20 He who walks with wise men will be wise, But the companion of fools will be destroyed.

25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.

5 For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning.

34 Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.

4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.

12 Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.

27 He who has knowledge spares his words, And a man of understanding is of a calm spirit.

5 Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine.

18 In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.”

12 I know that nothing is better for them than to rejoice, and to do good in their lives, 13 and also that every man should eat and drink and enjoy the good of all his labor—it is the gift of God.
