2 Timothy 3:1-5 π
But understand this, that in the last days difficult times will come.
For people will be lovers of themselves,
lovers of money,
boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,
unloving, irreconcilable, slanderers, without self-control, savage, opposed to what is good,
treacherous, reckless, conceited, loving pleasure rather than loving God.
They will maintain the outward appearance of religion...avoid people like these.
Jeremiah 23:14-15, 17 (WEB) π
In the prophets of Jerusalem I have also seen a horrible thing: they commit adultery and walk in lies. They strengthen the hands of evildoers, so that no one returns from his wickedness....
They say continually to those who despise me, βYahweh has said, βYou will have peace;ββ and to everyone who walks in the stubbornness of his own heart they say, βNo evil will come on you.β
Jeremiah 3:12-14 π
....βCome back to me, wayward Israel,β says the Lord. βI will not continue to look on you with displeasure. For I am merciful,β says the Lord. βI will not be angry with you forever.
However, you must confess that you have done wrong, and that you have rebelled against the Lord your God. You must confess that you have given yourself to foreign gods under every green tree, and have not obeyed my commands,β says the Lord.
βCome back to me...
Zechariah 8:2-3, 7 π
βThe Lord who rules over all says, βI am very much concerned for Zion; indeed, I am so concerned for her that my rage will fall on those who hurt her.β
The Lord says, βI have returned to Zion and will live within Jerusalem.
Now Jerusalem will be called βtruthful city,β βmountain of the Lord who rules over all,β βholy mountain.ββ
βThe Lord who rules over all asserts, βI am about to save my people from the lands of the east and the west.
Psalms 94:12-13, 18-19 π
Blessed is the man whom you chasten, O LORD, and teach him out of your law;
That you may give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be dug for the wicked.
When I said, My foot slips; your mercy, O LORD, held me up.
In the multitude of my thoughts within me your comforts delight my soul.
Humility is perfect quietness of heart. It is to expect
nothing, to wonder at nothing that is done to me, to
feel nothing done against me. It is to be at rest when
nobody praises me, and when I am blamed or
despised. It is to have a blessed home in the Lord,
where I can go in and shut the door, and kneel to my
Father in secret, and am at peace as in a deep sea
of calmness, when all around and above is trouble.

Matthew 5:10-12 π
βBlessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to them.
βBlessed are you when people insult you and persecute you and say all kinds of evil things about you falsely on account of me.
Rejoice and be glad because your reward is great in heaven, for they persecuted the prophets before you in the same way.
Hebrews 4:14-16 (NHEB) π
Having then a great high priest, who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold tightly to our confession.
For we do not have a high priest who cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin.
Let us therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace for help in time of need.
Song of Solomon 1:3 (UKJV) π
Because of the savour of your good ointments your name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love you.
Psalms 29:1-2 π
Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty, give unto the LORD glory and strength.
Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.

Micah 7:18-19 (UKJV) π
Who is a God like unto you, that pardons iniquity, and passes by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage?
He retains not his anger for ever, because he delights in mercy.
He will return, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and you will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
Proverbs 21:13, 25-26 π
He who shuts his ear to the cry of the poor
Will also cry himself and not be answered.
The desire of the sluggard puts him to death,
For his hands refuse to work; All day long he is craving,
While the righteous gives and does not hold back.

Pete Seeger sings it:
Psalms 141:2-4 π
May my prayer be counted as incense before You; π
The lifting up of my hands as the evening offering. π
Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth;
Keep watch over the door of my lips.
Do not incline my heart to any evil thing,
To practice deeds of wickedness
With men who do iniquity;
And do not let me eat of their delicacies.
1 Timothy 1:17 π
Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
