Ezek.39.20
Feast at my banquet table--feast on horses, riders, and valiant warriors, says the Sovereign LORD.

Ezek.39.24
I turned my face away and punished them in proportion to the vileness of their sins.
Ezek.39.25
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name;
Ezek.39.25
"But now I will return Jacob back from exile, I'll be compassionate with all the people of Israel, and I'll be zealous for my holy name.
Ezek.39.25
"Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will now bring Jacob back from captivity and will have compassion on all the people of Israel, and I will be zealous for my holy name.
Ezek.39.25
"Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: "Now I will bring back the captives of Jacob, and have mercy on the whole house of Israel; and I will be jealous for My holy name--
Ezek.39.25
"So now the Sovereign LORD says: I will end the captivity of my people; I will have mercy on Israel, for I am jealous for my holy reputation!
Ezek.39.26
After that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid.
Ezek.39.26
Eventually the memory will fade, the memory of their shame over their betrayals of me when they lived securely in their own land, safe and unafraid.
Ezek.39.26
They will forget their shame and all the unfaithfulness they showed toward me when they lived in safety in their land with no one to make them afraid.
Ezek.39.26
after they have borne their shame, and all their unfaithfulness in which they were unfaithful to Me, when they dwelt safely in their own land and no one made them afraid.
Ezek.39.26
They will accept responsibility for their past shame and treachery against me after they come home to live in peace and safety in their own land. And then no one will bother them or make them afraid.
Ezek.39.27
When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies' lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations;

Ezek.39.28
Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there.

Jas.4.1
From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?
Jas.4.1
Where do you think all these appalling wars and quarrels come from? Do you think they just happen? Think again. They come about because you want your own way, and fight for it deep inside yourselves.
Jas.4.1
What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you?
Jas.4.1
Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members?
Jas.4.1
What is causing the quarrels and fights among you? Isn't it the whole army of evil desires at war within you?
Jas.4.2
Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
Jas.4.2
You lust for what you don't have and are willing to kill to get it. You want what isn't yours and will risk violence to get your hands on it. You wouldn't think of just asking God for it, would you?
Jas.4.2
You want something but don't get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask God.
Jas.4.2
You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask.
Jas.4.2
You want what you don't have, so you scheme and kill to get it. You are jealous for what others have, and you can't possess it, so you fight and quarrel to take it away from them. And yet the reason you don't have what you want is that you don't ask God for it.
Jas.4.3
Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
Jas.4.3
And why not? Because you know you'd be asking for what you have no right to. You're spoiled children, each wanting your own way.
Jas.4.3
When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.
Jas.4.3
You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.
Jas.4.3
And even when you do ask, you don't get it because your whole motive is wrong--you want only what will give you pleasure.
Jas.4.4
Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
Jas.4.4
You're cheating on God. If all you want is your own way, flirting with the world every chance you get, you end up enemies of God and his way.
Jas.4.4
You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God? Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.
Jas.4.4
Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
Jas.4.4
You adulterers! Don't you realize that friendship with this world makes you an enemy of God? I say it again, that if your aim is to enjoy this world, you can't be a friend of God.
Jas.4.5
Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?
Jas.4.5
And do you suppose God doesn't care? The proverb has it that "he's a fiercely jealous lover."
Jas.4.5
Or do you think Scripture says without reason that the spirit he caused to live in us envies intensely?
Jas.4.5
Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, "The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously"?
Jas.4.5
What do you think the Scriptures mean when they say that the Holy Spirit, whom God has placed within us, jealously longs for us to be faithful?
Jas.4.6
But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
Jas.4.6
And what he gives in love is far better than anything else you'll find. It's common knowledge that "God goes against the willful proud; God gives grace to the willing humble."
Jas.4.6
But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble."
Jas.4.6
But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: "God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble."
Jas.4.6
He gives us more and more strength to stand against such evil desires. As the Scriptures say, "God sets himself against the proud, but he shows favor to the humble."
Jas.4.7
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Jas.4.7
So let God work his will in you. Yell a loud no to the Devil and watch him scamper.
Jas.4.7
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Jas.4.7
Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
Jas.4.7
So humble yourselves before God. Resist the Devil, and he will flee from you.
Jas.4.8
Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
Jas.4.8
Say a quiet yes to God and he'll be there in no time. Quit dabbling in sin. Purify your inner life. Quit playing the field.
Jas.4.8
Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
Jas.4.8
Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
Jas.4.8
Draw close to God, and God will draw close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, you hypocrites.
Jas.4.9
Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
Jas.4.9
Hit bottom, and cry your eyes out. The fun and games are over. Get serious, really serious.
Jas.4.9
Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom.
Jas.4.9
Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom.
Jas.4.9
Let there be tears for the wrong things you have done. Let there be sorrow and deep grief. Let there be sadness instead of laughter, and gloom instead of joy.
Jas.4.10
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
Jas.4.10
Get down on your knees before the Master; it's the only way you'll get on your feet.
Jas.4.10
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.
Jas.4.10
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.
Jas.4.10
When you bow down before the Lord and admit your dependence on him, he will lift you up and give you honor.
Jas.4.11
Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
Jas.4.11
Don't bad-mouth each other, friends. It's God's Word, his Message, his Royal Rule, that takes a beating in that kind of talk. You're supposed to be honoring the Message, not writing graffiti all over it.
Jas.4.11
Brothers, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it.
Jas.4.11
Do not speak evil of one another, brethren. He who speaks evil of a brother and judges his brother, speaks evil of the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge.
Jas.4.11
Don't speak evil against each other, my dear brothers and sisters. If you criticize each other and condemn each other, then you are criticizing and condemning God's law. But you are not a judge who can decide whether the law is right or wrong. Your job is to obey it.
Jas.4.12
There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?
Jas.4.12
God is in charge of deciding human destiny. Who do you think you are to meddle in the destiny of others?
Jas.4.12
There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you--who are you to judge your neighbor?
Jas.4.12
There is one Lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. Who are you to judge another?
Jas.4.12
God alone, who made the law, can rightly judge among us. He alone has the power to save or to destroy. So what right do you have to condemn your neighbor?
Jas.4.13
Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:
Jas.4.13
And now I have a word for you who brashly announce, "Today--at the latest, tomorrow--we're off to such and such a city for the year. We're going to start a business and make a lot of money."
Jas.4.13
Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money."
Jas.4.13
Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit";
Jas.4.13
Look here, you people who say, "Today or tomorrow we are going to a certain town and will stay there a year. We will do business there and make a profit."
Jas.4.14
Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
Jas.4.14
You don't know the first thing about tomorrow. You're nothing but a wisp of fog, catching a brief bit of sun before disappearing.
Jas.4.14
Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.
Jas.4.14
whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.
Jas.4.14
How do you know what will happen tomorrow? For your life is like the morning fog--it's here a little while, then it's gone.
Jas.4.15
For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.
Jas.4.15
Instead, make it a habit to say, "If the Master wills it and we're still alive, we'll do this or that."
Jas.4.15
Instead, you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that."
Jas.4.15
Instead you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that."
Jas.4.15
What you ought to say is, "If the Lord wants us to, we will live and do this or that."
Jas.4.16
But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.
Jas.4.16
As it is, you are full of your grandiose selves. All such vaunting self-importance is evil.
Jas.4.16
As it is, you boast and brag. All such boasting is evil.
Jas.4.16
But now you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.
Jas.4.16
Otherwise you will be boasting about your own plans, and all such boasting is evil.
Jas.4.17
Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.
Jas.4.17
In fact, if you know the right thing to do and don't do it, that, for you, is evil.
Jas.4.17
Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins.
Jas.4.17
Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.
Jas.4.17
Remember, it is sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it.
Prov.28.7

One who turns away his ear from hearing the law, Even his prayer is an abomination.
Prov.28.9
The prayers of a person who ignores the law are despised.

Prov.28.10
Whoever causes the upright to go astray in an evil way, He himself will fall into his own pit; But the blameless will inherit good.
Prov.28.10
Those who lead the upright into sin will fall into their own trap, but the honest will inherit good things.
Prov.28.11
The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out.
Prov.28.11
The rich think they know it all, but the poor can see right through them.
Prov.28.11
A rich man may be wise in his own eyes, but a poor man who has discernment sees through him.
Prov.28.11
The rich man is wise in his own eyes, But the poor who has understanding searches him out.
Prov.28.11
Rich people picture themselves as wise, but their real poverty is evident to the poor.
