- A wise son brings joy to his father,
but a foolish son brings grief to his mother. - Ill-gotten treasures have no lasting value,
but righteousness delivers from death. - Blessings crown the head of the righteous,
but violence overwhelms the mouth of the wicked. - The name of the righteous is used in blessings,
but the name of the wicked will rot. - The wise in heart accept commands,
but a chattering fool comes to ruin. - Whoever walks in integrity walks securely,
but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out. - Hatred stirs up conflict,
but love covers over all wrongs. - Whoever heeds discipline shows the way to life,
but whoever ignores correction leads others astray. - Whoever conceals hatred with lying lips
and spreads slander is a fool. - Sin is not ended by multiplying words,
but the prudent hold their tongues. - The tongue of the righteous is choice silver,
but the heart of the wicked is of little value. - The blessing of the Lord brings wealth,
without painful toil for it. - The prospect of the righteous is joy,
but the hopes of the wicked come to nothing. - The way of the Lord is a refuge for the blameless,
but it is the ruin of those who do evil. - The lips of the righteous know what finds favor,
but the mouth of the wicked only what is perverse.
Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven.Next verse!With image
