:1 – Wisdom
gives you a bold and shiny face.
:6 – Not only
a season for all things, but to every purpose there is time andjudgment.
~This will likely be a key scripture in my next sermon “God is my
attorney.”*** It falls under the category of the rain falling
on the righteous as well as the unrighteous. Judgment happens to
every purpose...even the purpose of a misdiagnosis, like what
happened the day my husband passed away. And that doctor died within a year. I don't know if he was a believer or not, but I know he took an oath. And God takes covenants seriously, as I have seen all over the OT.
:8 – This is interesting. Man may not have power to keep the
spirit in a body of a man, but God sure does. And when we are
speaking as His oracle, we have that power as well as the sons of
God, rather than *only* men. I heard a preacher last week talking
about her husband coming back to life twice when the doctors said he had died. So somewhere with her was that power to keep that spirit with that body! Hallelujah!

:11-:13 – Distinguishing between the sinner, one who fears God, and
then the wicked. The sinner can sin a lot and still live a long time,
but the wicked won't. So who is the wicked if it is not the sinner?
Ecclesiastes 9then the wicked. The sinner can sin a lot and still live a long time,
but the wicked won't. So who is the wicked if it is not the sinner?
:2 – All things come alike to all ~Very similar to the expression of rain falling upon the righteous as well as the unrighteous
:4 – A living dog is better than a dead lion ~I would add that a dead lion is also better than a live one out of a
cage or its environment.
:7
– Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy
wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works. ~All
I want to say is that it's
in there.
:11
– the race is not to the swift...but time and chance
happeneth to them all. ~Just ask
the tortoise and the hare!
:17
– Yes, wise words are usually heard in quiet, although I never
actually thought of that.
Ecclesiastes 10– Yes, wise words are usually heard in quiet, although I never
actually thought of that.
:2 – Wise
man's heart is on his right, and a fool's on his left – reminds
me of the French expression I learned yesterday having to do with
Gauche, meaning left, literally (en francᾶis)
but figuratively meaning undesirable.
:16 - :20 –
Going back to sounding like Proverbs...including the expressions: By
much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the
hands the house droppeth through...money answereth all things...and
don't curse someone in secret, because a little birdie will tell the
person about it.
Ecclesiastes 11
:3 – Where a
tree falls, so is it. Who knew that was a biblical expression?
:8 – Live many
years, see many dark days.
:10 – This
verse will really preach to people hanging onto the excuse of having
a hard childhood, woe is me. Therefore remove sorrow
from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and
youth are vanity.
Ecclesiastes 12
:6 – silver
cord, golden bowl, pitcher at the fountain, wheel at the cistern
:12 – much
study is a weariness of the flesh~
Ha! Again, it's in there.
Song of Solomon 1
:1 - Self titled
Song of Songs
:5

the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.
:4
– his banner over me was love
Song of Solomon 3
Looking for lost love.
Song of Solomon 4
Symbolism all over.
The kind that was lost in translation. Neck like a tower for an army?
Song of Solomon 5
Playing hard to get.
Or hide and seek.
Song of Solomon 6
Although intensely
romantic, I feel this book describes the depth and passion of God's
love for His people somehow.
Song of Solomon 7
:2 – Oh, to have a navel like a goblet. Whew.
Song of Solomon 8
It is hard to imagine wanting the love of your life to be your sibling, but perhaps that was an attempt to express the desire to have known him longer in life.
I understand that some religions have banned this book from young children to read because of the intensely romantic innuendos. I wonder if Solomon gave a copy to every one of his sweethearts?

orator(s).
Isaiah 4

of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the
glory shall be a defence.
:6 – Tent verse!
Isaiah 5
:1 - Good time for a song. Almost sounds like we're going back to Song of Songs.
:14 – Hell expanded itself.
Isaiah 6:1 - I see the Lord
:7 – Coal is
still used for detoxifying the body today.
Isaiah 7
:3 – fuller's field
:10 – 14 – I am wondering how this is a sign to Ahaz, since Jesus' birth was long after...but perhaps it was intended as a sign to the whole
generation to come after Ahaz.
:15 – Eating butter and honey have something to do with discerning good verses evil.
Isaiah 8
:3 – Isaiah called his wife the prophetess.
Wow, I never thought of Isaiah as a dad. You have to really be able
to hear from God to get that whole name for that childMaher-shalal-hash-baz = Maher-shalal-hash-baz "swift is booty, speedy is prey" 1) symbolic name given by Isaiah by the Lord's direction to Isaiah's son; prophetic indication that Damascus and Samaria were soon to be plundered by the king of Assyria http://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?Strongs=H4122&t=KJV

:27 – And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.
I LOVE ISAIAH!!!
Isaiah 11:2 – Spirits of God: 1) spirit of the LORD, 2) spirit of wisdom, 3) spirit of understanding, 4) spirit of counsel, 5) spirit of might, 6) spirit of
knowledge, 7) spirit of the fear of the LORD
Isaiah 12
:3 – Therefore with joy shall ye draw waters out of the wells of salvation.
~Salvation is the well the woman came to when Jesus said “Drink of me and you will never thirst again.” Salvation is the well. And
wells are for getting water. You just have to dig one deep enough to
get to the water. If you're thirsty, dig a little deeper. Hallelujah!!!***
Isaiah 13

1) eleventh son of Joktan
2) a land or city in southern Arabia in Solomon's trade route where gold evidently was traded for goods

Isaiah 14:12 – Fall of Lucifer.
:16 – Lucifer is referred to as a man...which would negate the idea that he was Satan, a spirit or angel. In fact, going back to verse 4, it looks as though all this is in reference to the king of Babylon. Context is everything.
:22 – Refers back again to Babylon being cut off.
Isaiah 15
