- The hand of the diligent will rule,
But the lazy hand will be put to forced labor. - Anxiety in a person’s heart weighs it down,
But a good word makes it glad. - One who guards his mouth protects his life;
One who opens wide his lips comes to ruin. - The ransom of a person’s life is his wealth,
But the poor hears no rebuke. - Through overconfidence comes nothing but strife,
But wisdom is with those who receive counsel. - Wealth obtained from nothing dwindles,
But one who gathers by labor increases it. - Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
But desire fulfilled is a tree of life. - One who walks with wise people will be wise,
But a companion of fools will suffer harm. - A trustworthy witness will not lie,
But a false witness declares lies. - There is a way which seems right to a person,
But its end is the way of death. - In all labor there is profit,
But mere talk leads only to poverty. - One who is slow to anger has great understanding;
But one who is quick-tempered exalts foolishness. - Righteousness exalts a nation,
But sin is a disgrace to any people. - A gentle answer turns away wrath,
But a harsh word stirs up anger. - A soothing tongue is a tree of life,
But perversion in it crushes the spirit. - A fool rejects his father’s discipline,
But he who complies with rebuke is sensible. - Better is a little with the fear of the Lord
Than great treasure, and turmoil with the treasure. - Without consultation, plans are frustrated,
But with many counselors they succeed. - A person has joy in an apt answer,
And how delightful is a timely word! - The fear of the Lord is the instruction for wisdom,
And before honor comes humility. - Commit your works to the Lord,
And your plans will be established. - Better is a little with righteousness
Than great income with injustice. - The mind of a person plans his way,
But the Lord directs his steps. - How much better it is to get wisdom than gold!
And to get understanding is to be chosen above silver. - One who pays attention to the word will find good,
And blessed is one who trusts in the Lord.
Pleasant words are a honeycomb,
Sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.The one who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat with My Father on His throne. Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.Next verse!With image
