| I cried out, “I am slipping!” but your unfailing love, O Lord, supported me. | When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O Lord, held me up. |
| Don’t get sidetracked; keep your feet from following evil. | Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil. |
|
| He will not let you stumble; the one who watches over you will not slumber. | He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. |
| But he knows where I am going. And when he tests me, I will come out as pure as gold. For I have stayed on God’s paths; I have followed his ways and not turned aside. | But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined. |
| But I say, do not make any vows! Do not say, ‘By heaven!’ because heaven is God’s throne. And do not say, ‘By the earth!’ because the earth is his footstool. And do not say, ‘By Jerusalem!’ for Jerusalem is the city of the great King. | But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. |
| Once again you will have compassion on us. You will trample our sins under your feet and throw them into the depths of the ocean! | He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea. |
| Guide my steps by your word, so I will not be overcome by evil. | Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me. |
| And “don’t sin by letting anger control you.” Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry, for anger gives a foothold to the devil. | Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Neither give place to the devil. |
| Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. May your gracious Spirit lead me forward on a firm footing. | Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness. |
| You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it salty again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless. | Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. |
| Keep the Sabbath day holy. Don’t pursue your own interests on that day, but enjoy the Sabbath and speak of it with delight as the Lord’s holy day. Honor the Sabbath in everything you do on that day, and don’t follow your own desires or talk idly. Then the Lord will be your delight. I will give you great honor and satisfy you with the inheritance I promised to your ancestor Jacob. I, the Lord, have spoken! | If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: Then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it. |
| For God called you to do good, even if it means suffering, just as Christ suffered for you. He is your example, and you must follow in his steps. | For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps. |
| People with understanding control their anger; a hot temper shows great foolishness. | He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly. |
| Give us today the food we need. | Give us this day our daily bread. |
| A wise child brings joy to a father; a foolish child brings grief to a mother. | A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother. |
| Fools vent their anger, but the wise quietly hold it back. | A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards. |
| But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. | But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. |
| Avoiding a fight is a mark of honor; only fools insist on quarreling. | It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling. |
| Don’t be fooled by those who say such things, for “bad company corrupts good character.” | Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. |
| Wise words bring approval, but fools are destroyed by their own words. | The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself. |
| Fools’ words get them into constant quarrels; they are asking for a beating. | A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes. |
| Walk with the wise and become wise; associate with fools and get in trouble. | He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed. |
| If you claim to be religious but don’t control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is worthless. | If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. |
| The wise are glad to be instructed, but babbling fools fall flat on their faces. | The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall. |
| Fools have no interest in understanding; they only want to air their own opinions. | A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself. |
