The LORD said to Moses, “Behold, I will come to you in a dense cloud, so that the people will hear when I speak with you, and they will always put their trust in you.” And Moses relayed to the LORD what the people had said.

And Moses wrote down all the words of the LORD. Early the next morning he got up and built an altar at the base of the mountain, along with twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.

The Teacher searched to find delightful sayings and to record accurate words of truth.

The words of the wise are like goads, and the anthologies of the masters are like firmly embedded nails driven by a single Shepherd.

And many peoples will come and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us His ways so that we may walk in His paths.” For the law will go forth from Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

Bind up the testimony and seal the law among my disciples.

To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, they have no light of dawn.

Then the word of the LORD to them will become: “Order on order, order on order, line on line, line on line; a little here, a little there,” so that they will go stumbling backward and will be injured, ensnared, and captured.

And whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear this command behind you: “This is the way. Walk in it.”

Search and read the scroll of the LORD: Not one of these will go missing, not one will lack her mate, because He has ordered it by His mouth, and He will gather them by His Spirit.

The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever.”

Listen to Me, you who know what is right, you people with My law in your hearts: Do not fear the scorn of men; do not be broken by their insults.

For just as rain and snow fall from heaven and do not return without watering the earth, making it bud and sprout, and providing seed to sow and food to eat,

…so My word that proceeds from My mouth will not return to Me empty, but it will accomplish what I please, and it will prosper where I send it.

The wise will be put to shame; they will be dismayed and trapped. Since they have rejected the word of the LORD, what wisdom do they really have?

Listen and give heed. Do not be arrogant, for the LORD has spoken.

Your words were found, and I ate them. Your words became my joy and my heart’s delight. For I bear Your name, O LORD God of Hosts.

O land, land, land, hear the word of the LORD!

Let the prophet who has a dream retell it, but let him who has My word speak it truthfully. For what is straw compared to grain?” declares the LORD.

“Is not My word like fire,” declares the LORD, “and like a hammer that smashes a rock?”

But refer no more to the burden of the LORD, for each man’s word becomes the burden, so that you pervert the words of the living God, the LORD of Hosts, our God.

“Son of man,” He said to me, “eat and fill your stomach with this scroll I am giving you.” So I ate, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth.

“Son of man,” He added, “listen carefully to all the words I speak to you, and take them to heart.

The LORD said to me: “Son of man, pay attention; look carefully with your eyes and listen closely with your ears to everything I tell you concerning all the statutes and laws of the house of the LORD. Take careful note of the entrance to the temple, along with all the exits of the sanctuary.

The vision of the evenings and the mornings that has been spoken is true. Now you must seal up the vision, for it concerns the distant future.”

But first I will tell you what is inscribed in the Book of Truth. Yet no one has the courage to support me against these, except Michael your prince.

But you, Daniel, shut up these words and seal the book until the time of the end. Many will roam to and fro, and knowledge will increase.”

“Go on your way, Daniel,” he replied, “for the words are closed up and sealed until the time of the end.

Therefore I have hewn them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of My mouth, and My judgments go forth like lightning.

Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord GOD, when I will send a famine on the land—not a famine of bread or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the LORD. …

Should it be said, O house of Jacob, “Is the Spirit of the LORD impatient? Are these the things He does?” Do not My words bring good to him who walks uprightly?

Then the LORD answered me: “Write down this vision and clearly inscribe it on tablets, so that a herald may run with it.

Are these not the words that the LORD proclaimed through the earlier prophets, when Jerusalem and its surrounding towns were populous and prosperous, and the Negev and the foothills were inhabited?’”

But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”

Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them.

Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.

The rain fell, the torrents raged, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because its foundation was on the rock.

For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John.

He who has ears, let him hear.

But the seed sown on good soil is the one who hears the word and understands it. He indeed bears fruit and produces a crop—a hundredfold, sixtyfold, or thirtyfold.”

He told them still another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven that a woman took and mixed into three measures of flour, until all of it was leavened.”

Jesus replied, “And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition?

They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.’”

Jesus answered, “You are mistaken because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.

Still others are like the seeds sown on good soil. They hear the word, receive it, and produce a crop—thirtyfold, sixtyfold, or a hundredfold.”

They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.’

He went on to say, “You neatly set aside the command of God to maintain your own tradition.

Thus you nullify the word of God by the tradition you have handed down. And you do so in many such matters.”

Jesus said to them, “Aren’t you mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God?

Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.

All spoke well of Him and marveled at the gracious words that came from His lips. “Isn’t this the son of Joseph?” they asked.

I will show you what he is like who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them:

He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid his foundation on the rock. When the flood came, the torrent crashed against that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.

Now this is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God. …

But He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”

But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for a single stroke of a pen to drop out of the Law.

But Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let your brothers listen to them.’

Then Abraham said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead.’”

They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us as He spoke with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?”

Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.

After He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this. Then they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.

Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not come under judgment. Indeed, he has crossed over from death to life.

You pore over the Scriptures because you presume that by them you possess eternal life. These are the very words that testify about Me,

The Spirit gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life.

So He said to the Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, you are truly My disciples.

Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

If he called them gods to whom the word of God came—and the Scripture cannot be broken—

You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.

For I have given them the words You gave Me, and they have received them. They knew with certainty that I came from You, and they believed that You sent Me.

I have given them Your word and the world has hated them. For they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth.

For them I sanctify Myself, so that they too may be sanctified by the truth.

I am not asking on behalf of them alone, but also on behalf of those who will believe in Me through their message,

But these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His name.

The voice spoke to him a second time: “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.”

Now the Bereans were more noble-minded than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if these teachings were true.

And now I commit you to God and to the word of His grace, which can build you up and give you an inheritance among all who are sanctified.

…to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those sanctified by faith in Me.’

But I have had God’s help to this day, and I stand here to testify to small and great alike. I am saying nothing beyond what the prophets and Moses said would happen:

What, then, is the advantage of being a Jew? Or what is the value of circumcision?

Much in every way. First of all, they have been entrusted with the very words of God.

Now the words “it was credited to him” were written not only for Abraham,

…but also for us, to whom righteousness will be credited—for us who believe in Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.

But thanks be to God that, though you once were slaves to sin, you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were committed.

…the people of Israel. Theirs is the adoption as sons; theirs the divine glory and the covenants; theirs the giving of the law, the temple worship, and the promises.

It is not as though God’s word has failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel.

Consequently, faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.

For everything that was written in the past was written for our instruction, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures, we might have hope.

…but now revealed and made known through the writings of the prophets by the command of the eternal God, in order to lead all nations to the obedience that comes from faith—

And this is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words.

I say this as a concession, not as a command.

To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband.

To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If a brother has an unbelieving wife and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her.

Isn’t He actually speaking on our behalf? Indeed, this was written for us, because when the plowman plows and the thresher threshes, they should also expect to share in the harvest.

Now these things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the fulfillment of the ages has come.

Now I commend you for remembering me in everything and for maintaining the traditions, just as I passed them on to you.

For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
