The psalm's own answer follows — satisfaction 'as with marrow and fatness' (Psalm 63:5) — and the canon's: blessed are those who hunger and thirst, for they shall be filled (Matthew 5:6); if anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink (John 7:37).

Joy is ranked, deliberately — the city of God filed above every other happiness, on pain of silence.

Shall not its tender roots and fruit rot, and all its early shoots be dried up?' (Ezekiel 17:9). Covenant-breaking withers from the shoot down. But the same parable ends with the LORD's own planting: a tender twig from the high cedar, set on the mountain height of Israel, under which every bird will dwell (Ezekiel 17:22-24) — the sprig the Gospels name a mustard seed become a tree (Matthew 13:32).

  • to sprout early

The watchman's charge in its second telling: 'if you forewarn the impious to turn from his way, and he does not turn, he shall die in his impiety — but you have rescued your own soul' (Ezekiel 33:8-9). The warner is not measured by the outcome but by the warning; blood is on the silent, not the unheeded. Paul closes his Ephesian ministry in exactly this idiom — 'I am innocent of the blood of all, for I did not shrink from declaring the whole counsel of God' (Acts 20:26-27, 31).

(pro-ek-FEH-ro)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to put forth first (πρό, before, + ἐκφέρω, to bring out; the slot sits beside προείδω by numbering only).

The scarlet certificate of primogeniture is overruled in the womb itself: grace keeps electing against the expected order (Genesis 25:23; Romans 9:10-12), and it is Perez the breach-maker, not thread-marked Zerah, who stands in Messiah's genealogy (Ruth 4:18; Matthew 1:3).
