11 and these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, they received the word with all readiness of mind, every day examining the Writings whether those things were so;
6 and these words which I am commanding thee to-day have been on thine heart,
7 and thou hast repeated them to thy sons, and spoken of them in thy sitting in thine house, and in thy walking in the way, and in thy lying down, and in thy rising up,
8 and hast bound them for a sign upon thy hand, and they have been for frontlets between thine eyes,
8 the book of this law doth not depart out of thy mouth, and thou hast meditated in it by day and by night, so that thou dost observe to do according to all that is written in it, for then thou dost cause thy way to prosper, and then thou dost act wisely.
4 for, as many things as were written before, for our instruction were written before, that through the endurance, and the exhortation of the Writings, we might have the hope.
130 The opening of Thy words enlighteneth, Instructing the simple.
3 Happy is he who is reading, and those hearing, the words of the prophecy, and keeping the things written in it -- for the time is nigh!

16 every Writing [is] God-breathed, and profitable for teaching, for conviction, for setting aright, for instruction that [is] in righteousness,

39 Ye search the Writings, because ye think in them to have life age-during, and these are they that are testifying concerning me;
8 and they read in the book, in the law of God, explaining -- so as to give the meaning, and they give understanding to the convocation.
13 till I come, give heed to the reading, to the exhortation, to the teaching;
97 [Mem.] O how I have loved Thy law! All the day it [is] my meditation.
98 Than mine enemies Thy command maketh me wiser, For it [is] before me to the age.
99 Above all my teachers I have acted wisely. For Thy testimonies [are] my meditation.
9 [Beth.] With what doth a young man purify his path? To observe -- according to Thy word.
10 With all my heart I have sought Thee, Let me not err from Thy commands.
11 In my heart I have hid Thy saying, That I sin not before Thee.
1 My son, if thou dost accept my sayings, And my commands dost lay up with thee,
2 To cause thine ear to attend to wisdom, Thou inclinest thy heart to understanding,
3 For, if for intelligence thou callest, For understanding givest forth thy voice,
4 If thou dost seek her as silver, And as hid treasures searchest for her,
5 Then understandest thou fear of Jehovah, And knowledge of God thou findest.
6 For Jehovah giveth wisdom, From His mouth knowledge and understanding.
105 [Nun.] A lamp to my foot [is] Thy word, And a light to my path.
24 And Jesus answering said to them, Do ye not because of this go astray, not knowing the Writings, nor the power of God?
