Judges 3:1-7

3 Now these are the nations which the Lordleft, to prove Israel by them, even as many of Israel as had not known all the wars of Canaan;

2 Only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing thereof;

3 Namely, five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baalhermon unto the entering in of Hamath.

4 And they were to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of the Lord, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.

5 And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and Jebusites:

6 And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods.

7 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and forgat the Lord their God, and served Baalim and the groves.

Psalms 1:1-6

The Way of the Righteous and the Wicked

1 Blessed is the man1

who awalks not in bthe counsel of the wicked,

nor stands in cthe way of sinners,

nor dsits in ethe seat of fscoffers;

2  but his gdelight is in the law2 of the Lord,

and on his hlaw he meditates day and night.

3  He is like ia tree

planted by jstreams of water

that yields its fruit in its season,

and its kleaf does not wither.

lIn all that he does, he prospers.

4  The wicked are not so,

but are like mchaff that the wind drives away.

5  Therefore the wicked nwill not stand in the judgment,

nor sinners in othe congregation of the righteous;

6  for the Lord pknows qthe way of the righteous,

but the way of the wicked will perish

Wisdom 4:1-7

1 Certainly, I myself am also a mortal man, like everyone, and the offspring of this earth, which was made beforehand; and in my mothers womb I was fashioned with care,

2 within the time of ten months, made of blood, from the seed of man and the delight of sleeping together.

3 And when I was born, I drew in the common air, and in similar fashion, I fell upon the earth, and the first voice I uttered, like everyone, was crying.

4 I was nursed in swaddling clothes and with great care.

5 For none of the kings had any other beginning of birth.

6 Therefore, there is only one entrance for everyone into life, and the same in leaving.

7 Because of this, I chose, and understanding was given to me; and I prayed, and the spirit of wisdom came to me;
