- A fool has no delight in understanding,
But in expressing his own heart. - A fool’s lips enter into contention,
And his mouth calls for blows. - The words of a talebearer are like tasty trifles,
And they go down into the inmost body. - The name of the Lord is a strong tower;
The righteous run to it and are safe. - The rich man’s wealth is his strong city,
And like a high wall in his own esteem. - Before destruction the heart of a man is haughty,
And before honor is humility. - A man’s gift makes room for him,
And brings him before great men. - Death and life are in the power of the tongue,
And those who love it will eat its fruit. - He who finds a wife finds a good thing,
And obtains favor from the Lord. - A man who has friends must himself be friendly,
But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
Out of the depths I have cried to You, O Lord;
Lord, hear my voice!
Let Your ears be attentive
To the voice of my supplications. For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.Next verse!With image
