Exodus 21:24: “Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,” Matthew 5:38: “Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right
John 5:44 “How can ye believe, which receive honor one of another, and seek not the honor that [cometh] from God only?” Last night I was sort of feeling sorry for myself so I decided to cheer myself up a little and go to Amazon.com and look up the reviews on my books
Jeremiah 7:24: “But they harkened not nor inclined their ear.” I get the part of not harkening unto the Word of God which is the context here. I mean God spells out in his Word what we are to do and not to do. The Bible tells us not to steal, so if

Isaiah 30:18: “Therefore will the Lord wait, that He may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted to have mercy on you. For Jehovah is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for Him.” This looks pretty clear cut. The Lord will wait so that He may be gracious
Isaiah 28:23: “Give ye ear, hear my voice, hearken and hear my speech.” If you really want to light my boiler fire, just ask: “Well, what is God saying to you about this.” My guaranteed first strike would be: “If I knew what God was saying to me I wouldn’t be sitting here
Isaiah 50:7: “For the Lord God shall help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed,” Practically every translation I read this verse in will translate ‘azar as help or helper. There are no too many options
