- A soft answer turneth away wrath:
but grievous words stir up anger. - A friend loveth at all times,
and a brother is born for adversity. - A man's gift maketh room for him,
and bringeth him before great men. - By humility and the fear of the Lord
are riches, and honour, and life. - A fool's wrath is presently known:
but a prudent man covereth shame. - A faithful witness will not lie:
but a false witness will utter lies. - Only by pride cometh contention:
but with the well advised is wisdom. - Righteousness exalteth a nation:
but sin is a reproach to any people. - Commit thy works unto the Lord,
and thy thoughts shall be established. - He keepeth the paths of judgment,
and preserveth the way of his saints. - Turn not to the right hand nor to the left:
remove thy foot from evil. - For whoso findeth me findeth life,
and shall obtain favour of the Lord. - A froward man soweth strife:
and a whisperer separateth chief friends. - A fool's lips enter into contention,
and his mouth calleth for strokes. - Excellent speech becometh not a fool:
much less do lying lips a prince. - The memory of the just is blessed:
but the name of the wicked shall rot. - Keep thy heart with all diligence;
for out of it are the issues of life. - I have taught thee in the way of wisdom;
I have led thee in right paths. - Put away from thee a froward mouth,
and perverse lips put far from thee. - Iron sharpeneth iron;
so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. - The rich ruleth over the poor,
and the borrower is servant to the lender. - Better is a little with righteousness
than great revenues without right. - To do justice and judgment
is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice. - The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich,
and he addeth no sorrow with it. - The wise in heart will receive commandments:
but a prating fool shall fall.
The desire of a man is his kindness:
and a poor man is better than a liar.Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.Next verse!With image
