24:017:009 The heart is deceitful above all things,
and desperately
wicked:
who can know it?
24:017:010 I the lord search the heart, I try
the reins, even to give
every
man according to his ways, and according to the fruit
of
his
doings.
24:017:011 As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth
them not; so he
that
getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them
in the
midst
of his days, and at his end shall be a fool.
24:017:012 A glorious high throne from the beginning
is the place of our
sanctuary.
24:017:013 O lord, the hope of Israel, all that
forsake thee shall be
ashamed,
and they that depart from me shall be written in the
earth,
because they have forsaken the lord, the fountain
of
living
waters.
24:017:014 Heal me, O lord, and I shall be healed;
save me, and I shall
be
saved: for thou art my praise.
24:017:015 Behold, they say unto me, Where is the
word of the lord? let
it
come now.
24:017:016 As for me, I have not hastened from being
a pastor to follow
thee:
neither have I desired the woeful day; thou knowest:
that
which came out of my lips was right before thee.
24:017:017 Be not a terror unto me: thou art my hope in the day of evil.
24:017:018 Let them be confounded that persecute me,
but let not me be
confounded:
let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed:
bring
upon them the day of evil, and destroy them with double
destruction.
24:017:019 Thus said the lord unto me; Go and
stand in the gate of the
children
of the people, whereby the kings of Judah come in,
and
by the which they go out, and in all the gates of
Jerusalem;
24:017:020 And say unto them, Hear ye the word of
the lord, ye kings of
Judah,
and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
that
enter in by these gates:
24:017:021 Thus saith the lord; Take heed to
yourselves, and bear no
burden
on the sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of
Jerusalem;
24:017:022 Neither carry forth a burden out of your
houses on the sabbath
day,
neither do ye any work, but hallow ye the sabbath day,
as
I
commanded your fathers.
24:017:023 But they obeyed not, neither inclined their
ear, but made
their
neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor receive
instruction.
24:017:024 And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently
hearken unto me,
saith
the lord, to bring in no burden through the gates
of
this
city on the sabbath day, but hallow the sabbath day,
to
do
no work therein;
