Meekness

11 verses · KJV

Psalms

The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live forever.

The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.

But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.

Proverbs

He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.

A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.

He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.

Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than a house full of sacrifices with strife.

It is an honor for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.

Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath.

Isaiah

The meek also shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
