5 In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night, and God said, Ask what [you wish that] I shall give thee.
6 And Solomon said, Thou hast shown unto thy servant David, my father, great mercy, according to the way he walked before thee in truth and in righteousness and in uprightness of heart with thee; and thou hast kept for him this great mercy that thou hast given him a son to sit on his throne, as [it is] this day.
7 And now, O LORD my God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David my father; and I am but a tender young man; I do not know [how] to go out or come in.
8 And thy servant [is] in the midst of thy people whom thou hast chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude.
9 Give, therefore, thy servant a hearing heart to judge thy people that I may discern between good and evil, for who is able to govern this thy so great a people?
10 And the speech pleased the Lord that Solomon had asked this thing.

31 Whether therefore ye eat or drink or whatever ye do, do everything for the glory of God.
5 And if any of you lacks wisdom, let them ask of God (who gives abundantly to all, and without reproach), and it shall be given them.
5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
16 All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,
1 Now there were in the church that was at Antioch prophets and teachers: Barnabas and Simeon that was called Niger and Lucius of Cyrene and Manaen, who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
2 As they ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work unto which I have called them.
3 And when they had fasted and prayed and laid [their] hands on them, they released [them].
33 The lot is cast into the lap, but the judgment thereof [is] of the LORD.:
14 And this is the confidence that we have in God, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he hears us:
17 that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.:
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

3 When the wicked comes, then comes also contempt, and with him who dishonours, reproach.
4 The words of a man's mouth [are as] deep waters, [and] the wellspring of wisdom [as] a flowing brook.
5 To respect the person of the wicked so that the righteous loses that which is rightfully his is not good.

7 A fool's mouth [is] his destruction, and his lips [are] the snare of his soul.
8 The words of a talebearer seem smooth, but they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
9 He also that is negligent in his work is brother to him that is the great spendthrift.

12 Before being broken, the heart of man is haughty, and before coming into honour, [comes] being brought to humility.
13 [For] him that answers a word before he hears, it [is] folly and reproach unto him.
14 The spirit of man will bear his infirmity, but a broken spirit who can bear?
9 Then his wife said unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? Blaspheme God and die.
