Bible verses about "moving" | LEB

¹ * Guard your steps when you go to the house of God; draw near to listen rather than to offer a sacrifice of fools, for they do not know that they are doing evil. ² Do not be rash with your mouth, and do not let your heart be quick to utter a word before God. For God is in heaven, and you are on earth; therefore, let your words be few. ³ For a dream comes with many cares, and the voice of a fool with many words. ⁴ When you make a vow to God, do not delay in fulfilling it, for _⌊he takes no pleasure_⌋* in fools. Fulfill what you vow! ⁵ It is better that you not vow than that you vow and not fulfill it. ⁶ Do not let your mouth lead your flesh into sin, and do not tell the messenger that it was a mistake. Why anger God at your words, so that he destroys the work of your hands? ⁷ For with many dreams come vanities and numerous words. Therefore, fear God! ⁸ Do not be surprised if you see the poor being oppressed with violence or do not see justice and righteousness in the province. For one official is watched by a higher official, and there are even higher officials over them! ⁹ The produce of the land is exploited by everyone; _⌊even the king profits from the field of the poor_⌋!* ¹⁰ Whoever loves money is not satisfied with money, and whoever loves wealth is not satisfied with profit. This also is vanity! ¹¹ When prosperity increases, those who consume it increase. _⌊So its owner gains nothing, except to see his wealth before it is spent_⌋.* ¹² The sleep of the laborer is pleasant, whether he eats little or much, but the wealth of the rich man does not allow him to rest. ¹³ There is a grievous evil which I have seen under the sun: wealth _⌊hoarded_⌋* by its owner to his harm. ¹⁴ That wealth was lost in a bad venture. Although he has borne a child, _⌊he has nothing to leave to him_⌋.* ¹⁵ Just as he came from his mother's womb naked, _⌊he will depart_⌋* just as he came; he will take nothing with him for his toil. ¹⁶ This also is a grievous illness. Exactly as he came, so he will go. What profit does he gain for all his toil for the wind? ¹⁷ Also, he eats in darkness all his days; he is frustrated in much sickness and resentment. ¹⁸ Look! I have discovered what is good and fitting: to eat and to drink and _⌊to enjoy_⌋* all the fruit of the toil with which one toils under the sun during the number of the days of his life that God gives to him—for this is his lot.* ¹⁹ This indeed is a gift of God: everyone to whom God gives wealth and possessions, he also empowers him _⌊to enjoy them_⌋,* to accept his lot, and to rejoice in the fruit of his toil. ²⁰ For he does not remember the brief days of his life, for God keeps his heart preoccupied with enjoyment of life.

¹ Of David.*
Do not fret because of evildoers; do not be envious of doers of wickedness. ² For like the grass they will dry up quickly, and like green vegetation they will wither. ³ Trust Yahweh and do good. Abide in the land and feed on faithfulness.* ⁴ Take pleasure in Yahweh as well, and he will give to you the requests of your heart. ⁵ _⌊Commit to_⌋* Yahweh your way; Trust also on him and he will act. ⁶ Then he will bring forth your righteousness like the light, and your justice like the noonday. ⁷ Be quiet before Yahweh and wait for him. Do not fret about one who succeeds in his way, about a man making plots. ⁸ Refrain from anger and forsake wrath. Do not fret; it only brings evil. ⁹ For evildoers will be cut off, but those who wait for Yahweh— they will possess the land. ¹⁰ And* yet a little while and the wicked will not be, and you will look carefully upon his place, but he will not be. ¹¹ But the afflicted will possess the land, and they will take pleasure in an abundance of peace. ¹² The wicked plans evil against the righteous, and gnashes at him with his teeth. ¹³ The Lord laughs at him, for he sees that his day is coming. ¹⁴ The wicked have drawn the sword and have bent their bow to throw down the poor and the needy, to kill those upright in their way. ¹⁵ Their sword will enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken. ¹⁶ The little belonging to the righteous is better than the wealth of many wicked. ¹⁷ For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but Yahweh supports the righteous. ¹⁸ Yahweh knows the days of the blameless, and their inheritance will be forever. ¹⁹ They will not be put to shame in distressing times,* and in the days of famine they will be satisfied. ²⁰ But the wicked will perish, and the enemies of Yahweh will be like the splendor of the pastures. They vanish; in smoke they vanish. ²¹ The wicked borrows and does not repay, but the righteous is gracious and gives. ²² For those blessed by him shall possess the land, but those cursed by him shall be cut off. ²³ The steps of a man are established by Yahweh, and he takes pleasure in his way. ²⁴ Though he fall, he will not be cast headlong, for Yahweh supports him with his hand. ²⁵ I was a youth, but I am now old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken or his children _⌊begging for_⌋* bread. ²⁶ All the day he is gracious and lends, and his children are a blessing. ²⁷ Turn aside from evil and do good and so abide forever. ²⁸ For Yahweh loves justice and will not forsake his faithful ones. They are protected forever. But the children of the wicked will be cut off. ²⁹ The righteous will possess the land and abide in it forever. ³⁰ The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks justice. ³¹ The law of his God is in his heart. His steps will not slip. ³² The wicked watches for the righteous and seeks to kill him. ³³ Yahweh will not abandon him into his hand, and he will not let him be condemned when he is judged. ³⁴ Wait for Yahweh and keep his way, and he will exalt you to possess the land. When the wicked are cut off, you will see it. ³⁵ I have seen the wicked acting violently and spreading himself out like a luxuriant native tree. ³⁶ Then he passed on* and behold, he was not. And I sought him, but he could not be found. ³⁷ Observe the blameless and look at the upright, for there is a future for a man of peace. ³⁸ But transgressors shall be destroyed altogether. The future of the wicked shall be cut off. ³⁹ And* the salvation of the righteous is from Yahweh, their refuge in the time of trouble. ⁴⁰ And Yahweh helps them and he rescues them. He rescues them from the wicked and saves them, because they take refuge in him.

³³ But seek first his kingdom and righteousness,* and all these things will be added to you.

²⁵ "For this reason I say to you, do not be anxious for your life, what you will eat,* and not for your body, what you will wear. Is your life not more than food and your body more than clothing? ²⁶ Consider the birds of the sky, that they do not sow or reap or gather produce into barns, and your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth more than they are? ²⁷ And who among you, by* being anxious, is able to add one hour* to his life span? ²⁸ And why are you anxious about clothing? Observe the lilies of the field, how they grow: they do not toil or spin, ²⁹ but I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory was dressed like one of these. ³⁰ But if God dresses the grass of the field in this way, although it* is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not do so much more for you, you of little faith? ³¹ Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What will we eat?' or 'What will we drink?' or 'What will we wear?,' ³² for the pagans seek after all these things. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. ³³ But seek first his kingdom and righteousness,* and all these things will be added to you. ³⁴ Therefore do not be anxious for tomorrow, because tomorrow will be anxious for itself. _⌊Each day has enough trouble of its own._⌋*
