“The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in
Jerusalem. All things have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a just man
that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth
his life in his wickedness.
Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise:
why shouldest thou destroy thyself? Be not over much wicked, neither be thou
foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time?

from this withdraw not thine hand: [FOR HE THAT FEARETH GOD SHALL COME FORTH OF
THEM ALL]” (Ecclesiastes 1:1, 7:15-18).
“Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: [FEAR GOD,

whether it be evil” (Ecclesiastes 12:13–14).

GOD]” (Hebrews 11:31).

STABLE, THAT IT BE NOT MOVED]. Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth
rejoice: and let men say among the nations, The LORD reigneth” (1 Chronicles
16: 30-31).

NOT, LITTLE FLOCK]; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the
kingdom” (Luke 12:32). “[I AM WITH YOU ALWAY, EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD].
Amen” (Matthew 28:20).
