ith desolation is all the land made desolate; because there is none that considereth in the heart. (Jer. xii. 11.)

Let not the book of this law depart from thy mouth: but thou shalt meditate on it day and night, that thou mayest observe and do all things that are written in it: then shalt thou direct thy way, and understand it. (Josue i, 8.)

Blessed is the man that shall continue in wisdom, and that shall meditate in his justice, and in his mind shall think of the all-seeing eye of God. (Ecclus. xiv. 22.)

Blessed is the man who hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the chair of pestilence. But his will is in the law of the Lord, and on His law he shall meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree which is planted near the running waters, which shall bring forth its fruit, in due season. And his leaf shall not fall off: and all whatsoever he shall do shall prosper. (Ps. i. 1-4.)

In all thy works remember thy last end, and thou shalt never sin. (Ecclus. vii. 40.)
