I’ve learned that everything has its limits. But your commands are perfect. They are always there when I need them. Mem

我看万事尽都有限，惟有你的命令极其宽广。

To all perfection I see a limit, but your commands are boundless.

I have seen a limit to all perfection, but your commandment is exceedingly broad.

Even perfection has its limits, but your commands have no limit. Mem

I have seen a limit to all perfection, but your command is without limit.

I have seen a limit to all perfection; Your commandment is exceedingly broad. Mem

I have seen the consummation of all perfection, But Your commandment is exceedingly broad.

I have seen an end of all perfection; But thy commandment is exceeding broad.

I have seen a limit to all perfection, but Your command is without limit.

I have seen an end of all perfection:[ but] thy commandment[ is] exceeding broad.

I realize that everything has its limits, but your commands are beyond full comprehension.מ( Mem)

I have seen a limit to all perfection, but your commands are boundless.

“ Meaningless! Everything is meaningless!” says the Teacher.“ Nothing has any meaning.”

Jesus answered,“ Here is the most important one. Moses said,‘ Israel, listen to me. The Lord is our God. The Lord is one.Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. Love him with all your mind and with all your strength.’( Deuteronomy 6:4, 5)And here is the second one.‘ Love your neighbor as you love yourself.’( Leviticus 19:18) There is no commandment more important than these.”“ You have spoken well, teacher,” the man replied.“ You are right in saying that God is one. There is no other God but him.To love God with all your heart and mind and strength is very important. So is loving your neighbor as you love yourself. These things are more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”Jesus saw that the man had answered wisely. He said to him,“ You are not far from God’s kingdom.” From then on, no one dared to ask Jesus any more questions.

But here is what I tell you. Do not even look at a woman in the wrong way. Anyone who does has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

“ Meaningless! Everything is meaningless!” says the Teacher.“ Everything is completely meaningless! Nothing has any meaning.”What do people get for all their work? Why do they work so hard on this earth?

You have given me only a few days to live. My whole life doesn’t seem like anything to you. No one lasts any longer than a breath. This is true even for those who feel secure.People are only shadows as they go here and there. They rush around, but it doesn’t mean anything. They pile up wealth, but they don’t know who will finally get it.

The law of the Lord is perfect. It gives us new strength. The laws of the Lord can be trusted. They make childish people wise.The rules of the Lord are right. They give joy to our hearts. The commands of the Lord shine brightly. They give light to our minds.

Joab’s men threw Absalom into a big pit in the forest. They covered him with a large pile of rocks. While all of that was going on, all the Israelites ran back to their homes.

In those days the advice Ahithophel gave was as good as advice from someone who asks God for guidance. That’s what David and Absalom thought about all of Ahithophel’s advice.

In the whole land of Israel there wasn’t any man as handsome as Absalom was. That’s why everyone praised him. From the top of his head to the bottom of his feet he didn’t have any flaws.

But then I looked over everything my hands had done. I saw what I had worked so hard to get. And nothing had any meaning. It was like chasing the wind. Nothing was gained on this earth.

What should we say then? That the law is sinful? Not at all! Yet I wouldn’t have known what sin was unless the law had told me. The law says,“ Do not want what belongs to other people.”( Exodus 20:17; Deuteronomy 5:21) If the law hadn’t said that, I would not have known what it was like to want what belongs to others.But the commandment gave sin an opportunity. Sin caused me to want all kinds of things that belong to others. A person can’t sin by breaking a law if that law doesn’t exist.Before I knew about the law, I was alive. But then the commandment came. Sin came to life, and I died.I found that the commandment that was supposed to bring life actually brought death.When the commandment gave sin the opportunity, sin tricked me. It used the commandment to put me to death.So the law is holy. The commandment also is holy and right and good.

Heaven and earth will pass away. But my words will never pass away.

Goliath stood there and shouted to the soldiers of Israel. He said,“ Why do you come out and line up for battle? I’m a Philistine. You are servants of Saul. Choose one of your men. Have him come down and face me.

Kish had a son named Saul. Saul was a handsome young man. He was more handsome than anyone in Israel. And he was a head taller than anyone else.

Saul spoke to the man carrying his armor. He said,“ Pull out your sword. Stick it through me. If you don’t, these fellows who aren’t circumcised will come. They’ll stick their swords through me and hurt me badly.” But the man was terrified. He wouldn’t do it. So Saul took his own sword and fell on it.The man saw that Saul was dead. So he fell on his own sword and died with him.

It is true that there isn’t anyone on earth who does only what is right and never sins.

He reached into his bag. He took out a stone. He put it in his sling. He slung it at Goliath. The stone hit him on the forehead and sank into it. He fell to the ground on his face.So David won the fight against Goliath with a sling and a stone. He struck down the Philistine and killed him. He did it without even using a sword.David ran and stood over him. He picked up Goliath’s sword and cut off his head with it. The Philistines saw that their hero was dead. So they turned around and ran away.

What I’m about to tell you is true. Heaven and earth will disappear before the smallest letter disappears from the Law. Not even the smallest mark of a pen will disappear from the Law until everything is completed.

We know that the law is holy. But I am not. I have been sold to be a slave of sin.

Jesus replied,“‘ Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. Love him with all your mind.’( Deuteronomy 6:5)This is the first and most important commandment.And the second is like it.‘ Love your neighbor as you love yourself.’( Leviticus 19:18)Everything that is written in the Law and the Prophets is based on these two commandments.”

Ahithophel saw that his advice wasn’t being followed. So he put a saddle on his donkey. He started out for his house in his hometown. When he arrived, he made everything ready for his death. He made out his will. Then he killed himself. And so he died and was buried in his father’s tomb.

Joab said,“ I’m not going to waste any more time on you.” So he got three javelins. Then he went over and plunged them into Absalom’s heart. He did it while Absalom was still hanging there alive in the oak tree.

The word of God is alive and active. It is sharper than any sword that has two edges. It cuts deep enough to separate soul from spirit. It can separate bones from joints. It judges the thoughts and purposes of the heart.Nothing God created is hidden from him. His eyes see everything. He will hold us responsible for everything we do.
