He heals the brokenhearted
    and binds up their pain

 He determines the number of the stars
    and calls them each by name

 God is great, 
and mighty in power;
     his understanding
is more than we can count

דָּמִיתִי לִקְאַת מִדְבָּר הָיִיתִי כְּכוֹס חֳרָבֽוֹת.שָׁקַדְתִּי וָאֶֽהְיֶה כְּצִפּוֹר בּוֹדֵד עַל־גָּֽג. ... תִּכָּתֶב זֹאת לְדוֹר אַחֲרוֹן וְעַם נִבְרָא יְהַלֶּל־יָֽהּ. כִּֽי־הִשְׁקִיף מִמְּרוֹם קָדְשׁוֹ יְהוָה מִשָּׁמַיִם אֶל־אֶרֶץ הִבִּֽיט

I am like a desert owl,
    like an owl among the ruins
 I lie awake; I have become
    like a bird alone on a roof
...
Let this be written for a future generation,
    that a people not yet created may praise the Lord:
 “The Lord looked down from his sanctuary on high,
    from heaven he viewed the earth

My son, 
always remember my teaching,
    and take my instructions to heart
 
because they will prolong your life many years and bring you peace and prosperity

Love and truth

 - let them never leave you -

Flaunt them like a necklace,
write them into the very fabric of your heart

Then you will win favor and a good reputation in the perspectives of both God and man

What does RIGHTEOUSNESS really mean and where does it originate from?

Definitions:
צָדַק tsâdaq, tsaw-dak';
a primitive root; to be (causatively, make) right (in a moral or forensic sense):—cleanse, clear self, (be, do) just(-ice, -ify, -ify self), (be turn to) righteous(-ness).

Example:
מִדְּבַר־שֶׁקֶר תִּרְחָק וְנָקִי וְצַדִּיק אַֽל־תַּהֲרֹג כִּי לֹא־אַצְדִּיק רָשָֽׁע

Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked

#Exodus 23:7

https://t.me/torahtruth

יוֹדֵעַ צַדִּיק נֶפֶשׁ בְּהֶמְתּוֹ וְֽרַחֲמֵי רְשָׁעִים אַכְזָרִֽי. עֹבֵד אַדְמָתוֹ יִֽשְׂבַּֽע־לָחֶם וּמְרַדֵּף רֵיקִים חֲסַר־לֵֽב. חָמַד רָשָׁע מְצוֹד רָעִים וְשֹׁרֶשׁ צַדִּיקִים יִתֵּֽן. בְּפֶשַׁע שְׂפָתַיִם מוֹקֵשׁ רָע וַיֵּצֵא מִצָּרָה צַדִּֽיק. מִפְּרִי פִי־ אִישׁ יִשְׂבַּע־טוֹב וּגְמוּל יְדֵי־אָדָם ישוב לֽוֹ.

Righteous people take good care of their animals, but the wicked know only how to be cruel. Farmers who work their land have plenty of food, but those who waste their time on worthless projects are foolish. The wicked want a share of what an evil man might catch.

But like a plant with deep roots, a righteous man is the one who produces the most.

The wicked are trapped by their foolish words, but righteous people escape from such trouble. People get good things for the words they say, and they are rewarded for the work they do. Fools always think their own way is best, but wise people listen to what others tell them.


#Proverbs 12:10-15

So it was that before Isaiah had left the middle courtyard, this message came to him from the LORD:

“Go back to Hezekiah, the leader of my people. Tell him, ‘This is what the LORD, the God of your ancestor David, says:

I have heard your prayer and seen your tears. I will heal you, and three days from now, you will get out of bed and rise up to the House of the LORD.

A Meditation; Psalm by David

I said to myself,

“I will watch my ways, and keep my tongue from sin, like putting a muzzle on my mouth while in the company of the wicked.”

So I did; remaining completely silent, not even saying anything good. But my anguish increased; my heart grew hot within me

I meditated, while the fire burned;
then I spoke with my tongue:

“Show me, Lord, how is my life going end? When I complete the number of my days; let me know why is life so fleeting?

I have heard all about you, LORD.
I am filled with awe by your amazing works. In this time of our deep need, help us again as you did in years gone by. And in your anger, remember your mercy

...I see God moving across the landscapes ...

His brilliant splendor fills the heavens, and the earth is filled with his praise

His coming is as brilliant as the sunrise. Rays of light flash from his hands, where his awesome power is hidden.

But Moses protested,

“If I go to the people of Israel and tell them, ‘The God of your ancestors has sent me to you,’ they will ask me, ‘What is his name?’ Then what should I tell them?”

The Elohim replied to Moses,

“I AM WHO I AM. Say that to the people of Israel: I AM has sent me to you.”

Remember the things I have done in the past. For I alone am God!

Everything I plan will come to pass,

On the morning of the third day there was thunder and lightning, with a thick cloud over the mountain, and a very loud horn blasting. Everyone in the camp trembled. Then Moses led the people out of the camp to meet with the Elohim, and they stood at the foot of the mountain.

Mount Sinai was covered with smoke, because the Lord descended on it in fire. The smoke billowed up from it like smoke from a furnace, and the whole mountain trembled violently. As the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke and the voice of the Elohim answered him.

Then descended God to the top of Mount Sinai and called Moses to the top of the mountain. So Moses went up
