went
Proverbs 6:6-19
6
Go unto the ant, O slothful one, See her ways and be wise;
7
Which hath not captain, overseer, and ruler,
8
She doth prepare in summer her bread, She hath gathered in harvest her food.
9
Till when, O slothful one, dost thou lie? When dost thou arise from thy sleep?
10
A little sleep, a little slumber, A little clasping of the hands to rest,
11
And thy poverty hath come as a traveller, And thy want as an armed man.
12
A man of worthlessness, a man of iniquity, Walking [with] perverseness of mouth,
13
Winking with his eyes, speaking with his feet, Directing with his fingers,
14
Frowardness [is] in his heart, devising evil at all times, Contentions he sendeth forth.
15
Therefore suddenly cometh his calamity, Instantly he is broken -- and no healing.
16
These six hath Jehovah hated, Yea, seven [are] abominations to His soul.
17
Eyes high -- tongues false -- And hands shedding innocent blood --
18
A heart devising thoughts of vanity -- Feet hasting to run to evil --
19
A false witness [who] doth breathe out lies -- And one sending forth contentions between brethren.
Job 4:8
As I have seen -- ploughers of iniquity, And sowers of misery, reap it!
Job 5:27
Lo, this -- we searched it out -- it [is] right, hearken; And thou, know for thyself!
Job 15:17
I shew thee -- hearken to me -- And this I have seen and declare:
Psalm 37:25
Young I have been, I have also become old, And I have not seen the righteous forsaken, And his seed seeking bread.
Psalm 107:42
The upright do see and rejoice, And all perversity hath shut her mouth.
Ecclesiastes 4:1-8
1
And I have turned, and I see all the oppressions that are done under the sun, and lo, the tear of the oppressed, and they have no comforter; and at the hand of their oppressors [is] power, and they have no comforter.
2
And I am praising the dead who have already died above the living who are yet alive.
3
And better than both of them [is] he who hath not yet been, in that he hath not seen the evil work that hath been done under the sun.
4
And I have seen all the labour, and all the benefit of the work, because for it a man is the envy of his neighbour. Even this [is] vanity and vexation of spirit.
5
The fool is clasping his hands, and eating his own flesh:
6
'Better [is] a handful [with] quietness, than two handfuls [with] labour and vexation of spirit.'
7
And I have turned, and I see a vain thing under the sun:
8
There is one, and there is not a second; even son or brother he hath not, and there is no end to all his labour! His eye also is not satisfied with riches, and [he saith not], 'For whom am I labouring and bereaving my soul of good?' This also is vanity, it is a sad travail.
Ecclesiastes 7:15
The whole I have considered in the days of my vanity. There is a righteous one perishing in his righteousness, and there is a wrong-doer prolonging [himself] in his wrong.
Ecclesiastes 8:9-11
9
All this I have seen so as to give my heart to every work that hath been done under the sun; a time that man hath ruled over man to his own evil.
10
And so I have seen the wicked buried, and they went in, even from the Holy Place they go, and they are forgotten in the city whether they had so done. This also [is] vanity.
11
Because sentence hath not been done [on] an evil work speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of man is full within them to do evil.
void
Proverbs 10:13
In the lips of the intelligent is wisdom found, And a rod [is] for the back of him who is lacking understanding.
Proverbs 12:11
Whoso is tilling the ground is satisfied [with] bread, And whoso is pursuing vanities is lacking heart,
