Revalations 22:21. I'm making ya'll look this one up.
-
"And the angel of the lord came unto me, snatching me up from my place of slumber. And took me on high, and higher still until we moved to the spaces betwixt the air itself. And he brought me into a vast farmlands of our own midwest. And as we descended, cries of impending doom rose from the soil. One thousand, nay a million voices full of fear. And terror possesed me then.
And I begged, "Angel of the Lord, what are these tortured screams?" And the angel said unto me, "These are the cries of the carrots, the cries of the carrots! You see, Reverend Maynard, tomorrow is harvest day and to them it is the holocaust." And I sprang from my slumber drenched in sweat like the tears of one million terrified brothers and roared, "Hear me now, I have seen the light! They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers!" Can I get an amen? Can I get a hallelujah? Thank you Jesus".

My favorite verse is: 1st John 1:7
"But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin."

The Book of Amos
Israel was laid waste because of its injustices to the poor and weak.
''I will not turn away the punishment ... I will send fire ... to devour the palaces ... they have despised the Lord and not kept the commandments ... because they sold the righteous for silver; and the poor for a pair of shoes. That pant dust on the heads of the poor and turn aside the weak ... and profane my name ... they palaces shalt be spoilt ... I have sent pestilence ... PREPARE TO MEET THEY GOD ... Ye who turn justice to wormwood and leave off righteousness from the earth ...
Foreasmuch as ye trod on the poor ...
take a bribe ...
turn aside the poor ...
turned judgment into gall ...
YE SHALL BE CAPTIVE ...
I WILL RISE UP NATIONS AGAINST YOU ...
THEY SHALL AFFLICT YOU ...
THY SONS AND DAUGHTERS SHALL FALL BY THE SWORD ...
YOU WILL DIE IN A POLLUTED LAND ...
YE SHALL SUFFER FLOODS ... FOR THE WATERS OF THE SEA SHALL POUR UPON THEE ...
ALL SINNERS OF MY PEOPLE SHALL DIE BY THE SWORD
But how is all this to be prevented?
See Psalm 41:1, 2 and Matthew 25:31 et seq --- the only way to do so is to protect the poor and helpless.

Favorite Bible verse
Mine are Philipians 4:13;"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." And then Philipians 4:19;"And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." In fact, I like the writings of Paul. He is so practical. And then there are the Psalms, 2 favorites being Psalm 34 and Psalm 121. Have a great night-as ever,Ruth

One of my favorites is Jeremiah 29:11-13 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart"
I like it because it says that God has a plan for my life even when i'm not walking with him and he will always be there when i turn back to him.
Also, i enjoy Lamentations 5:20 cuz it asks God why he has forsaken them...and sometimes it does feel like that. And Ecclesiastes 3:1-10 because of what it says about there being a time for everything
My fave version of the Bible is New Living Translation but i have a NIV
sorry if i overloaded on the info in this post : )

1 Corinthias 13, in Latin, how we had to learn it by heart at school. I love it. :)
1 Si linguis hominum loquar, et angelorum, caritatem autem non habeam, factus sum velut ćs sonans, aut cymbalum tinniens.
2 Et si habuero prophetiam, et noverim mysteria omnia, et omnem scientiam: et si habuero omnem fidem ita ut montes transferam, caritatem autem non habuero, nihil sum.
3 Et si distribuero in cibos pauperum omnes facultates meas, et si tradidero corpus meum ita ut ardeam, caritatem autem non habuero, nihil mihi prodest.
4 Caritas patiens est, benigna est. Caritas non ćmulatur, non agit perperam, non inflatur,
5 non est ambitiosa, non qućrit quć sua sunt, non irritatur, non cogitat malum,
6 non gaudet super iniquitate, congaudet autem veritati:
7 omnia suffert, omnia credit, omnia sperat, omnia sustinet.
8 Caritas numquam excidit: sive prophetić evacuabuntur, sive linguć cessabunt, sive scientia destruetur.
9 Ex parte enim cognoscimus, et ex parte prophetamus.
10 Cum autem venerit quod perfectum est, evacuabitur quod ex parte est.
11 Cum essem parvulus, loquebar ut parvulus, sapiebam ut parvulus, cogitabam ut parvulus. Quando autem factus sum vir, evacuavi quć erant parvuli.
12 Videmus nunc per speculum in ćnigmate: tunc autem facie ad faciem. Nunc cognosco ex parte: tunc autem cognoscam sicut et cognitus sum.
13 Nunc autem manent fides, spes, caritas, tria hćc: major autem horum est caritas.

"He which testifieth these things sayeth, surely I come quickly, Amen, even so, come Lord Jesus" Rev 22:20
-
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves."
-- 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
This one has the power to soothe me when all else fails.
Right, Latin! Just above me. I knew that.

Psalm 137:9
Happy he that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the rock.
-
As a non-believer I am free to enjoy the Bible as literature. Only the King James version will do for me. There are so many wonderful passages in it. The whole of the Song Of Solomon is brilliantly poetic. The Book Of Revalations is almost Miltonic. So a single verse is hard to pin down. I would be happy enough though, as a keen hill walker, to have verse 1 of the 121st Psalm on my tombstone. "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, whence cometh my help"

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true,
whatsoever things are honest,
whatsoever things are just,
whatsoever things are pure,
whatsoever things are lovely,
whatsoever things are of good report;
if there be any virtue,
and if there be any praise,
think on these things.
-- Philippians 4:8 (KJV)
