5 Scriptures on Purpose 5

“If one attempts a word with you, will you become weary?
But who can withhold himself from speaking?
Surely you have instructed many,
And you have strengthened weak hands.
Your words have upheld him who was stumbling,
And you have strengthened the ^[a]feeble knees;
But now it comes upon you, and you are weary;
It touches you, and you are troubled.
 Is not your reverence your confidence?
And the integrity of your ways your hope?

“Remember now, who ever perished being innocent?
Or where were the upright ever cut off?
Even as I have seen,
Those who plow iniquity
And sow trouble reap the same.
 By the blast of God they perish,
And by the breath of His anger they are consumed.
