- Pleasing words are like a honeycomb,
sweet to the soul and affording health to the body. - A perverse man sows strife,
and a tale-bearer destroys close friendships. - It is better to be a patient man rather than a warrior,
one who controls his temper rather than one who captures a city. - Grandchildren are the crown of the aged,
and the glory of children is their parents. - Fine words are not becoming to a fool,
and much less are false words to a noble. - One who forgives a misdeed fosters friendship,
but he who divulges it separates good friends. - A true friend is one at all times,
and a brother is born to render help in time of need. - A cheerful heart is excellent medicine,
but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. - Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise;
if he closes his lips, he is regarded as intelligent. - A fool takes no pleasure in understanding
but only delights in expressing his own opinions. - The lips of a fool cause strife,
and his mouth provokes a flogging. - The whispers of a gossiper are tasty morsels
that corrode one’s inner being. - The name of the Lord is a tower of strength;
the upright man runs to it and finds refuge. - The wealth of a rich man is his stronghold;
he regards it as a high wall that cannot be scaled. - A man is haughty until disaster overtakes him,
but humility comes before honors. - A gift opens doors for the giver
and wins him access to the powerful. - The tongue has the power over life and death;
those who cherish it will enjoy its fruits. - One who finds a wife finds happiness
and receives favor from the Lord. - Some friends can lead us to ruin,
but a true friend is closer than a brother. - Whoever gains wisdom loves his own soul;
one who cherishes understanding will prosper. - A house and wealth are inherited from parents,
but a prudent wife is a gift from the Lord. - Whoever observes the commandments will live,
but the one who scorns them will die. - Many are the plans in a human mind,
but it is the purpose of the Lord that will prevail. - A man’s attraction is his kindness;
it is far better to be poor than to be a liar. - It is honorable to avoid strife,
but every fool is quarrelsome.
It is rash to pledge a sacred gift,
or to make a vow and then have second thoughts.You shall serve the Lord, your God. He will bless your bread and water and take away sickness from your midst. And let the peace of Christ reign in your hearts, because it was for this that you were called together in one body. Always be thankful.Next verse!With image
