- Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not;
neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity:
for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off. - A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself;
but the simple pass on, and are punished. - Iron sharpeneth iron;
so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. - As in water face answereth to face,
so the heart of man to man. - He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law,
even his prayer shall be abomination. - He that covereth his sins shall not prosper:
but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. - A fool uttereth all his mind:
but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards. - A man's pride shall bring him low:
but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit. - The fear of man bringeth a snare:
but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe. - Every word of God is pure:
he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. - Remove far from me vanity and lies:
give me neither poverty nor riches;
feed me with food convenient for me.
Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him:
but the just shall live by his faith. O God, thou art my God;
early will I seek thee:
my soul thirsteth for thee,
my flesh longeth for thee
in a dry and thirsty land,
where no water is.Next verse!With image
