- Many plans are in a person’s heart,
But the advice of the Lord will stand. - The ransom of a person’s life is his wealth,
But the poor hears no rebuke. - A person’s gift makes room for him
And brings him before great people. - Anxiety in a person’s heart weighs it down,
But a good word makes it glad. - A person’s pride will bring him low,
But a humble spirit will obtain honor. - Every person’s way is right in his own eyes,
But the Lord examines the hearts. - A rich person’s wealth is his strong city,
And like a high wall in his own imagination. - For who among people knows the thoughts of a person except the spirit of the person that is in him? So also the thoughts of God no one knows, except the Spirit of God.
- If anyone thinks himself to be religious, yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this person’s religion is worthless.
- I have seen that every labor and every skill which is done is the result of rivalry between a person and his neighbor. This too is futility and striving after wind.
- A joyful heart is good medicine,
But a broken spirit dries up the bones. - The words of a gossiper are like dainty morsels,
And they go down into the innermost parts of the body. - And He was saying, “That which comes out of the person, that is what defiles the person. For from within, out of the hearts of people, come the evil thoughts, acts of sexual immorality, thefts, murders, acts of adultery, deeds of greed, wickedness, deceit, indecent behavior, envy, slander, pride, and foolishness. All these evil things come from within and defile the person.”
And He led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them. While He was blessing them, He parted from them and was carried up into heaven. Do not let kindness and truth leave you;
Bind them around your neck,
Write them on the tablet of your heart.
So you will find favor and a good reputation
In the sight of God and man.Next verse!With image
