A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold is as pictures of silver.(Prov.25:11) It is so important to speak the right words to people at the right time to produce the right results. When you think of apples of gold in pictures of silver, then you are thinking of wealth and excellence. When we speak wisdom into the lives of others we are making them wealthy. Therefore we must seek God for He is the source of all wisdom and He will give us just the right words needed at the right time.

#If he takes him another wife, her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish? Exodus 21:10 Let every man have his own wife.
The Hebrew word for marriage is Ownah, meaning sexual cohabitation or to dwell together. And if a man sells his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do. If she pleases not her master, who hath betrothed her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed: to sell her unto a strange nation he shall have no power, seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with her. And if he has betrothed her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters. And if he does not hese three unto her, then shall she go out free without money. He that smitteth a man so that he die, shall be surely put to death. And if a man lie not in wait, but God delivers him into his hand; then I will appoint thee a place whither he shall flee.
Let every man have his own wife. The Old Testament allowed for slavery and selling one's daughter as a maidservant. But in the New Testament, this is not to be practiced, as every man is to have his own wife, and every woman her own husband. They are to cohabit together and render due benevolence to one another. Polygamy was practiced in the Old Testament because God winked at it, but He is not winking anymore and commands that all men repent. The husband is to provide a home for his wife, and they are to cohabitate. Dowry is not practiced in the Western world, but in other parts of the world, it remains a prevalent practice. Brothers are not allowed to marry their sisters. This would be incest, which is forbidden. Capital punishment is to be practiced toward anyone who kills a man, but if God delivers him into his hand, then He will appoint thee a place whither he shall flee. This is why Moses had to flee to the back side of the Midian desert to tend to his father-in-law's sheep for forty years for killing the Egyptian.
#Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence, and likewise also the wife unto the husband. 1 Corinthians 7:3
The Greek word for benevolence is Eunoia, meaning kindness and goodwill. Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife. Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency. But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.
Marriage is honorable in all and the bed undefiled, but fornicators and adulterers God will judge. Paul wrote this passage due to the immorality that was going on in Chapter 6 and warned that the body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and not to defile the temple with fornication. Thus, he writes it is good for a man not to touch a woman. This touch is fornication, and to avoid it, every man has to have his own wife, and every woman is to have her own husband. Paul is speaking under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and even though he says, 'I speak by permission and not by commandment,' he is speaking the will of God. Why do so many couples have so much trouble in this area of marriage? It is because they defraud one another without consent for a time and do not submit themselves to prayer and fasting. This should be done for a season, and then come together so the devil cannot tempt you for your incontinency. It is my prayer that if you are married that you share these scriptures with your spouse so they will have a good understanding of what their responsibility in the marriage is. If there are medical reasons why they cannot render due benevolence, then they should seek help from a psychologist about these issues.
#If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him? Luke 11:13 Every good and perfect gift comes from above
The Greek word for gifts is Doma, meaning a present. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? Or if he shall ask for an egg, will he give him a scorpion? And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered. But some of them said He casteth out devils through Beelzebub, the chief of the devils. And others tempting Him, sought from Him a sign from heaven.
Every good and perfect gift comes from above, from the Father of lights with whom there is no variable of shadow or turning. Thank God Jesus is telling us how much He loves us as His children, and how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him? What profound reasons the Lord Jesus gives us, and it only solidifies how much our Heavenly Father loves us with an everlasting love. The term us being evil is metaphorical in comparing our love to that of our Heavenly Father. Then some tried to say that Jesus was casting out devils by the power of Beelzebub, the chief of devils. And others were tempting Him, seeking a sign from heaven. Jesus said the Jews look for a sign, and the Greeks' wisdom, but there shall be no sign save the sign of Jonah, and He was speaking of Himself being raised from the dead.
#And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory, and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name, Isaiah 62:2 O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth
The Hebrew name for glory is Kabowd, meaning in a good sense, splendor or copiousness and honor. For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth. Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God. Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed desolate; but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married. For as a young man married to a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee, and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.
O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth. For the whole world is full of thy glory, and splendor, and honor. We praise thee, O God, and thank thee for sending thy Son into this world to save us, and to die upon the cross for our sins. How majestic is thy name in all the land. Thank you for marrying us to thy Son, and we shall celebrate the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in heaven. We shall make ourselves ready in the wedding garments thou hast provided us in the blood of the Lamb. Rejoice and thy land Beulah, for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married. O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth.
#Her princes within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the morrow. Zephaniah 3:3
The Hebrew word for roaring is Shaag, meaning to rumble or moan. Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city! She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the LORD; she drew not near to her God. Her prophets are light and treacherous persons: her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law. The just LORD is in the midst thereof; He will not do iniquity: every morning doth He bring His judgment to light, He faileth not; but the unjust knoweth no shame. I have cut off the nations: their towers are desolate; I made their streets waste, that none passeth by: their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, that there is none inhabitant.
God is in the midst thereof; He brings His judgment to light. Thank God the Epstein files are being released, and now all the victims can receive their day in court. It is time that the Lord will now bring His judgment to light in this matter. I pray for all those who were harmed by his pattern of mistrust. Indeed, God will hold the rich and powerful accountable for their crimes of passion. Jesus warned that a rock should be tied around your neck and thrown into the ocean, rather than to harm one of these little ones who believes in Me. Bless the little children and suffer them to come unto Me, for of such is the kingdom of God. Let us pray for closure to these dark files, and may justice come to light. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
#Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. James 5:8 Be ye also ready, for when you think not the Lord will come.
The Greek word for stablish is Sterizo, meaning to set fast and turn resolutely in a certain direction. Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in the day of slaughter. Ye have killed the just; and he doth not resist you. Be patient, therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receives the early and latter rain. Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold the judge standeth before the door. Take my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience. Behold, we count them happy who endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
Be ye also ready, for when you think not, the Lord will come. James is warning the rich to weep and howl, for their miseries are coming upon them because of their fraud. God will vindicate the poor and the disabled. They will be crying peace and safety, then will come sudden destruction. The Lord will roar out of Zion. All those who live godly will suffer persecution, so stand still and see the salvation of the Lord. We see how the Lord restored Job, who lost all his wealth, and children, and his wife told him to curse God and die. But God gave him twice as much as he lost when he prayed the intercessory prayer for his three friends. Jesus is coming quickly, and His reward is with Him. So be patient until the coming of the Lord for at the last trump, the Lord will descend from heaven with a shout, and the voice of an arc angel, the dead in Christ shall be raised first, and all those who remain will be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, then we shall be caught up in the clouds to forever be with the Lord. So comfort one another with these words.
#Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. Romans 12:15 Weeping may be for the night, but joy comes in the morning
The Greek word for rejoice is Chairo, meaning to be cheerful, i.e., calmly happy or well off. Paul is exhorting the saints to rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say rejoice. Rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing instant in prayer. Distributing to the necessity of saints, given to hospitality. Bless them which persecute you, bless and curse not. Be of the same mind one towards another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
Weeping may be for the night, but joy comes in the morning. The joy of the Lord is our strength, so when we rejoice with those who rejoice, we are strengthened in the Lord. Then we must weep with them that weep to show that we love them in the Lord, and the God of all comfort will console them in the night with songs in the heart, and joy in the morning. So be patient in tribulation, cause it works patience in us and be continuing instant in prayer. We must pray without ceasing. Peter prayed Lord, save me, and the Lord reached into the waters and delivered Peter from drowning. Now we must distribute to the needs of the saints. Let those that be rich in this world be free to give without charging interest, and the Lord will reward you. Next, we must be given to hospitality by opening our home for bible study and prayer meetings. Then when you are persecuted for righteousness' sake, rejoice in the Lord, for great is your reward in heaven, for so persecuted they the prophets; therefore bless those who persecute you, and curse them not.. Next, have the same mind towards one another and do all things without murmuring. Do not mind high things or be conceited, and come to the level of men of low estate, and low bank accounts. Then be not wise in thine own eyes, but fear the Lord and depart from evil. Finally, do not pay back evil for evil; instead, pray for those who spitefully use you and call you everything but a child of God. Then live at peace with all men when it is humanly possible. We have been commanded to be at peace with all men and walk in holiness, cause without holiness no man will see the Lord.
#He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness and speaketh the truth in his heart. Psalms 15:2 Who shall abide in His tabernacle?
The Hebrew word for righteousness is Tsedeq, meaning the right, the natural, the moral, or the legal. (A Psalm of David) LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? Who shall dwell in thy holy hill? He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbor, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbor. In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not. He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.
Who shall abide in His tabernacle? David is a man after God's heart, and he asks two of the most profound questions. Then he answers them with the most profound answers. To backbite not with his tongue, meaning you speak the truth to your neighbor. Second, you do no evil to your neighbor, nor take up a reproach against your neighbor. Then you see good and not evil, and a vile person is contemned. Thirdly, honor all those who fear Jehovah God. Then be willing to go to court, and put your hand on a Bible and swear to your own hurt, and do not change it. Then, lend money without charging excessive interest. Finally, it takes no reward against an innocent person. When you do these things, you will never be moved, and the Lord will take you to His tabernacle, and His holy hill to dwell. Oh, that I may see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. We can only do these things by the power of the Holy Spirit indwelling us.
#How has the faithful city become a harlot! It was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it, but now murderers. Isaiah 1:21 Woe to the Harlot
The Hebrew word for murderers is Ratsach, meaning to dash in pieces, i.e., kill a human being. Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: but if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken, Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water: Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them. Therefore saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge Me of mine enemies:
Woe to the harlot, Israel has forsaken the Lord, the fountain of living waters, for cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water. They kill the innocent, and dash them in pieces. Come now, and let us reason together, saith Jehovah God. It is time to repent and turn to the fountain of living waters. Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow, though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. Consider your ways, and turn to the living God. For it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. If ye shall be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land, but if ye refuse, and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword. God is going to shake the heavens and the earth, so repent and turn to the Lord. It is my prayer that you will take heed and number your days, and repent of the evil in your hands. Do good to the fatherless, and the widows, and walk in righteousness, before the day of the Lord comes and devours the earth. Put away the murders from your hands, and do what is right in the sight of the Lord. Let your businesses hire the poor and the needy, and pay a living wage. For thus saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of Israel. For He will judge His adversaries, and avenge the blood on mine enemies.
#But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night; Job 35:10 God gives songs in the night
The Hebrew word for songs is Zamiryr, a song to be accompanied by instrumental music. If thou be righteous, what givest thou Him? Or what receiveth he of thine hand? Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness may profit the son of man. By reason of the multitude of oppressions, they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty. Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven? There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men. Surely God will not hear vanity, nor will the Almighty regard it.
God gives songs in the night. Praise God that when we are sad, He gives songs in the night. When we have lost a loved one, He gives songs in the night. It is a sign of righteousness to play a song accompanied by an instrument of music. I received from the Lord the gift to play the piano by ear, and God gives me songs in the night. God tells me what to play on the piano to comfort my soul, and what a blessing this is to comfort my heart. Listen to God, for He gives songs in the night. When the multitude of oppressions oppresses your heart, I will praise thee, O God, for thou alone can make me happy. Sing unto the Lord as Job has learned to do, because God gives songs in the night. God gives beasts of the earth and makes us wiser than the fowls of heaven, to provide us with songs in the night. I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever, cause God gives songs in the night. What is man, thou made him lower than the angels, yet God gives songs in the night. The pride of evil men God will not hear, nor vanity will the Almighty regard it. So sing alone with God, for He gives songs in the night.
