1 and after these things, naboth the jezrahelite, who was in jezrahel, had at that time a vineyard near the palace of achab king of samaria. 2 and achab spoke to naboth, saying: give me thy vineyard, that i may make me a garden of herbs, because it is nigh, and adjoining to my house, and i will give thee for it a better vineyard: or if thou think it more convenient for thee, i will give thee the worth of it in money. 3 naboth answered him: the lord be merciful to me, and not let me give thee the inheritance of my fathers. 4 and achab came into his house angry and fretting, because of the word that naboth the jezrahelite had spoken to him, saying: i will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. and casting himself upon his bed, he turned away his face to the wall, and would eat no bread. 5 and jezabel his wife went in to him, and said to him: what is the matter that thy soul is so grieved? and why eatest thou no bread? 6 and he answered her: i spoke to naboth the jezrahelite, and said to him: give me thy vineyard, and take money for it: or if it please thee, i will give thee a better vineyard for it. and he said: i will not give thee my vineyard. 7 then jezabel his wife said to him: thou art of great authority indeed, and governest well the kingdom of israel. arise, and eat bread, and be of good cheer, i will give thee the vineyard of naboth the jezrahelite. 8 so she wrote letter’s in achab’s name, and sealed them with his ring, and sent them to the ancients, and the chief men that were in his city, and that dwelt with naboth. 9 and this was the tenor of the letters: proclaim a fast, and make naboth sit among the chief of the people, 10 and suborn two men, sons of belial against him, and let them bear false witness: that he hath blasphemed god and the king: and then carry him out, and stone him, and so let him die. 11 and the men of his city, the ancients and nobles, that dwelt with him in the city, did as jezabel had commanded them, and as it was written in the letters which she had sent to them: 12 they proclaimed a fast, and made naboth sit among the chief of the people. 13 and bringing two men, sons of the devil, they made them sit against him: and they, like men of the devil, bore witness against him before the people, saying: naboth hath blasphemed god and the king: wherefore they brought him forth without the city, and stoned him to death. 14 and they sent to jezabel, saying: naboth is stoned, and is dead. 15 and it came to pass when jezabel heard that naboth was stoned, and dead, that she said to achab: arise and take possession of the vineyard of naboth the jezrahelite, who would not agree with thee, and give it thee for money: for naboth is not alive, but dead. 16 and when achab heard this, to wit, that naboth was dead, he arose, and went down to the vineyard of naboth the jezrahelite, to take possession of it. r.

1 this is what happened next: naboth of jezreel had a vineyard close by the palace of ahab king of samaria, 2 and ahab said to naboth, 'give me your vineyard to be my vegetable garden, since it adjoins my palace; i will give you a better vineyard for it or, if you prefer, i will give you its value in money.' 3 naboth, however, said to ahab, 'yahweh forbid that i should give you my ancestral heritage!' 4 ahab went home gloomy and out of temper at the words of naboth of jezreel, 'i will not give you my heritage from my ancestors.' he lay down on his bed and turned his face away and refused to eat. 5 his wife jezebel came to him. 'why are you so dispirited,' she said, 'that you refuse to eat?' 6 he said, 'i have been talking to naboth of jezreel. i said, "give me your vineyard either for money or, if you prefer, for another vineyard in exchange." but he said, "i will not give you my vineyard." ' 7 then his wife jezebel said, 'some king of israel you make! get up, eat and take heart; i myself shall get you the vineyard of naboth the jezreelite.' 8 so she wrote a letter in ahab's name and sealed it with his seal, sending the letter to the elders and notables of the city where naboth lived. 9 in the letter, she wrote, 'proclaim a fast, and put naboth in a prominent place among the people. 10 there confront him with a couple of scoundrels who will accuse him as follows, "you have cursed god and the king." then take him outside and stone him to death.' 11 the men of naboth's city, the elders and notables living in his city, did what jezebel ordered, as was written in the letter which she had sent him. 12 they proclaimed a fast and put naboth in a prominent place among the people. 13 the two scoundrels then came and confronted him, and the scoundrels then publicly accused naboth as follows, 'naboth has cursed god and the king.' he was then taken outside the city and stoned to death. 14 they then sent word to jezebel, 'naboth has been stoned to death.' 15 when jezebel heard that naboth had been stoned to death, she said to ahab, 'get up! take possession of the vineyard which naboth of jezreel refused to sell you, for naboth is no longer alive, he is dead.' 16 when ahab heard that naboth was dead, he got up to go down to the vineyard of naboth of jezreel and take possession of it. 2 listen to my cry for help, my king and my god! to you i pray, 3 yahweh. at daybreak you hear my voice; at daybreak i lay my case before you and fix my eyes on you. 5 boasters cannot stand their ground under your gaze. you hate evil doers, 6 liars you destroy; the violent and deceitful yahweh detests. 7 but, so great is your faithful love, i may come into your house, and before your holy temple bow down in reverence of you. 38 'you have heard how it was said: eye for eye and tooth for tooth. 39 but i say this to you: offer no resistance to the wicked. on the contrary, if anyone hits you on the right cheek, offer him the other as well; 40 if someone wishes to go to law with you to get your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. 41 and if anyone requires you to go one mile, go two miles with him. 42 give to anyone who asks you, and if anyone wants to borrow, do not turn away. copyright 2025 catholic online. all materials contained on this site, whether written, audible or visual are the exclusive property of catholic online and are protected under u.s. and international copyright laws, © copyright 2025 catholic online. any unauthorized use, without prior written consent of catholic online is strictly forbidden and prohibited. catholic online is a project of your catholic voice foundation, a not for profit corporation. your catholic voice foundation has been granted a recognition of tax exemption under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code. federal tax identification number: 81 0596847. your gift is tax deductible as allowed by law. stay up to date with the latest news, information, and special offers.

read all of proverbs 17 niv (read proverbs 17:10) a gentle reproof will enter, not only into the head, but into the heart of a wise man. "reading a daily bible verse helps you focus on god's word, offering spiritual guidance and encouragement for the day ahead." "set aside a few moments each morning or evening to read and reflect on a verse. you can also sign up for our daily verse email to make it a consistent habit." "you can include the verse in your prayer by thanking god for its message, asking him for guidance to apply it in your life, or meditating on how it speaks to your current circumstances." 8 a bribe is seen as a charm by the one who gives it; they think success will come at every turn. 9 whoever would foster love covers over an offense, but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends. 10 a rebuke impresses a discerning person more than a hundred lashes a fool. 11 evildoers foster rebellion against god; the messenger of death will be sent against them. 12 better to meet a bear robbed of her cubs than a fool bent on folly. read proverbs 17:10 in another translation the bible has been interpreted in various ways to ensure its message reaches people from different languages, cultures, and perspectives. these interpretations offer unique insights into the meaning of the scripture. pride only breeds quarrels, but wisdom is found in those who take advice. so i say, live by the spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. for the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the spirit, and the spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. they are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want. though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet i will rejoice in the lord, i will be joyful in god my savior. give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of god? do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of god. he mocks proud mockers but gives grace to the humble. "whoever believes in the son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the son will not see life, for god's wrath remains on him."

"this herb," she replied, "drives away sadness, that one banishes blindness, and i look for the herb of life that drives away death." hyvarnion, forgetting his homeward journey, in that hour loved her, and later he married her. after three years they had a son who was born blind, and in their sorrow they called him hervé, which means bitterness. when he was two years old, his father died, and the mother, rivanon, and child were left poor and friendless. in her grief she sang to him and he grew up to love poetry and music. when hervé was seven, rivanon gave him into the care of a holy man named arthian and she became a hermit. the child wandered about the countryside singing and begging, led by a white dog which he held on a string. to this day the bretons sing a ballad of the blind child, led by his dog, singing as he shivered in the wind and the rain, with no shoes on his bare feet, his teeth chattering with the cold. at age 14, with his mother's approval, he sought out an uncle who was a hermit and kept a monastic school in the forest at plouvien. his uncle welcomed him, and soon hervé excelled in knowledge beyond all his other pupils. on his uncle's death, he became abbot. every morning the children gathered to be taught by their blind master, and every evening they left "like a swarm of bees issuing from a hollow oak." he instructed them in music and poetry, and, above all, in the christian way of life. "when you wake up in bed," he said, "offer your hearts to the good god, make the sign of the cross and say with faith and hope and love, 'i give you my heart, my body and my soul. make me a good man.' when you see a crow fly, think of the devil, black and evil. when you see a dove fly, think of your angel, gentle and white. think of god, as the sun makes the wild roses bloom on the mountains. in the evening, before going to bed, say your prayers that a white angel may come from heaven and watch you till the dawn. this is the true way to live as christians. practice my song, and you will lead holy lives." in addition to teaching, hervé worked the fields near the school. he was venerated for his holiness and his miracles. the most extravagant of which relates that one day a wolf ate the donkey with which he was plowing the fields. the young child who was hervé’s guide cried out in fear, but at hervé’s prayers, the wolf put himself into the donkey's harness and finished the work to be done. later he decided to move the community to león. there the bishop wanted to ordain him priest, but hervé humbly declined. thus, although he was never a priest, hervé is said to have participated in the solemn anathematizing of the tyrannical ruler conomor, c. 550. from león the holy group travelled west. beside the road to lesneven is the fountain of saint hervé, which he is said to have caused to flow to satisfy the thirst of his companions. finally, they settled and hervé built a monastery at lanhouarneau in finistère, which earned a great reputation. from his monastery, where he lived for the rest of his life, hervé would travel forth periodically to preach or act as an exorcist. he was no longer led by a white dog, but by his little niece, kristine, who lived near him in a cottage of thatch and wattle built for her by the monks, and who, gay as a fairy, sang to him as she gathered flowers for the altar. when he came to die, he said to her: "tina, my dear, make my bed ready, but make it not as is wont. make it on the heard earth, before the altar, at the feet of jesus. place a stone for my bolster, and strew my bed with ashes." weeping, she carried out his wish, and said: "may i follow in due course, as the boat follows the ship." as his monks watched at his deathbed, they were said to have heard the music of the heavenly choirs welcoming him to heaven. so died the blind breton saint, who had taught in the school in the forest, and who all his life, despite his blindness, had given glory to god. until the french revolution, a chapel (now destroyed) near cleder in finistère possessed a most unusual relics: the cradle in which saint hervé had been rocked (attwater, benedictines, delaney, encyclopedia, gill, white). in art, saint herveus is a blind abbot telling frogs to be quiet or being led by a wolf (roeder) or his child guide. he is invoked against eye problems (delaney). breton mothers threatened their mischievous children with his wolf (white).  excerpted from saint of the day patronage: against eye disease; against eye problems; blind people; brest, france; plouvien, france. symbols and representation: blind man being led by a wolf highlights and things to do: st. avitus saint avitus was the child of a poor family of orleans, france. from his youth he desired to consecrate himself to god, and he received the monastic habit at the abbey of micy or saint maximin in the diocese of orleans, at that time still very small. its first superior, saint maximin, remarked the young monk's virtue when he observed that he deprived himself of a great portion of his food each day in order to nourish the poor. after serving as steward for the monastery, saint avitus decided to leave in secret to go and live in solitude in a deserted place. saint maximin recognized in this flight a secret design of god and made no attempt to have him return. but when the holy abbot died, saint avitus was chosen to succeed him by the unanimous consent of the religious. he was brought back despite his protestations of unworthiness, and was obliged to receive the episcopal consecration and his investiture from the bishop of orleans. he labored at his new duties with great assiduity, but saw with sorrow that the religious were becoming lax. he again thought of flight, considering himself the cause of the difficulties, and did indeed find a solitude in the diocese of chartres, far from all village life, where he lived several years on fruits growing wild in the forest. one day a poor mute herdsman lost a pig in the forest, and when a severe storm broke out, lost his way until he saw a light in the distance. when he approached, he found himself facing the saint. the latter not only lit his torch again for him and showed him the way to go, but made the sign of the cross on his mouth and restored to him the use of speech, which he had not had for long years. when this miracle was divulged, the hermit became known everywhere in the region, and the desert was soon transformed, as it were, into a city. the monastery which saint avitus built there and governed later bore his name. he left it from time to time to go to the city of orleans for his works of mercy; his prayers cured many sick and handicapped persons. when he failed to persuade the cruel king clodomir to liberate saint sigismond, king of burgundy, with his wife and children whom he had captured and held prisoner and was intending to put to death, saint avitus told him that if he committed that crime, he himself would perish miserably in the first battle he would undertake. this indeed is what occurred. saint avitus one day resurrected one of his brethren who had died during his absence; all the monks saw the dead religious rise from his coffin and begin to sing with the others the infinite mercies of our lord. saint lubin or leobin, bishop of chartres, assured his people in a sermon that he had learned of this fact from the very monk who had been resurrected. three famous religious, one of them the same saint leobin, who at that time was a simple monk, attended our saint at his blessed death, which happened about the year 530. his body was carried to the church of saint george in orleans and interred there with great pomp. afterwards king childebert built a magnificent temple over this tomb, out of gratitude for the prayers of saint avitus.  excerpted from les petits bollandistes: vies des saints, by msgr. paul guérin (bloud et barral: paris, 1882), vol. 7 patronage: orléans, france; perche; france highlights and things to do: st. albert chmielowski as a young revolutionary and artist in poland, adam chmielowski was not a young man whom people thought would someday be a saint. he was born in 1845 to wealthy parents and studied agriculture with plans of taking over his family's estate near krakow. in 1863 he took part in an uprising against czar alexander iiii and the russian army and lost a leg in the fighting when he was just 17. because of his actions against russia, he had to leave poland. young adam went to belgium, where he discovered he had some artistic ability. he also studied painting in paris and germany. chmielowski returned to poland when he was nearly 30 and soon became concerned with the suffering of the many homeless and impoverished poles. he worked in homeless shelters and eventually realized that it was this work, rather than politics or art, that called to him. in 1887 he joined religious life as brother albert of the third order of st. francis. he lived in the homeless shelters with those he served. within a year, brother albert had founded his own branch of the franciscans, the servants of the poor, who are sometimes called the albertine brothers. a few years later he helped found a women's congregation with the same intent of helping poland's poor. brother albert believed that the biggest problem of the world was that people did not open their eyes to the suffering of others and offer help. he believed that the divisions in society among the rich and the poor enabled that "blindness." he died on december 25, 1916, in a shelter he had opened in krakow. blessed pope john paul ii canonized him a saint of the church in 1989. as a young priest in krakow, blessed pope john paul ii wrote a play about brother albert, god's brother. he said he drew spiritual inspiration from brother albert's act of leaving behind an artistic career to give his life to god and others.  excerpted from saints resource patronage: painters, servants of the poor, sisters servants of the poor, franciscan tertiaries, soldiers highlights and things to do:

click scripture link to read online or here to listen online (then click the symbol of the audio speaker above the scripture portion). an hour drive north of the sea of galilee is caesarea philippi, also known as banias. here you can view the remnants of the temple of pan. it was here that jesus asked his disciples, “who do men say that i am?” peter’s answer to that question is today’s key verse. simon peter answered and said, “you are the christ, the son of the living god.” six verses later peter actually rebuked jesus. jesus tried again and again to tell his disciples that he would be killed and would rise again. for some reason he could not penetrate their preconceived beliefs in the christ who would overthrow the romans and establish israel as a sovereign state. so peter moved from thinking the thoughts of the father to thinking his own thoughts, receiving this response from jesus, “get behind me satan.” peter’s mind was the battleground in the war between the father, god, and the liar, satan. to which voice will you listen? how do you know which voice is truth? the answer is to know god’s thoughts as revealed in his word. this is the very reason this two year journey through god’s written word is so important! please, holy spirit, do for me as jesus promised. guide me “into all truth.” amen! in 1954, i rented a hall in a northern ontario village and began a sunday school for my public school students and others. people began to regard me as a minister. for example, a lady named may, about 70, showed up at my door and announced, “win is dead (her railroad engineer husband). i want you to take his funeral.” i said, “i’ll find a minister.” “no” she said, “he told me that you were the only one who prayed with him, and if you don’t do it, i’ll just stick him in the ground without a service.” i stood in front of the coffin in may’s little cottage and said something like this, “we don’t know why god would take win.” actually, win was 85 and had a heart condition. after the burial, back in my one room apartment, i confessed that i didn’t know god’s word well and i took my bible, opened it, and placed it on my head, saying to god, “with your teacher, the holy spirit, i will learn to think your thoughts, and i will then be able to speak with assurance.” then i went to bible college and set out on a lifetime commitment to know god’s thoughts. in the first month at the college i was required to memorize 50 scripture verses. i walked up and down the corridor outside my room hugging my bible. it became so precious to me. daily learning his thoughts, david p.s. our daughter, elaine stacey, has the very bible that i mentioned above. it was a gift to me for christmas 1952, less than a month after i had made my lifetime decision to follow christ. i remember that it was falling apart after constant use for years, and i bought a new one. some time later elaine asked for my old bible. against thee, lord, have i sinned. wash me, clean me in your precious blood. help me to live in your ways. thank you for your grace. in jesus’s name, amen “…you do not have in mind the concerns of god, but merely human concerns.”   “…the son of man is going to come in his father’s glory with his angels….” there is a dash on a headstone between the years that show a person’s life span.that dash represents every event in a person’s life between those years,the dash i inserted above represents ‘the huge difference’ between between peter’s thoughts and the thought level of jesus in those 2 lines.may god bless all connected to this vine/blog. thank you william and rob. i appreciate your thoughts and your prayers. so much to pray about these days. countries in conflict and the future concerns for the next generation pride day was celebrated most of last week in my area. we really need to know god’s word. blessings all. amen to thoughts and protesters. i find those parades disturbing and they really emphasize the need for prayers and for us to work harder for the lord, to get his message out. we all must vote the bible in all our elections from the local to federal levels. hi back and check how our current reps are voting. i know locally which person i want to vote for but when i checked his voting i am still searching where to cast my votes do your homework and god bless and may he guide our decisions wow just checked back and realized my auto correct changed my post a bit. hope most read what it was meant to say ….thoughts and prayers…. go back…. sorry for confusion your email address will not be published. required fields are marked * comment * name * email * website save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time i comment. this site uses akismet to reduce spam. learn how your comment data is processed.

1 and after these things, naboth the jezrahelite, who was in jezrahel, had at that time a vineyard near the palace of achab king of samaria. 2 and achab spoke to naboth, saying: give me thy vineyard, that i may make me a garden of herbs, because it is nigh, and adjoining to my house, and i will give thee for it a better vineyard: or if thou think it more convenient for thee, i will give thee the worth of it in money. 3 naboth answered him: the lord be merciful to me, and not let me give thee the inheritance of my fathers. 4 and achab came into his house angry and fretting, because of the word that naboth the jezrahelite had spoken to him, saying: i will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. and casting himself upon his bed, he turned away his face to the wall, and would eat no bread. 5 and jezabel his wife went in to him, and said to him: what is the matter that thy soul is so grieved? and why eatest thou no bread? 6 and he answered her: i spoke to naboth the jezrahelite, and said to him: give me thy vineyard, and take money for it: or if it please thee, i will give thee a better vineyard for it. and he said: i will not give thee my vineyard. 7 then jezabel his wife said to him: thou art of great authority indeed, and governest well the kingdom of israel. arise, and eat bread, and be of good cheer, i will give thee the vineyard of naboth the jezrahelite. 8 so she wrote letter’s in achab’s name, and sealed them with his ring, and sent them to the ancients, and the chief men that were in his city, and that dwelt with naboth. 9 and this was the tenor of the letters: proclaim a fast, and make naboth sit among the chief of the people, 10 and suborn two men, sons of belial against him, and let them bear false witness: that he hath blasphemed god and the king: and then carry him out, and stone him, and so let him die. 11 and the men of his city, the ancients and nobles, that dwelt with him in the city, did as jezabel had commanded them, and as it was written in the letters which she had sent to them: 12 they proclaimed a fast, and made naboth sit among the chief of the people. 13 and bringing two men, sons of the devil, they made them sit against him: and they, like men of the devil, bore witness against him before the people, saying: naboth hath blasphemed god and the king: wherefore they brought him forth without the city, and stoned him to death. 14 and they sent to jezabel, saying: naboth is stoned, and is dead. 15
