029 They clave to their brethren, their nobles, and entered into a curse, and into an oath, to walk in God's law, which was given by Moses the servant of God, and to observe and do all the commandments of the LORD our Lord, and his judgments and his statutes;
030 And that we would not give our daughters unto the people of the land, not take their daughters for our sons:
031 And if the people of the land bring ware or any victuals on the sabbath day to sell, that we would not buy it of them on the sabbath, or on the holy day: and that we would leave the seventh year, and the exaction of every debt.
032 Also we made ordinances for us, to charge ourselves yearly with the third part of a shekel for the service of the house of our God;
033 For the shewbread, and for the continual meat offering, and for the continual burnt offering, of the sabbaths, of the new moons, for the set feasts, and for the holy things, and for the sin offerings to make an atonement for Israel, and for all the work of the house of our God.
034 And we cast the lots among the priests, the Levites, and the people, for the wood offering, to bring it into the house of our God, after the houses of our fathers, at times appointed year by year, to burn upon the altar of the LORD our God, as it is written in the law:
035 And to bring the firstfruits of our ground, and the firstfruits of all fruit of all trees, year by year, unto the house of the LORD:
036 Also the firstborn of our sons, and of our cattle, as it is written in the law, and the firstlings of our herds and of our flocks, to bring to the house of our God, unto the priests that minister in the house of our God:
037 And that we should bring the firstfruits of our dough, and our offerings, and the fruit of all manner of trees, of wine and of oil, unto the priests, to the chambers of the house of our God; and the tithes of our ground unto the Levites, that the same Levites might have the tithes in all the cities of our tillage.
038 And the priest the son of Aaron shall be with the Levites, when the Levites take tithes: and the Levites shall bring up the tithe of the tithes unto the house of our God, to the chambers, into the treasure house.
039 For the children of Israel and the children of Levi shall bring the offering of the corn, of the new wine, and the oil, unto the chambers, where are the vessels of the sanctuary, and the priests that minister, and the porters, and the singers: and we will not forsake the house of our God.

Proverbs
Chapter: 009
001 Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:
002 She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table.
003 She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city,
004 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
005 Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.
006 Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.
007 He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.
008 Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
009 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
010 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
011 For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.
012 If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.
013 A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.
014 For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,
015 To call passengers who go right on their ways:
016 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
017 Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.
018 But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.
