About the Author of the Blogsite, Not the Author of the Bible:

About the Author of the Blogsite, Not the Author of the Bible: I was uncertain of how to accomplish this, mindful of Revelation 22:18-19, which says that nobody is to add to, or to take away from what was written in the Bible. After lots of prayerful contemplation, the Lord had it on my heart that I’m not to change the meaning of what is written in the Bible. He has also shown ways to add to people’s understating of that meaning, without altering the meaning, by putting that info within [brackets]. This is primarily accomplished with the KJV Bible and lots of prayers, but at times, BibleGateway.com, Biblehub.com, NIV Bible, Webster Dictionary, and other internet resources, as needed.

About Understanding the Bible:

Understanding the Bible: After reading Isaiah 28:10 many times over the years and not totally understanding it, it recently became apparent to me that the Lord God has this passage as the means for understanding the Bible. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little. Isaiah 28:10 KJV. Being prayerful about this passage, and looking up 'precept' in the Webster's Dictionary, it gave this passage a whole new meaning, once 'commandment' is substituted for 'precept'. Within brackets are additional words the Lord had on my heart to aid in understanding the meaning. For commandment must be [built up] upon commandment; commandment upon commandment; line upon line, line upon line; [developing understanding] here a little, and there a little.

The Table Format:

The Table Format: I was overwhelmed with how to explain the process for determining if someone had leprosy in Leviticus 13, which seemed very complicated. After praying, "Lord, if this is difficult for me to understand after reading it many times, how can this be explained to others?" The thought the Lord God had on my heart was for me to put it into a vertical chart to visually see the process. This made it much easier for me to follow the progression. After doing so, I prayed, "Lord, how can this be conveyed to readers, so that they can understand this process?" The thought the Lord God had on my heart was to put it within the lines of a table. Being a stiff-necked, stubborn person, as it's often called in the Bible, I prayed, asking the Lord God if He's sure that's really what He wanted me to do? I reluctantly put Leviticus 13 into a table format. When I read this difficult leprosy process within a table format, it suddenly became easier for me to understand. That's because it builds line upon line, as explained in the Understanding the Bible section. Shortly after that, the Lord God had it on my heart, to put all of The Books of the Bible in Smaller Chunks within a table format, to aid in understanding, line upon line.

Proverbs 14:1-35 Every Wise Woman Builds Up Her House

 

Every Wise Woman Builds Up Her House 

Proverbs 14:1-35                                      Proverbs [in Smaller Chunks]

Every wise woman [builds up] her house: but the foolish [pull] it down with her hands. He, [who walks righteously] fears [respects] the Lord: but he, [who is deceitful] in his ways, despises [the Lord.]

In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride: but the [mouth] of the wise shall [safeguard] them. [Proverbs 12:6 The words of the wicked are to lie in wait [in an ambush] for [bloodshed:] but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.] 

The [feeding trough] is clean where no oxen are: but [when there are many oxen,] [they only eat] by the strength of the ox. A faithful witness won’t lie: but a false witness will utter lies. [An unbeliever seeks] wisdom & doesn’t] find it: but knowledge is easy to him, [who] understands.

Go [away] from the presence of a foolish man when [you realize he doesn’t have the mouth] of knowledge. The wisdom of the [cautious] is to understand [the Lord God’s] way: but deceit is [because of the lack of good judgment] of fools.

Fools mock at sin: but there is favor among the righteous. The heart [knows its] own bitterness & a stranger [doesn’t interfere] with his joy. The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the [tent] of the [righteous] shall flourish.

There is a path that seems right to a man: but [but he needs to consider whether its] end, are the [paths that lead] to death. Even in laughter, the heart is sorrowful & the end of that [happiness is grief.] 

The heart [of those who have gone astray] shall be filled with his own [deceitful] ways & a good man shall be satisfied [with] himself. The simple [minded] believe every word [someone tells them:] but the [cautious] man [checks it out for himself.] 

A wise man fears [respects the Lord] & departs from evil: but the fool rages [on] & is [over] confident. He, [who is quickly] angry [acts] foolishly & a man [with] wicked [plans] is hated. 

The simple [minded] inherit [a lack of good judgment:] but the [cautious] are crowned with knowledge. The evil bow [down] before the good & the wicked [bow] at the gates of the righteous.

The poor [are] hated even [by] his own neighbor: but the rich have many friends. He, [who despises] his neighbor sins: but he, [who has] mercy on the poor, is happy. 

Don’t [those who plan] evil [go astray?] But mercy & truth shall be [for those who plan] good.There is profit in all labor: but [the idle chatter] of the lips [leads] only to [poverty.] 

The crown of the wise is their riches: but the [ignorance] of fools is [a lack of good judgment.] [An honest] witness delivers [lives:] but a deceitful witness speaks lies. 

His children [having] strong confidence in the fear [respect] of the Lord, shall have a place of refuge. The fear [respect] of the Lord, [leads to] a Fountain of Life, to depart from the snares of death. [Revelation 22:16-17 I, Jesus, have sent [My] Angel to testify to you these things in the churches.

I Am the Root & the Offspring of David & the Bright & Morning Star. And the Spirit & the bride say, Come. And let him, [who hears] say, Come. And let him, [who is thirsty,] come. And [whoever is willing,] let him take the Water of Life freely.]

The king’s honor, is in the multitude of people: but the destruction of the prince, is in the [lack] of people. He, [who] is slow to [anger] is of great understanding: but he, [who has a quick temper, demonstrates a lack of good judgment.] The life of the [body comes from] a sound heart: but envy [rots] the bones. 

He, [who] oppresses the poor, [disgusts] his Maker: but he [who honors the Lord] has mercy on the poor. The wicked [are] driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous [person] has [eternal] hope in his death.

[John 3:15-17 That [whoever] believes in Him, should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Begotten Son, that [whoever] believes in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God [didn’t send] His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.]

Wisdom rests in the [hearts of those with] understanding: but [what] is in the midst of fools, is made known. Righteousness exalts a nation: but sin is a [disgrace] to any people. The king’s favor is toward a wise servant: but his [anger] is against [those who] cause shame.
