"“The stability of thy times and the strength of thy happiness shall be wisdom and knowledge” ( Isaiah 33:6 , Leeser's translation)—that wisdom and knowledge which God's word alone can impart. Ed 229.1"
"And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the Lord is his treasure."
Ellen White directly references Isaiah 33:6 in this passage.
"It is as true now as when the words were spoken to Israel of obedience to His commandments: “This is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations.” Deuteronomy 4:6 . Ed 229.2"
"Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people."
Ellen White directly references Deuteronomy 4:6 in this passage.
"Here is the only safeguard for individual integrity, for the purity of the home, the well-being of society, or the stability of the nation. Amidst all life's perplexities and dangers and conflicting claims the one safe and sure rule is to do what God says. “The statutes of the Lord are right,” and “he that doeth these things shall never be moved.” Psalm 19:8 ; 15:5 . Ed 229.3"
"The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes."
Ellen White directly references Psalms 19:8 in this passage.
"Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people."
Both passages connect obedience to God's law with stability and well-being, whether for an individual or a nation. While Proverbs 14:34 focuses on national righteousness, the underlying principle is similar.
"Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them."
Both passages link adherence to God's law with peace and security. While Psalm 119:165 speaks of 'great peace,' the EGW passage emphasizes 'safeguard' and doing what God says, reflecting a similar theme of security through obedience.
