Chinese (traditional)Wise words bring approval,
but fools are destroyed by their own words. Words from the mouth of the wise are gracious,
but fools are consumed by their own lips. The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious;
but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself. The words of a wise man's mouth win him favor,
but the lips of a fool consume him. The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious,
But the lips of a fool shall swallow him up. Words spoken by the wise bring them favor,
but the lips of fools consume them. The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious; but a fool is swallowed by his own lips. The words of a wise man win favor,
but a fool’s tongue is his undoing. From the depths of despair, O Lord,
I call for your help.
Hear my cry, O Lord.
Pay attention to my prayer. Don’t be concerned about the outward beauty of fancy hairstyles, expensive jewelry, or beautiful clothes. You should clothe yourselves instead with the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God.Next verse!With image
