28)The heart of the
righteous studieth to
answer; but the mouth of
the wicked poureth out evil
things
29)The LORD is far from the
wicked; but he heareth the
prayer of the righteous
|
THE HEART OF THE
RIGHTEOUS STUDY TO
ANSWER The righteous think
s,
ponders the thoughts in
wise and appropriate
ways and words, before
they speak, they
carefully considers their
words, they are lead to
speak what is pleasing
to the LORD, lest he
should say anything
false or injurious
foolish, unprofitable
and hurtful speeches
THE WICKED POURS
OUT EVILS
The wicked speaks
rudely and carelessly ,
their words arise from
evil heart and rush out
of their mouths his
heart brings out evil
things
THE LORD IS FAR FROM
THEWICKED
They set him at
defiance, and therefore
he sets Himself at a
distance from them, we
know that GOD heareth
not sinners; but if any
man be a worshiper of
GOD, and do His will,
him he hears JOHN 9:31
GOD is not obligated to
answer the prayers of
the wicked because
they do not have a
relationship with Him,
they have cut Him out
of their lives, so they
are not His children
their sinful lifestyle bars
them access to the
throne of mercy
BUT HE HEARS THE
PRAYER OF THE
RIGHTIOUES
GOD respond to the
prayers of the
righteous, with full
revelation of GOD’s
word, He draws near to
those in a way of mercy,
who draw near to Him
in a way of duty; He
hears and accept their
prayers, He is nigh to all
that call upon Him in
truth and will grant an
answer of peace

8)Better is a little with
righteousness, than great
revenues without right
|
BETTER IS A LITTLE
WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS
Seek righteousness, it is
better to be poor and
righteous than rich and
dishonest, a small
estate honestly gotten
and usefully employed,
gotten in a righteous
way, held by a righteous
claim, used in a
righteous manner,
attended with a life of
righteousness and
holiness ; and also along
with an interest in the
righteousness of
CHRIST, which is
acceptable to GOD, if
GOD’S plan is for a
person to have a little of
this world,s wealth and
possessions, he or she
should accept GOD,S
will and continue to live
righteously , we should
do the best we can for
what GOD has provided
for us, we should not
act criminally or
dishonestly to try to
acquire more of the
world riches, living
righteously with little is
much better than
having an abundance of
world wealth gained
through crime and
dishonesty
THAN GREAT REVENUE
WITHOUT RIGHT
Than great revenues
which is obtained in an
unjust way, and used in
an unrighteous manner,
in a course of sin and
wickedness ,likewise,
advancing self, gaining
profits, or acquiring
possession dishonestly
is sin

5)It is not good to accept
the person of the wicked, to
overthrow the righteous in
judgment
|
IT IS NOT GOOD TO
ACCEPT THE PERSON OF
THE WICKED
It is not good to accept
the person of the
wicked, to accept the
person is to show
partiality, not be the
fact of the case, for a
judge to have respect to
a wicked man in a cause
before him, and to favor
him, because he is rich
man, or a relation, or he
has received some
kindness or bribe from
him,; none of these
thing should have any
influence upon him, to
overthrow the righteous
in judgment; though he
may be a poor man and
a stranger, and to
whom the judge is
under no privilege.
Justice ought to be
done without any
respect to persons, to
do otherwise is not is
bad, wicked, sinful and
criminal; it is contrary to
the commandment of
GOD on justice, it is
doing injury to men and
it is offensive and
distasteful to the will of
GOD

PROVERBS 18:10

10)The name of the LORD is
a strong tower: the
righteous runneth into it,
and is safe

THE NAME OF THE
LORD IS A STRONG
TOWER
The name of the LORD
signifies all GOD is in
Himself, one of the
ways GOD has revealed
Himself is through His
name: fortress, shelter,
refuge, shield, rock,
stronghold, deliverer,
savior, place of rest, as
he hath revealed
himself in his word by
His promises, and the
declaration of his
infinite perfection and
His will to His people
IS A STRONG TOWER,:
is sufficient for our
protection in case of
great danger ,the name
signifies the titles by
which He has made
Himself known,
descriptive of His
attributes, as merciful,
power, knowledge
gracious, abundant in
goodness and truth,
longsuffering , his
loving, compassionate,
kind, the righteous
takes refuge in these,
and find himself saved,
secured, lifted above
the troubles
THE RIGHTEOUS
The righteous runneth
into it, not self
righteousness person,
they run from CHRIST
and His righteousness
and these are righteous
through the
righteousness of CHRIST
imputed to them, and
live soberly, righteously
and godly, and it is the
continual employment
of their faith, coming to
CHRIST, exercise faith
upon Him, as the LORD
of their righteousness ,
which is to run to Him
as the strong tower in
the city of refuge, which
is principle of spiritual
life efficacious grace

26) He coveteth greedily all
the day long; but the
righteous giveth and
spareth not
|
HE COVETH GREEDILY
THE DAY LONG
He covets greedily all
day long; that he may
consume it on his lusts,
the wish of the slothful
man passes into
restless, covetous,
dissatisfied desire , he is
always craving
BUT THE RIGHTEOUS
GIVETH AND SPARE NOT
The righteous gives and
does not hold back from
doing good, he gives
without grudging, the
benevolence of the
righteous, by GOD
blessing upon the work
of his hand he procure
enough, not only for his
own support, but also
for the liberal relief of
others, a good man will
work with his hands,
that he may have to
give to others in want,
and spares not, or
withholding his hand

15) Lay not wait, o wicked
man, against the dwelling of
righteousness; spoil not his
resting place
16)For a just man falleth
seven times, and riseth up
again; but the wicked shall
fall into mischief
|
LAY NOT WAIT, O
WICKED AGAINST THE
DWELLING OF THE
RIGHTEOUS
Lay not wait, o wicked
man, against the
dwelling of the
righteous, against his
person, or family or
possession, do him no
injury, either by subtle
and secret devices by
manifesting violence ,
do not attack the
righteous , neither him
nor his house, a thief is
watching the righteous ,
GOD is clear no one
should is to mistreat
His people
RIGHTEOUS MAN FALLS
SEVEN TIMES AND RISE
For a righteous man fall
seven times and rise up
again, the wicked will
be able to totally
destroy GOD’S people
because He diligently
watches over them, He
is their protector and
avenger, the wicked will
actually attack a
righteous man
repeatedly seven times,
but GOD will see to it
that the righteous man
recovers, if a wicked
person slays a
righteous, the righteous
one will prevail, the
righteous live eternally,
even their decayed
bodies will rise again.
The wicked will be
brought down as a
result of their action
their evil, GOD’S divine
judgment will fall upon
them for their crimes
against the righteous, as
righteous follows of the
LORD have nothing to
fear, GOD will cause us
to triumph over those
who wrong us
But the wicked shall fall
into mischief ; or evil;
into the evil of sin, and
there lie and wallow in
it, and into the evil of
punishment, into hell
itself

PROVERBS 24:24
|
24)He that saith unto the
wicked, thou art righteous;
him shall the people curse,
nations shall abhor him,
|
HE THAT SAITH UNTO
THE WICKED THOU ART
RIGHTEOUS
The judges who pervert
justice by declaring the
wicked to be innocent
the people will be
curse, justifying the
wicked for reward, and
condemning the just,
which is abomination
unto LORD him shall the
people curse, nations
shall abhor him; the
people of the land shall
curse him as an unjust
judge, as a patron of
wickedness
|
|
PROVERBS 28:1
|
1)The wicked flee when no
man pursueth: but the
righteous are bold as a lion
|
THE WICKED FLEE
WHEN NO PURSUETH
The wicked people
usually have a
distressing fear that
their sin will eventually
catch up with them,
because a
consciousness of their
guilt excites in them a
continual expectation
and dread of GOD
judgments, sometime
they are plagued with
fear , jumping at every
sound and being
suspicious of every
person who approach
them such is the nature
of sin, that it betrays
while no one accuse
him, it makes the sinner
a timid being one that
tremble at a sound
because of their own
guilt put them into a
continual expectation
and dread of GOD’S
judgments
BUT THE RIGHTEOUS
ARE BOLD AS A LION
The righteous are
courageous and
resolute, they are
undismal in the
presence of danger,
now righteous men are
as bold as this creature,
or more so; some of
them have stopped the
months of lions, and
dwelt securely in their
midst ,as righteous
Daniel may be fearless
like the lion having the
testimony of a good
conscience, and assured
of divine favor and
protection, they know
that GOD is on their
side and CHRIST has
overcome the world for
them they are fearless
of Satan and his
principalities; they are
delivered out of his
hand and whatever
happens they are safe in
the everlasting arm of
the LORD and the
supports and
consolation of the Holy
Ghost

PROVERBS 29:2
|
2)When the righteous are
in authority, the people
rejoice; but when the
wicked beareth rule, the
people mourn
|
WHEN THE RIGHTEOUS
ARE IN AUTHORITY THE
PEOPLE REJOICE
When sinners are put
away, and the righteous
are in the majority,
when the just, when
good men give the tone
to society and conduct
all affairs according to
Their own high
standard, the people
rejoice, there is general
happiness; prosperity
abounds, and voice ring
cheerfully, for the
blessed effects of their
good government, the
people rejoice; the
whole body of people
because of public good,
a state is happy under
such an administration;
everyone feels and
enjoys the advantage of
it
BUT WHEN THE WICKED
BEARETH RULE PEOPLE
MOURN
When the wicked the
ungodly men govern
bear rule tyranny and
oppression and
because of the sad state
of things, the number of
good people is reduced,
being cut off, of obliged
to flee; wicked men and
wickedness are
encouraged and
promoted; heavy taxes
are laid upon them and
exorbitant demands
made cruelty, injustice,
and arbitrary power
exercised, the people
mourn, they suffer
violence and injustice,
mischief, oppression
and have bitter cause
for complaint and
lamentation, which they
feel

HOSEA 10:12
|
12)Sow to yourselves in
righteousness, reap in
mercy; break up your fallow
ground; for it is time to seek
the LORD, till he come and
rain righteousness upon you
|
SOW TO YOURSELVES
RIGHTEOUSNESS
Sow to yourselves in
righteousness, exercise
yourselves in the works
of righteousness
holiness, that
righteousness may
spring from it, in the
performance of all
duties due both to GOD
and man,
REAP IN MERCY:
And then GOD, of his
grace and mercy, will, in
due time, bestow an
abundant rewards upon
you,
BREAK UP YOUR
FALLOW GROUND; FOR
IT IS TIME TO SEEK THE
LORD
Here they are urge to
turn over a new leaf, as
we say; to bring a new
life; to root out the
weeds of sin; to
eradicate those evil
passion
RAIN RIGHTEOUNESS
that is CHRIST, whose
coming is as the rain
and who, when he
should come, whether
personally by his
incanation, or spiritually
by his gracious
presence, would rain a
plentiful rain of the
doctrines of grace, and
blessing of it, such as
peace, pardon,
righteousness wroth out
by CHRIST, which is fully
manifested in the
gospel, Plentifully pour
out the fruits of his own
goodness and mercy
which he hath
promised, and having
promised, it is a
righteous thing they
should be given
according to promise;
thus the mercies of
GOD to us are his
righteousnes
|
|
PROVERBS 29:7
|
7)The righteous considereth
the cause of the poor; but
the wicked regardeth not to
know it
|
THE RIGHTEOUS
CONSIDERETH THE
CAUSE OF THE POOR
The righteous
champion justice and
care for the poor,
concern for the poor
and needy, the believer
who are true follower of
CHRIST will likewise
share his concern that
the poor be treated
fairly and
compassionately, they
are weak and lack
resources to defend
themselves, righteous
people do not sit down
idly by while the poor
and helpless are
mistreated, oppressed,
and persecuted, we as
righteous must stand
and speak for their
defense, we must do
everything to secure
justice for them and
ensure that they are
treated fairly, and have
opportunity to hear
and respond to the
gospel of the kingdom
with various blessing
BUT THE WICKED
REGARDE NOT TO
KNOW IT
The wicked ignored and
show no concern of the
poor and needy of their
rights and needs, either
because it yields him no
profit, or because he
resolves to give away
the poor man’s right
|
|
PROVERBS 29: 16
|
16) When the wicked are
multiplied, transgression
increaseth but the righteous
shall see their fall
|
WHEN WICKED ARE
MULTIPLED
TRANSGRESSION
INCREASE
When the godless are
many, sins become
many, where the
wicked get the upper
hand in a community,
their evil example is
copied, and a lowering
of moral tone and
general laxity in conduct
prevail, the wicked
cause the spread of sin
and sinners abound,
and grow rude by
impunity, being
encouraged by the
wicked rulers, whose
example they follow; or
as the wicked
themselves increase, in
numbers, in age, in
power; and riches, their
sin increase too
BUT THE RIGHTEOUS
SHALL SEE THEIR FALL
But the righteous shall
see their fall, retribution
shall overtake them,
and GOD’S justice shall
vindicated them the
righteous shall witness,
and shall rejoice in
vengeance, when his
eye shall see its desire
upon his enemies from
their place of authority
and power, of honor,
riches and grandeur,
into a low and
despicable condition,
into ruin and
destruction because of
the glory of GOD

|
SAY YE TO THE
RIGHTEOUS THAT IT
SHALL BE WELL WITH
HIM
The righteous are
encourage to remain
faithful to GOD in the
midst of unrighteous
people, although now
they might suffer
because of
righteousness, it would
ultimately go well for
them and GOD would
richly reward them
the righteous raise their
moral nature, they do
good, and believed in
JESUS CHRIST for
righteousness, they

maintaining good
works, become better
and happier ,it is well
with them, for the fruit
of their doing they eat ,

done for them by whose
righteousness we are
justified, under the
influence of the Holy
Spirit and His grace,

BLESSED ARE THEY
WHICH ARE
PERSECUTED FOR
RIGHTEOUSNESS
Those who are
harassed, hunted,
spoiled, oppressed one,
the men of the world
judge those men very
unhappy and miserable
whom their rulers make
the objects of wrath
and malice, and pursue
violently to loss their
liberties, or lives,
because they are
righteous and the friend
of GOD being insulted,
abused, ridiculed ,
scolded, mocked hurt,
attacked, tortured
RIGHTEOUSNESS SAKE
On account of their
righteous and godly
conversation, the
person who lives and
speaks for
righteousness react
against and the person
who lives and speaks for
CHRIST, believers suffer
persecution because
they are not of the
world, they are called
out of the world, they
are in the world, but not
of the world, they are
separated from the
world and its behavior
therefore the world
reacts against them
they live and
demonstrate the life of
righteousness they do
not compromise with
the world and its sinful
nature they live pure
and godly lives, having
nothing to do with the
sinful pleasures of
corruptible world,
which exposes one to
sin ,which bring upon
them the hatred and
enmity of the men of
the world by living
righteously, separate
themselves from them
and profess themselves
not to belong to them;
their religious life,
which condemns their
wicked lives and
practice and which fills
them with wrath against
them and put them on
persecuting them
The righteousness is the
righteousness of the
cause of CHRIST and His
gospel, making a
profession of CHRIST,
show in a concern for
His interest exposing
them to the rage and
persecution of man ,
and they are persecuted
for preaching,
maintaining, or
embracing, the doctrine
of justification by
righteousness in
CHRIST; because is not

THERE IS THE KINGDOM

knoweth that ye have need

33) But seek ye first the

|
THEREFORE TAKE NO
THOUGHT SAYING
WHAT SHALL WE DRINK
CHRIST says Do not
worry, do not be
thinking and talking
about food, drink and
clothing its the thinking
and conversation of the
worldly people, the
believer is different, for
the worldly people run
after all these things,
we are advised not to
be like them as they are
more concerned and
wrapped up in the
world and in the things
of the world, all they
know is securing and
seeking all they can of
what the world has to
offer, they seek the
good life that comes
from possession, life to
them is money, houses
furniture, food, cars,
clothing recreation
property all material
things of the world the
give pride, power, fame
and recognition , they
are strangers to the
things of GOD and the
hope of GOD, therefore
they know nothing
except to seek the
things of the world to
secure their heart
desire
FOR YOUR HEAVENLY
FATHER KNOWNS THAT
YOU NEED THEM
The believer has a
heavenly FATHER who
knowns our needs, the
believer is different
from the word(the lost)
, the believer has a
heavenly FATHER who
knows our needs, He is
a FATHER and will take
care of His Children and
has all things at His
command, has an
heavenly FATHER and
He lives in heaven, who
sit in heaven and does
what ever pleases Him
on earth, He does not
live on earth , He knows
that we have needs, He
knows all things,
difficulties, wants and
necessities he knows
that we need all these
things clothing, food
shelter, drinks that we
cannot do without
them, it is in his power
to relieve us
SEEK YE FIRST THE
KINGDOM OF GOD AND
HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS
Do not worry, but seek
first the kingdom of
GOD and his
righteousness, seek, to
go after, to strive; to
pursue; to desire; to
aim to search for, the
believer’s life is not to
be preoccupied with
material things, as
necessary as some
things are .
The believer is first of all
to seek after the
kingdom of GOD he is to
seek to become a
citizen of GOD’S
kingdom, encouraging
them to become a
citizen of GOD’S
kingdom, and His
righteousness, he is to
live the cares of this
world up to GOD, as he
diligently goes about his
affairs of life , seek how
to study to get to
heaven, and how to
promote the kingdom of
GOD in the world; to
bring your hearts into
subjection to the will of
GOD, that the kingdom
of GOD may be within
you, and how to bring
others to the obedience
of faith and of the will
of GOD, the
righteousness of GOD,
which is revealed in the
Gospel, this is not the
righteousness of man,
but of GOD; and is no
other than the
righteousness of
CHRIST; so called,
because he is GOD who
has wrought it is to
what GOD approves ,
heaven is to be sought
for in the first place and
CHRIST righteousness is
to be sought for

ROMANS 8:4

4) That the righteousness of
the law might be fulfilled in
us, who walk not after the
flesh, but after the spirit
|
RIGHTEOUSNESS OF
THE LAW MIGHT BE
FILLED IN US
The Spirit gives life by
CHRIST providing
righteousness for all
who do not follow the
sinful nature, but follow
the spirit, the Holy Spirit
working within believers
allows them to live the
life of righteous, so that
the righteous and just
requirement of the law
might be fulfilled in us,
the Spirit meet the
righteous requirement
of the law in us, he
credits righteousness as
being in us when we
believe that JESUS
CHRIST is our
righteousness, the
sinless and perfect son
of GOD, when we
believe that JESUS
CHRIST is our savior the
one who died for us,
when we believe in
JESUS CHRIST, the Spirit
of GOD fulfills
righteousness in us, He
takes the righteousness
of CHRIST, (which is the
righteousness of the
law) and credit it to us,
He place within us the
perfect righteousness of
JESUS CHRIST, He place
the Divine nature the
righteousness of GOD,
the Spirit fulfills the
righteousness in us, He
alone meets the
requirement of the Law
in us, on our own we
cannot come close in
keeping the law
perfectly but CHRIST
did, if His righteousness
cannot be credited and
fulfilled in us then we
are hopeless and
doomed
WHO WALK NOT AFTER
THE FLESH BUT AFTER
THE SPIRIT
CHRIST has fulfilled the
whole righteousness in
the law, all requirement
and the law being
fulfilled and it is
imputed in us, which
make us perfect and
legally justified , you can
tell who is righteous or
not by those who do
not live their lives in the
ways of the flesh guided
by worldliness and
sinful nature, which is
seen as the fulfillment
of GOD moral Law
But we must live our life
in the ways of the Spirit
guided by His power,
according to the
dictates and guidance of
the Spirit indwelling of
CHRIST, righteousness is
not fulfilled or credited
in everyone, it is only
fulfilled in those who do
not , live according to
sinful nature, who do
live according to the
Spirit,

FOR THE KINGDOM OF
GOD IS NOT MEAT AND
DRINK
The kingdom of GOD is
the believers concerned
not pleasure, the
kingdom of GOD is not
eating and drinking that
is, it is not concerned
with external matters
but with the heart, as
we enter into believing
in CHRIST, and
becoming His subject,
the believer must
readily stay away from
anything that will
distress or make him to

,sanctification, and holy
conduct, being and
doing what is right;
establishing and
maintaining the highest
possible good with GOD
and man, virtue
integrity, a faithful
discharge of all the
duties which we owe to
GOD and to follow man
arising from the blood

CHRIST and the Spiritual
joy and comfort the

Peace: being in a right

GOD and man
maintaining that
relationship with the
highest good between
GOD and man
Joy: experiencing the
fulfillment and
happiness of a right
relationship with GOD
and man; bearing the
fruit of being right with
GOD and man
The believer is to be
concerned with people
and their relation with
GOD and with ourself,
not with the right to eat
, drink and socialize ,
the believer is to put up
the Spiritual welfare of
people before his own
to please both GOD and

ISAIAH 10:1-2
|
1)Woe unto them that
decrees, and that write
grievousness which they
have prescribed
2)To turn aside the needy
from judgment, and to take
away the right from the
poor of My people, that
widows may be their prey,
and that they may rob the
fatherless
|
WOE UNTO THEM THAT
DECREES AND WRITE
UNRIGHTEOUSNESS
Woe (judgment) is coming
to those who make unjust
laws, who frame statutes
that are oppressive , to
those who issue oppressive
decrees that made
unrighteous laws; laws
which were not agreeable
to the law of GOD and
injurious to person and the
properties of men and
which are calculated for the
oppression of righteous
men, especially the poor
and needy for the
protection of wicked men
GOD will judge crooked
judges and those who
oppress others by making
unjust laws, and gave forth
unjust sentences, which is
termed grievous edict ,
which caused grief and
vexation to their subject,
will be oppressed
themselves,
GOD”S hand of judgment
was raised against those to
their injustice, the word
woe, which stress that a
special judgment is going to
fall upon the leaders who
write unfair, unjust laws,
those particular leaders
includes the politicians,
judges, lawyers and military
officers throughout the
nation, instead of serving
the people, they were using
the law to oppress the
people, that widows may be
their prey, that they may
rob widows and obtain their
properties, the widows and
the orphans are without
protection, they were
actually depriving the poor,
weak and oppressed of
justice, were plundering the
widow and fatherless of the
nation
TO TURN ASIDE THE NEEDY
FROM JUDGMENT
From obtaining just
judgment, because these
rulers and judges either
denied or delayed to hear
their causes, or when they
heard them they decide
unjustly, were harassed
with such long vexatious,
and expensive suits
THEY TAKE AWAY THE
RIGHT FROM THE POOR
For not to do justice to the
Poor of My people, they are
exactly the classes for
whom GOD had most
compassion, PSALMS 41:1-3
PROVERBS 14:31 for not to
do justice to the poor is the
same as to rob and plunder
them, and take away by
force what rightfully
belongs to them, the poor
whom I have, in a special
way committed to their
hand to take care, who are
people of GOD, whom He
had taken into covenant
with Himself, and therefore
their action is an injury not
only to them but more
specially to GOD, the
punishment assigned to this
iniquity is, that they should
be absolutely deserted and
deprived of help and
protection from GOD,
whose laws they had so
shamefully perverted: and
should perish miserable
before their enemies
