I am no preacher, but, am a prime sinner and living in this world in HIS mercy. For a sinner like me too, when I read “The Holy Bible” KJV,  the following verses were given in the context of “Virtuous Woman” .


Pro 31:10. Who can find a virtuous woman?
for her price  is far above rubies.

11. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her,
so that he shall have no need of spoil.

12. She will do him good and not evil
all the days of her life.

13. She seeketh wool, and flax,
and worketh willingly with her hands.

14. She is like the merchants’ ships;
she bringeth her food from afar.

15. She riseth also while it is yet night,
and giveth meat to her household,
and a portion to her maidens.

16. She considereth a field, and buyeth it:
with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.

17. She girdeth her loins with strength,
and strengtheneth her arms.

18. She perceiveth that her merchandise  is good:
her candle goeth not out by night.

19. She layeth her hands to the spindle,
and her hands hold the distaff.

20. She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea,
she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.

21. She is not afraid of the snow for her household:
for all her household  are clothed with scarlet.

22. She maketh herself coverings of tapestry;
her clothing  is silk and purple.

23. Her husband is known in the gates,
when he sitteth among the elders of the land.

24. She maketh fine linen, and selleth  it;
and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.

25. Strength and honour  are her clothing;
and she shall rejoice in time to come.

26. She openeth her mouth with wisdom;
and in her tongue  is the law of kindness.

27. She looketh well to the ways of her household,
and eateth not the bread of idleness.

28. Her children arise up,
and call her blessed;
her husband  also,
and he praiseth her.

29. Many daughters have done virtuously,
but thou excellest them all.

30. Favour  is deceitful, and beauty  is vain:
but a woman  that feareth the LORD,
she shall be praised.

31. Give her of the fruit of her hands;
and let her own works praise her in the gates.

Rth-3:11 And now, my daughter, fear not;
I will do to thee all that thou requirest:
for all the city of my people doth know
that thou  art a virtuous woman.

Pro 12:4 A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband:
but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.

Pro 31:10 Who can find a virtuous woman?
for her price is far above rubies.

Pro 31:29 Many daughters have done virtuously,
but thou excellest them all.

I am no preacher, but, am a prime sinner and living in this world in HIS mercy. For a sinner like me too, when I read “The Holy Bible” KJV,  the following verses were given in the context of “Mouth”  from the Psalmist .

Psa 5:9 For  there is no faithfulness in their mouth;
their inward part  is very wickedness;
their throat  is an open sepulchre;
they flatter with their tongue.

Psa 8:2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings
hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies,
that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

Psa 10:7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud:
under his tongue  is mischief and vanity.

Psa 17:3 Thou hast proved mine heart;
thou hast visited  me in the night;
thou hast tried me,  and shalt find nothing;
I am purposed  that my mouth shall not transgress.

Psa 17:10 They are inclosed in their own fat:
with their mouth they speak proudly.

Psa 18:8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils,
and fire out of his mouth devoured:
coals were kindled by it.

Psa 19:14 Let the words of my mouth,
and the meditation of my heart,
be acceptable in thy sight,
O LORD, my strength,
and my redeemer.

Psa 22:13 They gaped upon me  with their mouths,
as a ravening and a roaring lion.

Psa 22:21 Save me from the lion’s mouth:
for thou hast heard me
from the horns of the unicorns.

Psa 32:9 Be ye not as the horse,
or as the mule,
which have no understanding:
whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle,
lest they come near unto thee.

Psa 33:6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made;
and all the host of them
by the breath of his mouth.

Psa 34:1 < A Psalm of David, when he changed his behaviour
before Abimelech; who drove him away, and he departed.>
I will bless the LORD at all times:
his praise  shall continually  be in my mouth.

Psa 35:21 Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me,
and said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen  it.

Psa 36:3 The words of his mouth  are iniquity and deceit:
he hath left off to be wise,  and to do good.

Psa 37:30 The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom,
and his tongue talketh of judgment.

Psa 38:13 But I, as a deaf  man, heard not;
and  I was as a dumb man  that openeth not his mouth.

Psa 38:14 Thus I was as a man that heareth not,
and in whose mouth  are no reproofs.

Psa 39:1 Jeduthun, A Psalm of David.>
I said, I will take heed to my ways,
that I sin not with my tongue:
I will keep my mouth with a bridle,
while the wicked is before me.

Psa 39:9 I was dumb,
I opened not my mouth;
because thou didst  it.

Psa 40:3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth,
even praise unto our God:
many shall see  it,
and fear,
and shall trust in the LORD.

Psa 49:3 My mouth shall speak of wisdom;
and the meditation of my heart  shall be of understanding.

Psa 50:16 But unto the wicked God saith,
What hast thou to do to declare my statutes,
or  that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?

Psa 50:19 Thou givest thy mouth to evil,
and thy tongue frameth deceit.

Psa 51:15 O Lord, open thou my lips;
and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.

Psa 54:2 Hear my prayer, O God;
give ear to the words of my mouth.

Psa 55:21  The words of his mouth were smoother than butter,
but war  was in his heart:
his words were softer than oil,
yet  were they drawn swords.

Psa 58:6 Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth:
break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD.

Psa 59:7 Behold, they belch out with their mouth:
swords  are in their lips:
for who,  say they, doth hear?

Psa 59:12  For the sin of their mouth
and the words of their lips
let them even be taken in their pride:
and for cursing and lying  which they speak.

Psa 62:4 They only consult to cast  him down from his excellency:
they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth,
but they curse inwardly. Selah.

Psa 63:5 My soul shall be satisfied as  with marrow and fatness;
and my mouth shall praise  thee with joyful lips:

63:6 When I remember thee upon my bed,
and meditate on thee in the  night watches.

Psa 63:11 But the king shall rejoice in God;
every one that sweareth by him shall glory:
but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.

Psa 66:14 Which my lips have uttered,
and my mouth hath spoken,
when I was in trouble.

Psa 66:17 I cried unto him with my mouth,
and he was extolled with my tongue.

Psa 69:15 Let not the waterflood overflow me,
neither let the deep swallow me up,
and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.

Psa 71:8 Let my mouth be filled  with thy praise
and with thy honour all the day.

Psa 71:15 My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness 
and thy salvation all the day;
for I know not the numbers  thereof.

Psa 73:9 They set their mouth against the heavens,
and their tongue walketh through the earth.

Psa 78:1 <Maschil of Asaph.> Give ear, O my people,
to my law:
incline your ears
to the words of my mouth.

Psa 78:2 I will open my mouth in a parable:
I will utter dark sayings of old:

78:3 Which we have heard and known,
and our fathers have told us.

Psa 78:30 They were not estranged from their lust.
But while their meat  was yet in their mouths,

78:31 The wrath of God came upon them,
and slew the fattest of them,
and smote down the chosen  men of Israel.

Psa 78:36 Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth,
and they lied unto him with their tongues.

Psa 81:10 I  am the LORD thy God,
which brought thee out of the land of Egypt:
open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

Psa 89:1 <Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite.>
I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever:
with my mouth will I make known
thy faithfulness to all generations.

Psa 103:5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good  things;
so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

Psa 105:5 Remember his marvellous works
that he hath done;
his wonders,
and the judgments of his mouth;

105:6 O ye seed of Abraham his servant,
ye children of Jacob his chosen.

Psa 107:42 The righteous shall see  it,
and rejoice:
and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.

Psa 109:2 For the mouth of the wicked
and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me:
they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.

Psa 109:30 I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth;
yea, I will praise him among the multitude.

Psa 115:5 They have mouths,
but they speak not:
eyes have they,
but they see not:

115:6 They have ears,
but they hear not:
noses have they,
but they smell not:
115:7 They have hands,
but they handle not:
feet have they,
but they walk not:
neither speak they through their throat.

Psa 119:13 With my lips have I declared
all the judgments of thy mouth.

Psa 119:43 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth;
for I have hoped in thy judgments.

Psa 119:72 The law of thy mouth  is better unto me
than thousands of gold and silver.

Psa 119:88 Quicken me after thy lovingkindness;
so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth.

Psa 119:103 How sweet are thy words unto my taste!
yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!

Psa 119:108 Accept, I beseech thee,
the freewill offerings of my mouth,
O LORD, and teach me thy judgments.

Psa 119:131 I opened my mouth,
and panted:
for I longed for thy commandments.

Psa 126:2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter,
and our tongue with singing:
then said they among the heathen,
The LORD hath done great things for them.

Psa 135:16 They have mouths,
but they speak not;
eyes have they,
but they see not;

Psa 135:17 They have ears,
but they hear not;
neither is there  any breath
in their mouths.

Psa 137:6 If I do not remember thee,
let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth;
if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.

Psa 138:4 All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD,
when they hear the words of thy mouth.

Psa 141:3 Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth;
keep the door of my lips.

Psa 141:7 Our bones are scattered at the grave’s mouth,
as when one cutteth and cleaveth  wood upon the earth.

Psa 144:8 Whose mouth speaketh vanity,
and their right hand  is a right hand of falsehood.

Psa 144:11 Rid me, and deliver me
from the hand of strange children,
whose mouth speaketh vanity,
and their right hand  is a right hand of falsehood:

144:12 That our sons  may be as plants grown up in their youth;
that our daughters  may be as corner stones,
polished  after the similitude of a palace:
144:13  That our garners  may be full,
affording all manner of store:
that our sheep may bring forth thousands
and ten thousands in our streets:
144:14  That our oxen  may be strong to labour;
that there be no breaking in,
nor going out;
that  there be no complaining in our streets.

Psa 145:21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD:
and let all flesh bless his holy name
for ever and ever.

Psa 149:6  Let the high  praises of God  be in their mouth,
and a twoedged sword in their hand;

149:7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen,
and punishments upon the people;
149:8 To bind their kings with chains,
and their nobles with fetters of iron;
149:9 To execute upon them the judgment written:
this honour have all his saints.
Praise ye the LORD.

I am no preacher, but, am a prime sinner and living in this world in HIS mercy. For a sinner like me too, when I read “The Holy Bible” KJV,  the following verses were given in the context of “Mouth” from the New Testament.

Mat 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written,
Man shall not live by bread alone,
but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.                 (Deut 8:3)

Mat 5:2 And he opened his mouth,
and taught them, saying,

 3. Blessed  are the poor in spirit:
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Mat 12:34 O generation of vipers,
how can ye, being evil,
speak good things?
for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

Mat 13:35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
I will open my mouth in parables;
I will utter things which have been kept secret
from the foundation of the world.

Mat 15:8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth,
and honoureth me with  their lips;
but their heart is far from me.

Mat 15:11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man;
but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

Mat 15:17 Do not ye yet understand,
that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly,
and is cast out into the draught?

Mat 15:18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth
come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.

19. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts,
murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
20. These are  the things which defile a man:
but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.

Mat 17:27 Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them,
go thou to the sea,
and cast an hook,
and take up the fish that first cometh up;
and when thou hast opened his mouth,
thou shalt find a piece of money: that take,
and give unto them for me and thee.

Mat 18:15. Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee,
go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone:
if he shall hear thee,
thou hast gained thy brother.

Mat 18:16 But if he will not hear  thee,
then take with thee one or two more,
that in the mouth of two or three witnesses
every word may be established.

Mat 21:16 And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say?
And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read,
Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?

Luk 1:64 And his mouth was opened immediately,
and his tongue  loosed,
and he spake, and praised God.

Luk 1:70 As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets,
which have been since the world began:

72. To perform the mercy  promised to our fathers,
and to remember his holy covenant;
73. The oath which he sware to our father Abraham,
74. That he would grant unto us,
that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies
might serve him without fear,
75. In holiness and righteousness before him,
all the days of our life.

Luk 4:22 And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words
which proceeded out of his mouth.
And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?

Luk 6:45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart
bringeth forth that which is good;
and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart
bringeth forth that which is evil:
for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.

Luk 11:54 Laying wait for him,
and seeking to catch something out of his mouth,
that they might accuse him.

Luk 19:22 And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee,
thou wicked servant.
Thou knewest that I was an austere man,
taking up that I laid not down,
and reaping that I did not sow:

23. Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank,
that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?

Luk 21:15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom,
which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.

Luk 22:71 And they said, What need we any further witness?
for we ourselves have heard of his own mouth.

Joh 19:29 Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar:
and they filled a spunge with vinegar,
and put  it upon hyssop,
and put  it to his mouth.

Act 1:16 Men  and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled,
which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas,
which was guide to them that took Jesus.

Act 3:18 But those things, which God before had shewed
by the mouth of all his prophets,
that Christ should suffer,
he hath so fulfilled.

Act 3:21 Whom the heaven must receive
until the times of restitution of all things,
which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets
since the world began.

Act 4:25 Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said,
Why did the heathen rage,
and the people imagine vain things?

Act 8:32 The place of the scripture which he read was this,
He was led as a sheep to the slaughter;
and like a lamb dumb before his shearer,
so opened he not his mouth:

Act 8:35 Then Philip opened his mouth,
and began at the same scripture,
and preached unto him Jesus.

Act 10:34 Then Peter opened  his mouth, and said,
Of a truth I perceive
that God is no respecter of persons:

35. But in every nation he that feareth him,
and worketh righteousness,
is accepted with him.

Act 11:8 But I said, Not so, Lord:
for nothing common or unclean
hath at any time entered into my mouth.

Act 15:7 And when there had been much disputing,
Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men  and brethren,
ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us,
that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel,
and believe.

Act 15:27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas,
who shall also tell  you the same things by mouth.

Act 18:14 And when Paul was now about to open  his mouth,
Gallio said unto the Jews,
If it were a matter of wrong or wicked lewdness,
O  ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you:

Act 22:14 And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee,
that thou shouldest know his will,
and see that Just One,
and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth.

Act 23:2 And the high priest Ananias commanded them
that stood by him to smite him on the mouth.

Rom 3:13. Their throat  is an open sepulchre;
with their tongues they have used deceit;
the poison of asps  is under their lips:

Rom 3:14 Whose mouth  is full of cursing and bitterness:

15. Their feet  are swift to shed blood:
16. Destruction and misery  are in their ways:
17. And the way of peace have they not known:
18. There is no fear of God before their eyes.

Rom 3:19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith,
it saith to them who are under the law:
that every mouth may be stopped,
and all the world may become guilty before God.

Rom 10:8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee,
even in thy mouth, and in thy heart:
that is, the word of faith,
which we preach;

Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe in thine heart
that God hath raised him from the dead,
thou shalt be saved.

Rom 10:10 For with the heart man believeth
unto righteousness;
and with the mouth
confession is made unto salvation.

Rom 15:6 That ye may with one mind
and one mouth glorify God,
even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

1Co 9:9 For it is written in the law of Moses,
Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox
that treadeth out the corn.
Doth God take care for oxen?

2Co 6:11 O  ye Corinthians,
our mouth is open unto you,
our heart is enlarged.

2Co 13:1 This  is the third  time I am coming to you.
In the mouth of two or three witnesses
shall every word be established.

Eph 4:29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

Eph 6:19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,

Col 3:8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

2Th 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:

2Ti 4:17 Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me,
and strengthened me;
that by me the preaching might be fully known,
and  that all the Gentiles might hear:
and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

 Tit 1:10. For there are many unruly
and vain talkers
and deceivers,
specially they of the circumcision:

Tit 1:11 Whose mouths must be stopped,
who subvert whole houses,
teaching things which they ought not,
for filthy lucre’s sake.

Heb 11:33 Who through faith subdued kingdoms,
wrought righteousness,
obtained promises,
stopped the mouths of lions,

33. Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both
by reproaches and afflictions;
and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were so used.

Jam 3:2. For in many things we offend all.
If any man offend not in word,
the same  is a perfect man,
and able also to bridle the whole body.

Jam 3:3 Behold, we put bits in the horses’ mouths,
that they may obey us;
and we turn about their whole body.

4. Behold also the ships, which though  they be so great,
and  are driven of fierce winds,
yet are they turned about with a very small helm,
whithersoever the governor listeth.
5. Even so the tongue is a little member,
and boasteth great things.
Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!

Jam 3:10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing.
My brethren, these things ought not so to be.

11. Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet  water and bitter?
12. Can the fig tree, my brethren,
bear olive berries?
either a vine, figs?
so  can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.

1Pe 2:22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:

23. Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again;
when he suffered, he threatened not;
but committed  himself to him that judgeth righteously:
24. Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree,
that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness:
by whose stripes ye were healed.

Jud 1:16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts;
and their mouth speaketh great swelling  words,
having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage.

Rev 1:16 And he had in his right hand seven stars:
and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword:
and his countenance  was as the sun shineth in his strength.

Rev 2:16 Repent; or else
I will come unto thee quickly,
and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.

Rev 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm,
and neither cold nor hot,
I will spue thee out of my mouth.

Rev 9:17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision,
and them that sat on them,
having breastplates of fire,
and of jacinth,
and brimstone:
and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions;
and out of their mouths issued fire
and smoke and brimstone.

Rev 9:18 By these three was the third part of men killed,
by the fire,
and by the smoke,
and by the brimstone,
which issued out of their mouths.

Rev 9:19 For their power is in their mouth,
and in their tails:
for their tails  were like unto serpents,
and had heads,
and with them they do hurt.

Rev 10:9 And I went unto the angel,
and said unto him, Give me the little book.
And he said unto me, Take  it,
and eat it up;
and it shall make thy belly bitter,
but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.

Rev 10:10 And I took the little book out of the angel’s hand,
and ate it up;
and it was in my mouth sweet as honey:
and as soon as I had eaten it,
my belly was bitter.

Rev 11:5 And if any man will hurt them,
fire proceedeth out of their mouth,
and devoureth their enemies:
and if any man will hurt them,
he must in this manner be killed.

Rev 12:15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth
water as a flood after the woman,
that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.

Rev 12:16 And the earth helped the woman,
and the earth opened her mouth,
and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.

Rev 13:2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard,
and his feet were as  the feet of a bear,
and his mouth as the mouth of a lion:
and the dragon gave him his power,
and his seat,
and great authority.

Rev 13:5 And there was given unto him
a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies;
and power was given unto him
to continue forty  and two months.

Rev 13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God,
to blaspheme his name,
and his tabernacle,
and them that dwell in heaven.

Rev 14:5 And in their mouth was found no guile:
for they are without fault
before the throne of God.

Rev 16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs  come out of the mouth of the dragon,
and out of the mouth of the beast,
and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

Rev 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword,
that with it he should smite the nations:
and he shall rule them with a rod of iron:
and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness
and wrath of Almighty God.

Rev 19:21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him
that sat upon the horse,
which  sword proceeded out of his mouth:
and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah,
while the ark was a preparing,
wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.

1Pe 4:18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved,
where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

2Pe 2:5 And spared not the old world,
but saved Noah the eighth  person,
a preacher of righteousness,
bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;

6. And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha
into ashes condemned  them with an overthrow,
making  them an ensample unto those
that after should live ungodly;
7. And delivered just Lot,
vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:
8. (For that righteous man dwelling among them,
in seeing and hearing, vexed  his righteous soul
from day to day with  their unlawful deeds;)
9. The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations,
and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
10. But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness,
and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled,
they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.

Jud 1:5 I will therefore put you in remembrance,
though ye once knew this,
how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt,
afterward destroyed them that believed not.

Rev 21:24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it:
and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.

Behold, thou  art with child,
and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael;
because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.

and she called his name Reuben:
for she said, Surely the LORD hath looked upon my affliction;
now therefore my husband will love me.

Gen 31:42 Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham,
and the fear of Isaac, had been with me,
surely thou hadst sent me away now empty.
God hath seen mine affliction and the labour of my hands,
and rebuked  thee yesternight.

For God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.

for I know their sorrows;

unto the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites,
and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites,
unto a land flowing with milk and honey.

Exo 4:31 And the people believed: and when they heard
that the LORD had visited the children of Israel,
and that he had looked upon their affliction,
then they bowed their heads and worshipped.

Deu 16:3 Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it;
seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread therewith,
even the bread of affliction;
for thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt in haste:
that thou mayest remember the day
when thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy life.

Deu 26:7 And when we cried unto the LORD God of our fathers,
the LORD heard our voice,
and looked on our affliction,
and our labour,
and our oppression:

1Sa 1:11 And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts,
if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid,
and remember me,
and not forget thine handmaid,
but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child,
then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life,
and there shall no razor come upon his head.

2Sa 16:12 It may be that the LORD will look on mine affliction,
and that the LORD will requite me good for his cursing this day.

judgment,
or pestilence,
or famine,
we stand before this house,
and in thy presence,
(for thy name  is in this house,)
and cry unto thee in our affliction,
then thou wilt hear and help.

2Ch 33:12 And when he was in affliction,
he besought the LORD his God,
and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,

Neh 1:3 And they said unto me, The remnant that are left of the captivity
there in the province  are in great affliction and reproach:
the wall of Jerusalem also  is broken down,
and the gates thereof are burned with fire.

Neh 9:9 And didst see the affliction of our fathers in Egypt,
and heardest their cry by the Red sea;

6:6 By pureness,
by knowledge,
by longsuffering,
by kindness,
by the Holy Ghost,
by love unfeigned,
6:7 By the word of truth,
by the power of God,
by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,

An evening at Delhi, India

I am no preacher, but, am a prime sinner and living in this world in HIS mercy. For a sinner like me too, when I read “The Holy Bible” KJV,  the following verses were given in the context of “Covet(ous)”. 

Exo 18:21 Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men,
such as fear God, men of truth,
hating covetousness;
and place  such over them,
to be rulers of thousands,
and rulers of hundreds,
rulers of fifties,
and rulers of tens:

18:22 And let them judge the people at all seasons: and it shall be,
that every great matter they shall bring unto thee,
but every small matter they shall judge:
so shall it be easier for thyself,
and they shall bear  the burden with thee.

Psa 10:3 For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire,
and blesseth the covetous,
whom the LORD abhorreth.

Psa 119:36 Incline my heart unto thy testimonies,
and not to covetousness.

Pro 28:16 The prince that wanteth understanding  is also a great oppressor:
but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong  his days.

7:15 All  things have I seen in the days of my vanity:
there is a just  man that perisheth in his righteousness,
and there is a wicked  man that prolongeth  his life in his wickedness.

Isa 57:17 For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth,
and smote him: I hid me,
and was wroth,
and he went on frowardly in the way of his heart.

Jer 6:13 For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them
every one  is given to covetousness;
and from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.

Jer 8:10 Therefore will I give their wives unto others,
and their fields to them that shall inherit  them:
for every one from the least even unto the greatest is given to covetousness,
from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.

Jer 22:16 He judged the cause of the poor and needy;
then  it was well  with him:
was not this to know me? saith the LORD.

Jer 22:17 But thine eyes and thine heart  are not but for thy covetousness,
and for to shed innocent blood,
and for oppression,
and for violence, to do  it.

Jer 51:13 O thou that dwellest upon many waters,
abundant in treasures,
thine end is come,
and the measure of thy covetousness.

Eze 33:31 And they come unto thee as the people cometh,
and they sit before thee  as my people,
and they hear thy words,
but they will not do them:
for with their mouth they shew much love,
but their heart goeth after their covetousness.

Hab 2:9 Woe to him that coveteth an evil covetousness to his house,
that he may set his nest on high,
that he may be delivered from the power of evil!

Mar 7:20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man,
that defileth the man.
Mar 7:21 For from within, out of the heart of men,
proceed evil thoughts,
adulteries,
fornications,
murders,

Mar 7:22 Thefts,
covetousness,
wickedness,
deceit,
lasciviousness,
an evil eye,
blasphemy,
pride,
foolishness:

Mar 7:23 All these evil things come from within,
and defile the man.

Luk 12:15 And he said unto them,
Take heed, and beware of covetousness:
for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things
which he possesseth.

Luk 16:14 And the Pharisees also, who were covetous,
heard all these things:
and they derided him.

Rom 1:29 Being filled with all unrighteousness,
fornication,
wickedness,
covetousness,
maliciousness;
full of envy,
murder,
debate,
deceit,
malignity;
whisperers,

1:30 Backbiters,
haters of God,
despiteful,
proud,
boasters,
inventors of evil things,
disobedient to parents,
1:31 Without understanding,
covenantbreakers,
without natural affection,
implacable,
unmerciful:
1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God,
that they which commit such things are worthy of death,
not only do the same,
but have pleasure in them that do them.

1Co 5:10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world,
or with the covetous,
or extortioners,
or with idolaters;
for then must ye needs go out of the world.

1Co 5:11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company,
if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator,
or covetous,
or an idolater,
or a railer,
or a drunkard,
or an extortioner;
with such an one no not to eat.

1Co 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God?
Be not deceived:
neither fornicators,
nor idolaters,
nor adulterers,
nor effeminate,
nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

1Co 6:10 Nor thieves,
nor covetous,
nor drunkards,
nor revilers,
nor extortioners,
shall inherit the kingdom of God.

2Co 9:5 Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren,
that they would go before unto you,
and make up beforehand your bounty,
whereof ye had notice before,
that the same might be ready,
as  a matter of bounty,
and not as  of covetousness.

Eph 5:3 But fornication,
and all uncleanness,
or covetousness,
let it not be once named among you,
as becometh saints;

5:4 Neither filthiness,
nor foolish talking,
nor jesting,
which are not convenient:
but rather giving of thanks.

Eph 5:5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger,
nor unclean person,
nor covetous man,
who is an idolater,
hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

Col 3:5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth;
fornication,
uncleanness,
inordinate affection,
evil concupiscence,
and covetousness, which is idolatry:

1Th 2:5 For neither at any time used we flattering words,
as ye know,
nor a cloke of covetousness;
God  is witness:

2:6 Nor of men sought we glory,
neither of you,
nor  yet of others,
when we might have been burdensome,
as the apostles of Christ.

1Ti 3:3 Not given to wine,
no striker,
not greedy of filthy lucre;
but patient,
not a brawler,
not covetous;

3:4 One that ruleth well his own house,
having his children in subjection with all gravity;
3:5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house,
how shall he take care of the church of God?)
3:6 Not a novice,
lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.

2Ti 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves,
covetous,
boasters,
proud,
blasphemers,
disobedient to parents,
unthankful,
unholy,

3:3 Without natural affection,
trucebreakers,
false accusers,
incontinent,
fierce,
despisers of those that are good,
3:4 Traitors,
heady,
highminded,
lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
3:5 Having a form of godliness,
but denying the power thereof:
from such turn away.

Heb 13:5  Let your conversation  be without covetousness;
and be content with such things as ye have:
for he hath said, I will never leave thee,
nor forsake thee.

2Pe 2:3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words
make merchandise of you:
whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not,
and their damnation slumbereth not.

2Pe 2:14 Having eyes full of adultery,
and that cannot cease from sin;
beguiling unstable souls:
an heart they have exercised with covetous practices;
cursed children:

2:15 Which have forsaken the right way,
and are gone astray,
following the way of Balaam  the son of Bosor,
who loved the wages of unrighteousness;
2:16 But was rebuked for his iniquity:
the dumb ass speaking with man’s voice
forbad the madness of the prophet.

Darkness – from the New Testament – The Holy Bible (KJV)

February 3, 2013 Leave a comment


I am no preacher, but, am a prime sinner and living in this world in HIS mercy. For a sinner like me too, when I read “The Holy Bible” KJV,  the following verses were given in the context of “Darkness”  from The Holy Bible.

Mat 4:16 The people which sat in darkness saw great light;
and to them which sat in the region
and shadow of death light is sprung up.

Mat 6:23 But if thine eye be evil,
thy whole body shall be full of darkness.
If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness,
how great  is that darkness!

Mat 8:11 And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west,
and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob,
in the kingdom of heaven.

Mat 8:12 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness:
there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Mat 10:27 What I tell you in darkness,
that speak ye in light:
and what ye hear in the ear,
that preach ye upon the housetops.

Mat 22:13 Then said the king to the servants,
Bind him hand and foot,
and take him away,
and cast  him into outer darkness;
there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Mat 25:30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness:
there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Mat 27:45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness
over all the land unto the ninth hour.

Mar 15:33 And when the sixth hour was come,
there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.

Luk 1:79 To give light to them that sit in darkness
and  in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet into the way of peace.

Luk 11:34 The light of the body is the eye:
therefore when thine eye is single,
thy whole body also is full of light;
but when  thine eye is evil,
thy body also  is full of darkness.

Luk 11:35 Take heed therefore that the light
which is in thee be not darkness.

Luk 12:3 Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken
in darkness shall be heard in the light;
and that which ye have spoken
in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.

Luk 22:53 When I was daily with you in the temple,
ye stretched forth no hands against me:
but this is your hour,
and the power of darkness.

Luk 23:44 And it was about the sixth hour,
and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.

Joh 1:5 And the light shineth in darkness;
and the darkness comprehended it not.

Joh 3:19 And this is the condemnation,
that light is come into the world,
and men loved darkness rather than light,
because their deeds were evil.

Joh 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying,
I am the light of the world:
he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness,
but shall have the light of life.

Joh 12:35 Then Jesus said unto them,
Yet a little while is the light with you.
Walk while ye have the light,
lest darkness come upon you:
for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.

Joh 12:46 I am come a light into the world,
that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.

Act 2:20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,
and the moon into blood,
before that great and notable day of the Lord come:

Act 13:11 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord  is upon thee,
and thou shalt be blind,
not seeing the sun for a season.
And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness;
and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.

Act 26:18 To open their eyes,
and to turn  them from darkness to light,
and  from the power of Satan unto God,
that they may receive forgiveness of sins,
and inheritance among them
which are sanctified by faith that is in me.

Rom 2:19 And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind,
a light of them which are in darkness,

Rom 13:12 The night is far spent,
the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness,
and let us put on the armour of light.

1Co 4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the time,
until the Lord come,
who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness,
and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts:
and then shall every man have praise of God.

2Co 4:6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness,
hath shined in our hearts,
to  give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God
in the face of Jesus Christ.

2Co 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers:
for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness?
and what communion hath light with darkness?

Eph 5:8 For ye were sometimes darkness,
but now  are ye light in the Lord:
walk as children of light:

Eph 5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness,
but rather reprove  them.

Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood,
but against principalities,
against powers,
against the rulers of the darkness of this world,
against spiritual wickedness in high  places.

Col 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness,
and hath translated  us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

1Th 5:4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness,
that that day should overtake you as a thief.

1Th 5:5 Ye are all the children of light,
and the children of the day:
we are not of the night,
nor of darkness.

Heb 12:18 For ye are not come unto the mount
that might be touched,
and that burned with fire,
nor unto blackness,
and darkness,
and tempest,

1Pe 2:9 But ye  are a chosen generation,
a royal priesthood,
an holy nation,
a peculiar people;
that ye should shew forth the praises of him
who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

2Pe 2:4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned,
but cast  them down to hell,
and delivered  them into chains of darkness,
to be reserved unto judgment;

2:5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth  person,
a preacher of righteousness,
bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
2:6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha
into ashes condemned  them with an overthrow,
making  them an ensample
unto those that after should live ungodly;
2:7 And delivered just Lot,
vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:
2:8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them,
in seeing and hearing,
vexed  his righteous soul from day to day
with  their unlawful deeds;)
2:9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations,
and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
2:10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh
in the lust of uncleanness,
and despise government.
Presumptuous  are they,
selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.

2Pe 2:17 These are wells without water,
clouds that are carried with a tempest;
to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.

1Jo 1:5 This then is the message which we have heard of him,
and declare unto you,
that God is light,
and in him is no darkness at all.

1Jo 1:6 If we say that we have fellowship with him,
and walk in darkness,
we lie,
and do not the truth:

1:7 But if we walk in the light,
as he is in the light,
we have fellowship one with another,
and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

1Jo 2:8 Again, a new commandment I write unto you,
which thing is true in him and in you:
because the darkness is past,
and the true light now shineth.

1Jo 2:9 He that saith he is in the light,
and hateth his brother,
is in darkness even until now.

1Jo 2:11 But he that hateth his brother is in darkness,
and walketh in darkness,
and knoweth not whither he goeth,
because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.

Jud 1:6 And the angels which kept not their first estate,
but left their own habitation,
he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness
unto the judgment of the great day.

Jud 1:13 Raging waves of the sea,
foaming out their own shame;
wandering stars,
to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.

Rev 16:10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast;
and his kingdom was full of darkness;
and they gnawed their tongues for pain,

Rev 16:11 And blasphemed the God of heaven
because of their pains and their sores,
and repented not of their deeds.

I Received the following through mail,
I have produced it for an understanding.

A message of warning against tale-bearing!
C.H.Spurgeon/The showdown before the Revival
Dec 13, 2004

“Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people … Thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.”-(Leviticus 19:16, 17)

Tale-bearing emits a threefold poison; for it injures the teller, the hearer, and the person concerning whom the tale is told. Whether the report be true or false, we are by this precept of God’s Word forbidden to spread it.

The reputations of the Lord’s people should be very precious in our sight, and we should count it shame to help the devil to dishonour the Church and the name of the Lord. Some tongues need a bridle rather than a spur. Many glory in pulling down their brethren, as if thereby they raised themselves.

Noah’s wise sons cast a mantle over their father, and he who exposed him earned a fearful curse. We may ourselves one of these dark days need forbearance and silence from our brethren, let us render it cheerfully to those who require it now. Be this our family rule, and our personal bond-SPEAK EVIL OF NO MAN.

The Holy Spirit, however, permits us to censure sin, and prescribes the way in which we are to do it. It must be done by rebuking our brother to his face, not by railing behind his back. This course is manly, brotherly, Christlike, and under God’s blessing will be useful. Does the flesh shrink from it?

Then we must lay the greater stress upon our conscience, and keep ourselves to the work, lest by suffering sin upon our friend we become ourselves partakers of it. Hundreds have been saved from gross sins by the timely, wise, affectionate warnings of faithful ministers and brethren. Our Lord Jesus has set us a gracious example of how to deal with erring friends in His warning given to Peter, the prayer with which He preceded it, and the gentle way in which He bore with Peter’s boastful denial that he needed such a caution.
