Ecclesiastes 5:19: “Every man also to whom God has given riches and wealth and hath given power to eat thereof and to take his portion and to rejoice in his labor, this is the gift of God.” Ecclesiastes 6:2: “A man to whom God has given riches, wealth and honor so that he
Haggai 2:17: “I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the labors of your hands; yet you turned not to me, saith the Lord?” I have a friend who recently called me a sentimental old goat. To be fair, I called myself that and she was just agreeing. But
Ezekiel 39:25, 29: (25)”Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Now will I bring the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name.” (29) “Neither will I hide my face anymore from them, for I have poured out my Spirit upon the house of
Hosea 11:8: “How shall I give thee up Ephraim? How shall I deliver thee, Israel? How shall I make thee as Admah? How shall I set thee as Zeboim. My heart is turned within me, my repenting’s are kindled together.” If you never experience a broken heart you are either not a member of

Psalms 27:1 “The LORD [is] my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD [is] the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” Here is something curious, fear and afraid, same thing, right? In English it is, yet in the Hebrew there are two different words. Only 7,500 words
