So Hazael said, "But what [is] your servant -- a dog, that he should do this gross thing?" And Elisha answered, "The LORD has shown me that you [will become] king over Syria."

" The heart [is] deceitful above all [things,] And desperately wicked; Who can know it?

"For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,

"All these evil things come from within and defile a man."

Then Jesus said to them, "All of you will be made to stumble because of Me this night, for it is written: 'I will strike the Shepherd, And the sheep will be scattered.'

Peter said to Him, "Even if all are made to stumble, yet I [will] not [be."]

But he spoke more vehemently, "If I have to die with You, I will not deny You!" And they all said likewise.

Because the carnal mind [is] enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.

And to man He said, 'Behold, the fear of the Lord, that [is] wisdom, And to depart from evil [is] understanding.' "

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

Who [is] wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct [that] his works [are done] in the meekness of wisdom.

This wisdom does not descend from above, but [is] earthly, sensual, demonic.

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.
