Scriptures

1 Corinthians 1:27-29
“But God chose what the world considers nonsense in order to shame the wise; God chose what the world considers weak in order to shame the strong; and God chose what the world looks down on as common or regards as nothing in order to bring to nothing what the world considers important; so that no one should boast before God.”

1 Corinthians 1:8
“He will enable you to hold out until the end and thus be blameless on the Day of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.”

2 Kings 2:9a
“Elisha said, “Please! Let a double share of your spirit be on me!”

Psalm 90:12
“So teach us to count our days, so that we will become wise. ”

Jeremiah 1:5a
“Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you; before you were born, I separated you for myself. I have appointed you to be a prophet to the nations..”

Zechariah 3:7
“ADONAI-Tzva’ot says this: ‘If you will walk in my ways, obey my commission, judge my house and guard my courtyards; then I will give you free access among these who are standing here.

1 Kings 3:9
“Therefore, give your servant an understanding heart able to administer justice to your people, so that I can discern between good and bad – for who is equal to judging this great people of yours?”

2 Chronicles 7:14
“Then, if my people, who bear my name, will humble themselves, pray, seek my face and turn from their evil ways, I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin and heal their land.”

“For I have set you an example, so that you may do as I have done to you.”

Joel 2:12-18
“Yet even now,” says ADONAI, “turn to me with all your heart, with fasting, weeping and lamenting.”
Tear your heart, not your garments; and turn to ADONAI your God. For he is merciful and compassionate, slow to anger, rich in grace, and willing to change his mind about disaster.
Who knows? He may turn, change his mind and leave a blessing behind him, [enough for] grain offerings and drink offerings to present to ADONAI your God.
“Blow the shofar in Tziyon! Proclaim a holy fast, call for a solemn assembly.”
Gather the people; consecrate the congregation; assemble the leaders; gather the children, even infants sucking at the breast; let the bridegroom leave his room and the bride the bridal chamber.
Let the cohanim, who serve ADONAI, stand weeping between the vestibule and the altar. Let them say, “Spare your people, ADONAI! Don’t expose your heritage to mockery, or make them a byward among the Goyim. Why should the peoples say, ‘Where is their God?’”
Then ADONAI will become jealous for his land and have pity on his people.”

Isaiah 1:18-20
“Come now,” says ADONAI, “let’s talk this over together. Even if your sins are like scarlet, they will be white as snow; even if they are red as crimson, they will be like wool. If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the good of the land; but if you refuse and rebel, you will be eaten by the sword”; for the mouth of ADONAI has spoken.”

Isaiah 6:6-10
“One of the s’rafim flew to me with a glowing coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar.
He touched my mouth with it and said, “Here! This has touched your lips. Your iniquity is gone, your sin is atoned for.”
Then I heard the voice of Adonai saying, “Whom should I send? Who will go for us?” I answered, “I’m here, send me!”
He said, “Go and tell this people: ‘Yes, you hear, but you don’t understand. You certainly see, but you don’t get the point!’
“Make the heart of this people [sluggish with] fat, stop up their ears, and shut their eyes. Otherwise, seeing with their eyes, and hearing with their ears, then understanding with their hearts, they might repent and be healed!”

Isaiah 5:20-21
“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who change darkness into light and light into darkness, who change bitter into sweet and sweet into bitter!
Woe to those seeing themselves as wise, esteeming themselves as clever. ”

Isaiah 43:1
“But now this is what ADONAI says, he who created you, Ya’akov, he who formed you, Isra’el: “Don’t be afraid, for I have redeemed you; I am calling you by your name; you are mine.”

Proverbs 27:21
“The crucible [tests] silver, and the furnace [tests] gold, but a person [is tested] by [his reaction to] praise.”

Proverbs 29:11
“A fool gives vent to all his feelings, but the wise, thinking of afterwards, stills them.”

Jeremiah 3:12-13
“Go and proclaim these words toward the north: ‘”Return, backsliding Isra’el,” says ADONAI. “I will not frown on you, for I am merciful,” says ADONAI. “I will not bear a grudge forever.
Only acknowledge your guilt, that you have committed crimes against ADONAI your God, that you were promiscuous with strangers under every green tree, and that you have not paid attention to my voice,” says ADONAI.”

Jeremiah 3:22
“Return, backsliding children, and I will heal your backsliding.” “Here we are, we are coming to you, for you are ADONAI our God.”

Jeremiah 4:2
“And if you will swear, ‘As ADONAI lives,’ in truth, justice and righteousness; then the nations will bless themselves by him, and in him will they glory.”

Jeremiah 4:3b-4
“For here is what ADONAI says to the people of Y’hudah and Yerushalayim: “Break up your ground that hasn’t been plowed, and do not sow among thorns.”
“People of Y’hudah and inhabitants of Yerushalayim, circumcise yourselves for ADONAI, remove the foreskins of your heart! Otherwise my fury will lash out like fire, burning so hot that no one can quench it, because of how evil your actions are. ”

Jeremiah 6:16
“Here is what ADONAI says: “Stand at the crossroads and look; ask about the ancient paths, ‘Which one is the good way?’ Take it, and you will find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘We will not take it.”

Jeremiah 8:4-7
“You are to tell them that ADONAI says: ‘If a person falls, doesn’t he get up again? If someone goes astray, doesn’t he turn back?
Why do these people keep backsliding? Why is their backsliding so persistent? They cling to deceit and refuse to return!
I listened attentively but they spoke nothing right. No one repents of his wickedness, saying, “What have I done!” Each runs off in his own direction, like a horse plunging headlong into battle.
Storks in the sky know their seasons; doves, swallows and cranes their migration times; but my people do not know the rulings of ADONAI! ”

Ephesians 6:12-13
“For we are not struggling against human beings, but against the rulers, authorities and cosmic powers governing this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realm.
So take up every piece of war equipment God provides; so that when the evil day comes, you will be able to resist; and when the battle is won, you will still be standing.”

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
“ For everything there is a season, a right time for every intention under heaven a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to throw stones and a time to gather stones, a time to embrace and a time to refrain, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to discard, a time to tear and a time to sew, a time to keep silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.”

Ecclesiastes 3:11
“He has made everything suited to its time; also, he has given human beings an awareness of eternity; but in such a way that they can’t fully comprehend, from beginning to end, the things God does. ”

Psalms 103:12
“He has removed our sins from us as far as the east is from the west. ”

2 Timothy 1:7
“For God gave us a Spirit who produces not timidity, but power, love and self-discipline.”

1 Corinthians 14:35
“and if there is something they want to know, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is shameful for a woman to speak out in a congregational meeting.”
