Leviticus 26:3 (LEB)
“ ‘If you walk in my statutes and you keep my commands and you do them,
So you must keep the commandments of Yahweh your God by walking in his ways and by fearing him.
Yes, if you diligently keep all this commandment that I am commanding you to observe it, by loving Yahweh your God by walking in all his ways and by holding fast to him,
Yahweh will establish you for himself as a holy people as he has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of Yahweh your God and you walk in his ways.
Only be very careful to observe the commandment and law that Moses Yahweh’s servant commanded you, to love Yahweh your God, to walk in all his ways, to keep his commandments, to hold fast to him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.”
in order to test Israel whether or not they would observe the way of Yahweh, to walk in it just as their ancestors did.”

Let your heart be completely with Yahweh our God by walking in his statutes, by keeping his commands as this day.”
because he has forsaken me, and they bowed down to Ashtoreth, the god of the Sidonians, to Chemosh, the god of Moab, and to Milcom, the god of the Ammonites. They did not walk in my ways to do right in my eyes, my ordinances, or my judgments, as did David his father.
It shall be that if you listen to all that I command you and you walk in my ways and you do right in my eyes by keeping my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did, then I will be with you, and I will build an enduring house for you as I built for David, and I will give Israel to you.
He walked in all the sins of his father that he had done before him, and his heart was not fully with Yahweh his God as the heart of David his father.

But Jehu was not careful to walk in the law of Yahweh God of Israel with all his heart; he did not turn from the sins of Jeroboam by which he caused Israel to sin.
Yet they did not depart from the sins of the house of Jeroboam which he caused Israel to sin, but walked in it; and also, the pole of the Asherah worship was still standing in Samaria.
He did evil in the eyes of Yahweh; he did not depart from all of the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat which he caused Israel to sin, but walked in it.
He walked in the way of the kings of Israel; he even let his son pass through the fire according to the detestable things of the nations which Yahweh drove out from before the Israelites.
They walked in the statutes of the nations whom Yahweh had driven out from before the Israelites, which the kings of Israel had introduced.
Even Judah did not keep the commands of Yahweh their God, and they walked in the customs of Israel which they introduced,
The Israelites walked in all the sins of Jeroboam that he committed, and they did not depart from it,

And a letter from Elijah the prophet came to him, saying, “Thus says Yahweh, the God of David your father: ‘Because you have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat your father or in the ways of Asa, the king of Judah,
but have walked in the way of the kings of Israel and have enticed Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to be unfaithful like the unfaithfulness of the house of Ahab, and have also murdered your brothers of the house of your father who were better than you,
He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother was his counselor for doing wickedness.
He also walked in their counsel and went with Jehoram the son of Ahab, king of Israel, to war against Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth-Gilead. And the Arameans wounded Joram.
But he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel and also made molten idols for the Baals.

Blessed is the man who does not walk in the advice of the wicked;
nor does he stand in the way of sinners;
nor does he sit in the assembly of mockers.
Even when I walk in a dark valley, I fear no evil
because you are with me.

because you are the God of my salvation.
I await you all day long.
He causes the humble to walk in justice,
and teaches the humble his way.

and I have trusted Yahweh and not wavered.
But as for me, I will walk in my integrity.
Redeem me and be gracious to me.
So I let them go in the stubbornness of their heart;
they walked in their counsels.
Oh that my people would listen to me;
that Israel would walk in my ways.
Teach me, O Yahweh, your way,
that I may walk in your truth.
Unite my heart to fear your name.
If his sons forsake my law
and do not walk in my judgments,
I will give attention to the way of integrity.
When will you come to me?
I will walk in the integrity of my heart
in the midst of my house.
My eyes will be on the faithful of the land,
that they may live with me.
He who walks in the way of integrity,
he shall minister to me.
Blessed are those whose way is blameless,
who walk in the law of Yahweh.
They also do no wrong;
they walk in his ways.
Cause me to walk in the path of your commands,
for I delight in it.

who walks in his ways.
Though I walk in the midst of trouble,
you preserve me alive.

and you save me with your right hand.
My child, do not walk in their way.
Keep your foot from their paths,
those who forsake the paths of uprightness
to walk in ways of darkness,
Then you will walk in the confidence of your ways,
and your foot will not stumble.
In the path of the wicked do not go;
do not walk in the way of those who do evil.
In the way of righteousness I walk,
in the midst of paths of justice,
Lay aside simplicity and live;
walk in the way of understanding.”
Whoever walks in integrity will walk securely,
but whoever follows perversity, his ways will be made known.
He who walks in uprightness fears Yahweh,
but he who is devious in his ways displeases him.
Better a poor person walking in integrity
than one who is perverse in his speech and is a fool.
He who walks in his integrity is righteous;
happy are his children who follow him.
Better to be poor and walking in one’s integrity
than to be crooked of ways when one is rich.
He who walks in integrity will be safe,
but he who takes crooked paths will fall in one.
He who trusts in his own heart is a fool,
but he who walks in wisdom will be saved.
The wise man can see where he is walking, but the fool walks in darkness. Yet I also realized that both of them suffer the same fate.
many peoples shall come.
And they shall say,
“Come, let us go up to the mountain of Yahweh,

and the word of Yahweh from Jerusalem.

And your ears shall hear a word from behind you, saying,
“this is the way; walk in it,”
when you go to your right

who refuses a bribe,
who stops up his ears from hearing bloodshed
and shuts his eyes from seeing evil.
Thus says the God, Yahweh,
who created the heavens
and stretched them out,
who spread out the earth and its offspring,
who gives breath to the people upon it
and spirit to those who walk in it.
Who gave Jacob to a plunderer
and Israel to those who plunder?
Was it not Yahweh, against whom we have sinned?
And they were not willing to walk in his ways,
and they would not obey his law.
Who among you is in fear of Yahweh,
obeys the voice of his servant?
Who walks in darkness
and has no light,
trusts in the name of Yahweh
and depends on his God?
Look! All of you are kindlers of fire,
who gird yourselves with flaming arrows.
Walk in the light of your fire,
and among the flaming arrows you have kindled!

They do not know the way of peace,
and there is no justice in their firm paths.

But they did not obey and they did not incline their ear. Instead each one walked in the stubbornness of his evil heart. Therefore, I brought on them all the words of this covenant which I commanded them to do, and they did not do it.’ ”
And in the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen something horrible.
They commit adultery, and they walk in lies,
and they make strong the hands of evildoers,
so that they have not turned back each from his wickedness.
All of them have become to me like Sodom,
and its inhabitants like Gomorrah.”
They are continually saying to those who disregard the word of Yahweh,
‘Peace it will be to you,’
and to each one who walks in the stubbornness of his heart they say,
‘Calamity will not come upon you.’
And you shall say to them, “Thus says Yahweh: ‘If you will not listen to me, to walk in my law that I have set before you,
They have not shown contrition up to this day, and they have not shown reverence, and they have not walked in my law and in my statutes that I set before you and before your ancestors.’

Therefore, thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because of your commotion more than the nations that are around you—you did not walk in my statutes, and you did not do my regulations, and according to the regulations of the nations that are around you, you did not do.
so that they may walk in my statutes, and they will keep my regulations, and they will do them, and they will be to me a people, and I myself will be to them as God.
“But in the desert the house of Israel rebelled against me; they did not walk in my statutes, and they rejected my regulations, which, if a person does them, he will live by them, and they greatly profaned my Sabbaths, and I decided to pour out my rage on them in the desert to destroy them,
because they despised my judgments, and they did not walk in my statutes, and my Sabbaths they profaned, for their heart was going after their idols.
But the children rebelled against me; they did not walk in my statutes, and they did not observe my regulations, which if a person does them, then he will live by them. My Sabbaths they desecrated, and I decided to pour out my rage on them, to finish my anger against them in the desert.

and I placed you on God’s holy mountain;

and the righteous walk in them;
but transgressors stumble in them.
And many nations will come and say,
“Come! Let us go up to the mountain of Yahweh,

and the word of Yahweh from Jerusalem.

each in the name of its god,
but we will walk in the name of Yahweh our God,
forever and ever.

and your inhabitants an object of scorn.
So you will bear the scorn of my people.

Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world! The one who follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
and Jesus was walking in the temple in the Portico of Solomon.
So Jesus said to them, “Yet a little time the light is with you! Walk while you have the light, so that the darkness does not overtake you! And the one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.

I have no greater joy than this: that I hear my children are walking in the truth.
