And that he would shew thee the secrets of wisdom, that they are double to that which is! Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth.

Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?

Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears.

And one of his servants said, None, my lord, O king: but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber.

Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.

Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.

He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.

Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.

But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

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.

Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.

For the morning is to them even as the shadow of death: if one know them, they are in the terrors of the shadow of death.

There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.

Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name:

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