- Pleasant words are as an honeycomb,
sweet to the soul, and health to the bones. - A froward man soweth strife:
and a whisperer separateth chief friends. - He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty;
and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city. - Children's children are the crown of old men;
and the glory of children are their fathers. - Excellent speech becometh not a fool:
much less do lying lips a prince. - He that covereth a transgression seeketh love;
but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends. - A friend loveth at all times,
and a brother is born for adversity. - A merry heart doeth good like a medicine:
but a broken spirit drieth the bones. - Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise:
and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding. - A fool hath no delight in understanding,
but that his heart may discover itself. - A fool's lips enter into contention,
and his mouth calleth for strokes. - The words of a talebearer are as wounds,
and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly. - The name of the Lord is a strong tower:
the righteous runneth into it, and is safe. - The rich man's wealth is his strong city,
and as an high wall in his own conceit. - Before destruction the heart of man is haughty,
and before honour is humility. - A man's gift maketh room for him,
and bringeth him before great men. - Death and life are in the power of the tongue:
and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. - Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing,
and obtaineth favour of the Lord. - A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly:
and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. - He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul:
he that keepeth understanding shall find good. - House and riches are the inheritance of fathers:
and a prudent wife is from the Lord. - He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul;
but he that despiseth his ways shall die. - There are many devices in a man's heart;
nevertheless the counsel of the Lord, that shall stand. - The desire of a man is his kindness:
and a poor man is better than a liar. - It is an honour for a man to cease from strife:
but every fool will be meddling.
It is a snare to the man who devoureth that which is holy,
and after vows to make enquiry.And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee. He that covereth his sins shall not prosper:
but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.Next verse!With image
