Matthew 13:34-35
[34]All these things Jesus spoke to the multitude in parables; and without a parable He did not speak to them,
[35]that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: “I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things kept secret from the foundation of the world.”

Psalms 34:22
[22]The Lord redeems the soul of His servants, And none of those who trust in Him shall be condemned.

Matthew 13:24-30,36-43
[24]Another parable He put forth to them, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field;
[25]but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way.
[26]But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared.
[27]So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’
[28]He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’
[29]But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them.
[30]Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.” ’

[36]Then Jesus sent the multitude away and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.”
[37]He answered and said to them: “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.
[38]The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one.
[39]The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels.
[40]Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age.
[41]The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness,
[42]and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
[43]Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!

Psalms 106:19-23
[19]They made a calf in Horeb, And worshiped the molded image.
[20]Thus they changed their glory Into the image of an ox that eats grass.
[21]They forgot God their Savior, Who had done great things in Egypt,
[22]Wondrous works in the land of Ham, Awesome things by the Red Sea.
[23]Therefore He said that He would destroy them, Had not Moses His chosen one stood before Him in the breach, To turn away His wrath, lest He destroy them.

Psalms 29:8
[8]The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness; The Lord shakes the Wilderness of Kadesh.

Psalms 117:1-2
[1]Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles! Laud Him, all you peoples!
[2]For His merciful kindness is great toward us, And the truth of the Lord endures forever. Praise the Lord!

NKJV Bible. Psalms 41:11
[11]By this I know that You are well pleased with me, Because my enemy does not triumph over me.

Matthew 13:53-58
[53]Now it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these parables, that He departed from there.
[54]When He had come to His own country, He taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished and said, “Where did this Man get this wisdom and these mighty works?
[55]Is this not the carpenter’s son? Is not His mother called Mary? And His brothers James, Joses, Simon, and Judas?
[56]And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this Man get all these things?”
[57]So they were offended at Him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own house.”
[58]Now He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

Psalms 34:15
[15]The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, And His ears are open to their cry.
