Expectation and Shouting

When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish: and the hope of unjust men perisheth. The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead. An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered. When it goeth well with the righteous, the city …

The Contrast of Wisdom and Folly

Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars: she hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table.

When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;  Judah was His sanctuary, and Israel His dominion. The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.  The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs. What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? Thou …
