5And the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night, saying$1 Ask what you will that I should give you.

7And now, OH Lord God, you have made your servant king instead of David my father: and I am but a child, and know not how to go out and come in.

8And your servant is in the midst of the people which you have chosen, an immense people, which cannot be numbered nor counted for crowd.

9Give therefore to your servant an understanding heart, to judge your people, and discern between good and evil. For who shall be able to judge this people, your people which is so numerous?

10And the word was pleasing to the Lord that Solomon had asked such a thing.

11And the Lord said to Solomon: Because you have asked this thing, and have not asked for yourself long life or riches, nor the lives of your enemies, but have asked for yourself wisdom to discern judgment,

12Look I have done for you according to your words, and have given you a wise and understanding heart, insomuch that there has been no one like you before you, nor shall arise after you.

57OH Lord, my share, I have said, I would keep the law.

72The law of your mouth is good to me, above thousands of gold and silver. JOD

76OH, let your mercy be for my comfort, according to your word to your servant.

77Let your tender mercies come to me, and I shall live: for your law is my meditation.

127Therefore have I loved your commands above gold and the topaz.

128Therefore was I directed to all your commands: I have hated all evil ways. PHE

129Your teachings are wonderful: therefore my soul has sought them.

130The declaration of your words gives light: and gives understanding to little ones.

28And we know that to them that love God, all things work together to good, to such as, according to his purpose, are called to be saints.

29For whom he foreknew, he also predestinated to be made conformable to the image of his Son; that he might be the firstborn amongst many brothers and sisters.

30And whom he predestinated, them he also called. And whom he called, them he also justified. And whom he justified, them he also glorified.

44The kingdom of heaven is like to a treasure hidden in a field. Which a man having found, hid it, and for joy thereof goes, and selleth all that he has, and buyeth that field.

45Again the kingdom of heaven is like to a merchant seeking good pearls.

46Who when he had found one pearl of great price, went his way, and sold all that he had, and bought it.

47Again the kingdom of heaven is like to a net cast into the sea, and gathering together of all kind of fishes.

48Which, when it was satisfied, they drew out, and sitting by the shore, they chose out the good into containers, but the bad they cast forth.

49So shall it be at the end of the world. The angels shall go out, and shall separate the evil from among the righteous.

50And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

51Have you understood all these things? They say to him: Yes.

52He said to them: Therefore every teacher of the law instructed in the kingdom of heaven, is like to a man that is a householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure new things and old.
