- He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life:
but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction. - The ransom of a man's life are his riches:
but the poor heareth not rebuke. - Only by pride cometh contention:
but with the well advised is wisdom. - Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished:
but he that gathereth by labour shall increase. - Hope deferred maketh the heart sick:
but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life. - He that walketh with wise men shall be wise:
but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.
He coveteth greedily all the day long:
but the righteous giveth and spareth not. Search me, O God, and know my heart:
try me, and know my thoughts:
And see if there be any wicked way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.Next verse!With image
