Bezalel, Oholiab, and all the skilled[fn] people are to work based on everything the LORD has commanded. The LORD has given them wisdom and understanding to know how to do all the work of constructing the sanctuary.”

“Therefore, observe the words of this covenant and follow them, so that you will succeed in everything you do.

Remember the days of old;

consider the years of past generations.

your elders, and they will teach you.

If only they were wise, they would comprehend this;

they would understand their fate.

“This book of instruction must not depart from your mouth; you are to meditate on[fn] it day and night so that you may carefully observe everything written in it. For then you will prosper and succeed in whatever you do.

Those who oppose the LORD will be shattered;[fn]

he will thunder in the heavens against them.

The LORD will judge the ends of the earth.

He will give power to his king;

he will lift up the horn of his anointed.[fn]

and continued to be successful in all his activities because the LORD was with him.

When David saw that his servants were whispering to each other, he guessed that the baby was dead. So he asked his servants, “Is the baby dead? ”

“He is dead,” they replied.

“and keep your obligation to the LORD your God to walk in his ways and to keep his statutes, commands, ordinances, and decrees. This is written in the law of Moses, so that you will have success in everything you do and wherever you turn,

“So give your servant a receptive heart to judge your people and to discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of yours? ”

The LORD was with him, and wherever he went he prospered. He rebelled against the king of Assyria and did not serve him.

They numbered 288 together with their relatives who were all trained and skillful in music for the LORD.

“You do not have to fight this battle. Position yourselves, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD. He is with you, Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid or discouraged. Tomorrow, go out to face them, for the LORD is with you.’ ”

The men were doing the work with integrity. Their overseers were Jahath and Obadiah, Levites from the Merarites, and Zechariah and Meshullam from the Kohathites as supervisors. The Levites were all skilled with musical instruments.

I gathered them at the river[fn] that flows to Ahava, and we camped there for three days. I searched among the people and priests, but found no Levites there.

On the first day of the seventh month, the priest Ezra brought the law before the assembly of men, women, and all who could listen with understanding.

They read out of the book of the law of God, translating and giving the meaning so that the people could understand what was read.

Then all the people began to eat and drink, send portions, and have a great celebration, because they had understood the words that were explained to them.

The rest of the people ​— ​the priests, Levites, gatekeepers, singers, and temple servants, along with their wives, sons, and daughters, everyone who is able to understand and who has separated themselves from the surrounding peoples to obey the law of God ​— ​

so I could return to Jerusalem. Then I discovered the evil that Eliashib had done on behalf of Tobiah by providing him a room in the courts of God’s house.

What do you know that we don’t?

What do you understand that is not clear to us?

This is why my unsettling thoughts compel me to answer,

because I am upset![fn]

I have made a covenant with my eyes.

How then could I look at a young woman?[fn]

I paid close attention to you.

Yet no one proved Job wrong;

not one of you refuted his arguments.

Indeed, my words are not false;

one who has complete knowledge is with you.

Can you fasten the chains of the Pleiades

or loosen the belt of Orion?

So now, kings, be wise;

receive instruction, you judges of the earth.

Listen to my words, LORD;

consider my sighing.

The LORD looks down from heaven on the human race[fn]

to see if there is one who is wise,

one who seeks God.

Who perceives his unintentional sins?

Cleanse me from my hidden faults.

Because they do not consider

what the LORD has done

or the work of his hands,

he will tear them down and not rebuild them.

He forms the hearts of them all;

he considers all their works.

The words from his mouth are malicious and deceptive;

he has stopped acting wisely and doing good.

Happy is one who is considerate of the poor;

the LORD will save him in a day of adversity.

But despite his assets,[fn] mankind will not last;

he is like the animals that perish.

Mankind, with his assets

but without understanding,

is like the animals that perish.

“Understand this, you who forget God,

or I will tear you apart,

and there will be no one to rescue you.

God looks down from heaven on the human race[fn]

to see if there is one who is wise,

one who seeks God.

Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns —

whether green or burning —

he will sweep them away.[fn]

Then everyone will fear

and will tell about God’s work,

for they will understand what he has done.

until I entered God’s sanctuary.

Then I understood their destiny.

They do not know or understand;

they wander in darkness.

All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

A stupid person does not know,

a fool does not understand this:

They say, “The LORD doesn’t see it.

The God of Jacob doesn’t pay attention.”

I will pay attention to the way of integrity.

When will you come to me?

I will live with a heart of integrity in my house.
