Deeply hurt, Hannah prayed to the Lord and wept with many tears.
1 Samuel 1:10
For Yahweh is good, and His love is eternal; His faithfulness endures through all generations.
Psalm 100:5
Better a dry crust with peace than a house full of feasting with strife. A wise servant will rule over a disgraceful son and share an inheritance among brothers. A crucible for silver, and a smelter for gold, and the Lord is the tester of hearts. A wicked person listens to malicious talk; a liar pays attention to a destructive tongue. The one who mocks the poor insults his Maker, and one who rejoices over calamity will not go unpunished.
Proverbs 17:1-5
Grandchildren are the crown of the elderly, and the pride of sons is their fathers. Eloquent words are not appropriate on a fool’s lips; how much worse are lies for a ruler. A bribe seems like a magic stone to its owner; wherever he turns, he succeeds. Whoever conceals an offense promotes love, but whoever gossips about it separates friends. A rebuke cuts into a perceptive person more than a hundred lashes into a fool.
Proverbs 17:6-10
An evil man seeks only rebellion; a cruel messenger will be sent against him. Better for a man to meet a bear robbed of her cubs than a fool in his foolishness. If anyone returns evil for good, evil will never depart from his house. To start a conflict is to release a flood; stop the dispute before it breaks out. Acquitting the guilty and condemning the just — both are detestable to the Lord.
Proverbs 17:11-15
Why does a fool have money in his hand with no intention of buying wisdom? A friend loves at all times,
and a brother is born for a difficult time. One without sense enters an agreement and puts up security for his friend. One who loves to offend loves strife; one who builds a high threshold invites injury. One with a twisted mind will not succeed, and one with deceitful speech will fall into ruin.
Proverbs 17:16-20
The law, then, was our guardian until Christ, so that we could be justified by faith.
Galatians 3:24
