John.3.2

Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.

1John.3.2

Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.

1John.3.2

Yes, dear friends, we are already God's children, and we can't even imagine what we will be like when Christ returns. But we do know that when he comes we will be like him, for we will see him as he really is.

1John.3.3

All of us who look forward to his Coming stay ready, with the glistening purity of Jesus' life as a model for our own.

1John.3.3

Everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself, just as he is pure.

1John.3.3

And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.

1John.3.3

And all who believe this will keep themselves pure, just as Christ is pure.

1John.3.4

All who indulge in a sinful life are dangerously lawless, for sin is a major disruption of God's order.

1John.3.4

Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness.

1John.3.4

Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness.

1John.3.4

Those who sin are opposed to the law of God, for all sin opposes the law of God.

1John.3.5

Surely you know that Christ showed up in order to get rid of sin. There is no sin in him, and sin is not part of his program.

1John.3.5

But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him is no sin.

1John.3.5

And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin.

1John.3.5

And you know that Jesus came to take away our sins, for there is no sin in him.

1John.3.6

No one who lives deeply in Christ makes a practice of sin. None of those who do practice sin have taken a good look at Christ. They've got him all backwards.

1John.3.6

No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him.

1John.3.6

Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him.

1John.3.6

So if we continue to live in him, we won't sin either. But those who keep on sinning have never known him or understood who he is.

1John.3.7

So, my dear children, don't let anyone divert you from the truth. It's the person who acts right who is right, just as we see it lived out in our righteous Messiah.

1John.3.7

Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. He who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous.

1John.3.7

Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous.

1John.3.7

Dear children, don't let anyone deceive you about this: When people do what is right, it is because they are righteous, even as Christ is righteous.

1John.3.8

Those who make a practice of sin are straight from the Devil, the pioneer in the practice of sin. The Son of God entered the scene to abolish the Devil's ways.

1John.3.8

He who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil's work.

1John.3.8

He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.

1John.3.8

But when people keep on sinning, it shows they belong to the Devil, who has been sinning since the beginning. But the Son of God came to destroy these works of the Devil.

1John.3.9

People conceived and brought into life by God don't make a practice of sin. How could they? God's seed is deep within them, making them who they are. It's not in the nature of the God-begotten to practice and parade sin.

1John.3.9

No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God's seed remains in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God.

1John.3.9

Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.

1John.3.9

Those who have been born into God's family do not sin, because God's life is in them. So they can't keep on sinning, because they have been born of God.

1John.3.10

Here's how you tell the difference between God's children and the Devil's children: The one who won't practice righteous ways isn't from God, nor is the one who won't love brother or sister. A simple test. [JC]

1John.3.10

This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not a child of God; nor is anyone who does not love his brother.

1John.3.10

In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother.

1John.3.10

So now we can tell who are children of God and who are children of the Devil. Anyone who does not obey God's commands and does not love other Christians does not belong to God.

Prov.29.10

Murderers hate honest people; moral folks encourage them.

Prov.29.10

Bloodthirsty men hate a man of integrity and seek to kill the upright.

Prov.29.10

The bloodthirsty hate the blameless, But the upright seek his well-being.

Prov.29.10

The bloodthirsty hate the honest, but the upright seek out the honest.

Prov.29.11

A fool lets it all hang out; a sage quietly mulls it over.
