10 ways the Bible is described in Psalm 119

  1. Something hidden in a secret place 11 I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you. 12 Praise be to you, LORD; teach me your decrees.
  2. Something containing wonderful things 18 Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law.
  3. A life saver 25 I am laid low in the dust; preserve my life according to your word. (See also 37 40, 50, 93)
  4. A path or way 27-35 27 Cause me to understand the way of your precepts, that I may meditate on your wonderful deeds. … 29 Keep me from deceitful ways; be gracious to me and teach me your law. 30 I have chosen the way of faithfulness; I have set my heart on your laws. 32 I run in the path of your commands, for you have broadened my understanding. 33 Teach me, LORD, the way of your decrees, that I may follow it to the end. ... 35 Direct me in the path of your commands, for there I find delight.
  5. A strength provider 28 My soul is weary with sorrow; strengthen me according to your word.
  6. A shepherd 67 Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I obey your word. 176 I have strayed like a lost sheep. Seek your servant, for I have not forgotten your commands.
  7. A star 89 Your word, LORD, is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens.
  8. Silver and gold 72 The law from your mouth is more precious to me than thousands of pieces of silver and gold. (See also 127)
  9. Honey 103 How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
  10. Light 105 Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path. (See also 130)

21 and more nations and kings who must drink the cup of God's wrath Jeremiah 25:15-29


15-17 This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, said to me: “Take from my hand this cup filled with the wine of my wrath and make all the nations to whom I send you drink it. When they drink it, they will stagger and go mad because of the sword I will send among them.” So I took the cup from the Lord’s hand and made all the nations to whom he sent me drink it:

18 Jerusalem and the towns of Judah, its kings and officials, to make them a ruin and an object of horror and scorn, a curse - as they are today;
19 Pharaoh king of Egypt, his attendants, his officials and all his people, 20 and all the foreign people there;
all the kings of Uz;
all the kings of the Philistines (those of Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and the people left at Ashdod);
21 Edom,
Moab
and Ammon;
22 all the kings of Tyre
and Sidon;
the kings of the coastlands across the sea;
23 Dedan,
Tema,
Buz
and all who are in distant places;
24 all the kings of Arabia
and all the kings of the foreign people who live in the wilderness;
25 all the kings of Zimri,
Elam
and Media;
26 and all the kings of the north, near and far, one after the other - all the kingdoms on the face of the earth.
And after all of them, the king of Sheshak (Babylon) will drink it too.

27 “Then tell them, ‘This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Drink, get drunk and vomit, and fall to rise no more because of the sword I will send among you.’ 28 But if they refuse to take the cup from your hand and drink, tell them, ‘This is what the Lord Almighty says: You must drink it! 29 See, I am beginning to bring disaster on the city that bears my Name, and will you indeed go unpunished? You will not go unpunished, for I am calling down a sword on all who live on the earth, declares the Lord Almighty.’
