Remember Your Creator

1 Remember now thy Bo're (Creator) in the yamim of thy bechurot, while the yamei hara'ah come not, nor the shanim draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no chefetz (pleasure) in them; 2 While the shemesh, or the ohr, or the yarei'ach, or the kokhavim, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain; 3 In the yom when the shomrei habayit shall tremble, and the strong men shall stoop, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows grow dim, 4 And the delatayim (doors) shall be shut in the street, when the sound of the grinding fades, and he shall arise at the sound of a tzipor (bird), and all their banot hashir (daughters of song) are brought low; 5 Also when they shall be afraid of height, and fears shall be in the derech, and the almond tree shall blossom, and the grasshopper drags himself along, and desire shall fail; because haAdam goeth to his bais olam (eternal home), and the mourners go about the streets; 6 Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the bor (cistern). 7 Then shall the aphar return to ha'aretz as it was; and the ruach shall return unto HaElohim who gave it. 8 Hevel havalim, saith Kohelet; all is hevel.

9 And moreover, because Kohelet was chacham, he taught the people da'as; yea, he applied, and searched out, and set in order many meshalim (proverbs). 10 Kohelet searched to find out divrei chefetz; and that which was written was yosher, even divrei emes.

11 Divrei chachamim are like goads, and like nails firmly fixed are the collected sayings that are given by Ro'eh Echad (One Shepherd). 12 And further, by these, beni, be admonished; of making many sefarim there is no ketz; and much study is a weariness of the basar.

13 Let us hear the sof (conclusion) of the whole matter; Fear HaElohim, and of His commandments be shomer mitzvot; for this is the whole duty of haAdam. 14 For HaElohim shall bring kol ma'aseh (every work) into mishpat (judgment), with every ne’lam (secret thing, concealed thing), whether it be tov (good), or whether it be rah (evil). — Ecclesiastes 12 | Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB) Orthodox Jewish Bible Copyright © 2002, 2003, 2008, 2010, 2011 by Artists for Israel International.

The Morning Devotional: WCF 32.1-2

The Morning Devotional for October 12, 2023 The Westminster Confession of Faith 32.1-2 I. The bodies of men, after death, return to dust, and see corruption;a but their souls (which neither die nor sleep), having an immortal subsistence,b immediately return to God who gave them. The souls of the righteous, being then made perfect in holiness, are received into the highest heavens, where they…

VAPOUR? | THE END OF IT (ECC. 11:1-12:14)

VAPOUR? | THE END OF IT (Ecc. 11 &12) In light of the tensions we face, the unanswered questions, the pain and joy, the disorientation we feel on a daily basis, the response the Narrator gives is, ‘keep having a faith that worships and a faith that walks'

Here’s my longer sermon notes from this morning’s Metro Christian Centre service (dated 23rd April 2023), concluding our series VAPOUR?. This series explores our search for meaning, journeying through the enigmatic book of Ecclesiastes. You can also catch up with this via MCC’s YouTube channel (just give us time to get the video uploaded). ‘My dear partner; When what’s left of you gets around…

The Last Word On the Matter

The Last Word On the Matter

9 Besides being wise, the Preacher also taught the people knowledge, weighing and studying and arranging many proverbs with great care. 10 The Preacher sought to find words of delight, and uprightly he wrote words of truth. 11 The words of the wise are like goads, and like nails firmly fixed are the collected sayings; they are given by one Shepherd. 12 My son, beware of anything beyond these. Of…

The lamp of God

The lamp of God

Being created in God’s image, it makes sense that his stamp is embossed within us. Proverbs 20:27 – The spirit of man is Yahweh’s lamp, searching all his innermost parts. Different English renderings of this verse appear to be unsure of how exactly to render this unusual phrase. New International Version: The human spirit is the lamp of the LORD that sheds light on one’s inmost being.New…

13 The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. 14 For God will bring every deed into judgment, with every secret thing, whether good or evil.

Gathering of Books

Erudition was my employ,

Reviving what was once contrived,

Illuminating disarray,

Scholared words where minds derived.

.

An eternal thirst broke my desire,

Set my soul and heart on fire,

And a hunger for the soul's release,

Unguarded my will to tire.

.

As a phantom of the obsolete,

I feasted like a famished beast,

As a lance through the obelisk,

The greatest became my least.

.

A gratuitous vat, now deposed of will,

Awoken to stagnation, whole,

Reviling what had been revealed,

That my wisdom now condemned my soul.

.

To gather every kind of fate,

Required my fatality,

Where wisdom wished in confidence,

Untruth became reality.

"THERE'S DANGER IN TWISTING SCRIPTURE!"

Deuteronomy 4:2, “Now listen, Israel, listen carefully to the rules and regulations that I am teaching you to follow so that you may live and enter and take possession of the land that God, the God-of-Your-Fathers, is giving to you. DON’T ADD A WORD TO WHAT I COMMAND YOU, AND DON’T REMOVE A WORD FROM IT. Keep the commands of God, your God, that I am commanding you.” (MSG) Ecclesiastes 3:14-15,…

Wisdom is a shelter as money is a shelter, but the advantage of knowledge is this: Wisdom preserves those who have it.

Oh one of my other favourite bible references so far is Dulcie’s “Goodbye, Palamedes, my first strand--goodbye Camilla, my second...one cord was overpowered, two cords could defend themselves, but three were not broken by the living or the dead,” a riff on (or like tbh almost word for word quote of) Ecclesiastes 4:12 “Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken,” (which is one of my favourite bible verses bc i’m a sucker for friendship or whatever). This bit also hit for me because it emphasizes that Dulcinea didnt only have her whole thing with Palamedes but also valued Camilla highly--the three of them were all so close, so its really sad how it all turned out.

#NO NONA SPOILERS PLZ #this whole little segment from ecclesiastes 4: 9-12 is my favourite tbh #its just! good!! #friends and shit!! #anyway when i read this the first time i was like oh memorizing obscure bible verses as a child did come in handy in this one specific way #my payment for the 20-odd years i spent learning this shit is additional context to the lesbian necromancer books #which maybe doesnt COMPENSATE for it but is a fun side effect to have anyway #harrow the ninth #the locked tomb #the locked tomb trilogy

9 Bahwa orang dua baik dari pada seorang orang, karena sedaplah bagi mereka itu hasil pekerjaannya. 10 Maka jikalau jatuh, seorang dapat membangkitkan seorangnya; tetapi wai bagi dia yang seorang orang sahaja apabila ia jatuh, karena tiada jodohnya akan membangkitkan dia pula. 11 Demikianpun jikalau dua orang berbaring bersama-sama, maka tubuh keduanya bersuhu adanya, tetapi ia yang seorang orang bagaimana gerangan diberinya bersuhu tubuhnya. 12 Maka jikalau kiranya seorang orang dapat dialahkan, dua orang akan berdiri tetap juga dan tali yang tiga lembar itu tak suang-suang putus.

9 Two are better off than one, because together they can work more effectively. 10 If one of them falls down, the other can help him up. But if someone is alone and falls, it's just too bad, because there is no one to help him. 11 If it is cold, two can sleep together and stay warm, but how can you keep warm by yourself? 12 Two people can resist an attack that would defeat one person alone. A rope made of three cords is hard to break. — Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 | Indonesian Terjemahan Lama (IndLama) and Good News Translation (GNT) The Indonesian Terjemahan Lama Bible translation was converted automatically from data files made available by the Unbound Bible Project and Good News Translation® (Today’s English Version, Second Edition) © 1992 American Bible Society.

Early goddesses, in many forms, were in fact prototypes of Wisdom... This means the ability to create life. The associated quality is identification with heaven, earth, or even the underworld. Because what is produced in the earth returns again to the earth, she becomes queen of the underworld, and of the dead, and because she is queen of life and light, she is also queen of heaven.

Growing Old Is Not For the Young

Growing Old Is Not For the Young

1 Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come and the years draw near of which you will say, “I have no pleasure in them”; 2 before the sun and the light and the moon and the stars are darkened and the clouds return after the rain, 3 in the day when the keepers of the house tremble, and the strong men are bent, and the grinders cease because they are few, and…

Engaged with God in a faith that changes lives

Engaged with God in a faith that changes lives

Today we will be looking at the topic of trust in God, and how remaining in and applying God’s wisdom continues to increase our faith or trust in God. As our faith increases, we then share the truths of his wisdom with others, and the Kingdom of God expands. True wisdom creates an active trust in God. Proverbs 22:17-19 – “Turn your ear, and listen to the words of the wise. Apply your heart to my…
