He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour: but he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him.

His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.

And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken unto me, saith the LORD, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but hallow the sabbath day, to do no work therein; / Then shall there enter into the gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall remain for ever.

For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.

And it shall come to pass, that as the LORD rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the LORD will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it.

He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy is he. (Psalms 16:20)
