Skim but my favorite verse is

OF JABEZ AND HIS PRAYER
And Jabez was more honourable than his brethren: and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with sorrow. And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested. 1 Chronicles 4:10
Jabez was from the line of Judah, despite such a harsh contrast of his lineage God gives him whatever he requested.

Yet say ye, Why? doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son hath done that which is lawful and right, and hath kept all my statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live. The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. Ezekiel 18:19

Hebrew Texts
Amos 8:7 Hebrew Study Bible (Apostolic / Interlinear)
נִשְׁבַּ֥ע יְהוָ֖ה בִּגְאֹ֣ון יַעֲקֹ֑ב אִם־ אֶשְׁכַּ֥ח לָנֶ֖צַח כָּל־ מַעֲשֵׂיהֶֽם׃

PRIDE of Jacob and his deeds is what is remembered by the Lord, this is negative. Kjv makes it seem pious.
KJV with Strong's
The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob Surely I will never forget any of their works


I find it beneficial to jump to the wisdom texts often enough. Ecclesiastes/Proverbs/Prophets, read New Testament when I notice linkage or quotations.
19A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.

20A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.

21Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

22Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.

23The poor useth intreaties; but the rich answereth roughly.

24A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. Proverbs 18:19-24

>Prevailing Hanafi jurisprudence, as applied in Afghanistan, prescribes the death penalty for the crime of apostasy.[3] A person charged with apostasy can avoid prosecution and/or punishment if he recants.[4]

Death for apostasy isn't beautiful. It's Old Testament. You're still living in the blood of the old covenant. No more sacrifices. No more blood. Jesus Christ gave it all for free already. He is the Truth. Accept the good news of the new testament covenant.
