and he will show you which path to take. - Haughtiness goes before destruction;
humility precedes honor. - That is why the Lord says,
“Turn to me now, while there is time.
Give me your hearts.

its jealousy as enduring as the grave.

Write them deep within your heart.

and you will earn a good reputation. - I tell you the truth, you can say to this mountain, ‘May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and it will happen. But you must really believe it will happen and have no doubt in your heart.

and make you wise. - “Listen to me and make up your minds to honor my name,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, “or I will bring a terrible curse against you. I will curse even the blessings you receive. Indeed, I have already cursed them, because you have not taken my warning to heart.”
- But the Lord said to Samuel, “Don’t judge by his appearance or height, for I have rejected him. The Lord doesn’t see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name. - Think about it: Just as a parent disciplines a child, the Lord your God disciplines you for your own good.

I will sing to the Lord
because he is good to me. - Then Peter said, “Ananias, why have you let Satan fill your heart? You lied to the Holy Spirit, and you kept some of the money for yourself.

you became proud and forgot me.
