He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness is a tree of life: and he that winneth souls is wise. For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it. I will not let mercy and truth forsake me: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the tables of thine heart.
So shalt thou find favor and good understanding in the sight of God and man. Thus saith the Lord, let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches.
But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the Lord which exercise lovingkindness, judgment and righteousness in the earth for in these things I delight, saith the Lord.
Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O' Lord; thou art great, and thy name is great in might. Therefore, turn thou to thy God: keep mercy and judgment, and wait on thy God continually. For we through the spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
