- A fool spurns a parent’s discipline,
but whoever heeds correction shows prudence. - Better a little with the fear of the Lord
than great wealth with turmoil. - Plans fail for lack of counsel,
but with many advisers they succeed. - A person finds joy in giving an apt reply—
and how good is a timely word! - Wisdom’s instruction is to fear the Lord,
and humility comes before honor. - Commit to the Lord whatever you do,
and he will establish your plans. - Better a little with righteousness
than much gain with injustice. - In their hearts humans plan their course,
but the Lord establishes their steps. - How much better to get wisdom than gold,
to get insight rather than silver! - Whoever gives heed to instruction prospers,
and blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord. - Gracious words are a honeycomb,
sweet to the soul and healing to the bones. - A perverse person stirs up conflict,
and a gossip separates close friends. - Better a patient person than a warrior,
one with self-control than one who takes a city. - Children’s children are a crown to the aged,
and parents are the pride of their children. - Eloquent lips are unsuited to a godless fool—
how much worse lying lips to a ruler! - Whoever would foster love covers over an offense,
but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends. - A friend loves at all times,
and a brother is born for a time of adversity. - A cheerful heart is good medicine,
but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. - Even fools are thought wise if they keep silent,
and discerning if they hold their tongues. - Fools find no pleasure in understanding
but delight in airing their own opinions. - The lips of fools bring them strife,
and their mouths invite a beating. - The words of a gossip are like choice morsels;
they go down to the inmost parts. - The name of the Lord is a fortified tower;
the righteous run to it and are safe. - The wealth of the rich is their fortified city;
they imagine it a wall too high to scale. - Before a downfall the heart is haughty,
but humility comes before honor.
A gift opens the way
and ushers the giver into the presence of the great.Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.Next verse!With image
