and only later to consider one’s vows. - A person may think their own ways are right,
but the Lord weighs the heart. - To do what is right and just
is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice. - Whoever pursues righteousness and love
finds life, prosperity and honor. - All day long he craves for more,
but the righteous give without sparing. - A good name is more desirable than great riches;

and fly off to the sky like an eagle. - My son, if your heart is wise,
then my heart will be glad indeed. - The father of a righteous child has great joy;
a man who fathers a wise son rejoices in him. - Know also that wisdom is like honey for you:
If you find it, there is a future hope for you,
and your hope will not be cut off. - Like a city whose walls are broken through
is a person who lacks self-control. - Do not forsake your friend or a friend of your family,
and do not go to your relative’s house when disaster strikes you—
better a neighbor nearby than a relative far away. - The prudent see danger and take refuge,
but the simple keep going and pay the penalty. - As iron sharpens iron,
so one person sharpens another. - As water reflects the face,
so one’s life reflects the heart. - If anyone turns a deaf ear to my instruction,
even their prayers are detestable.
For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. Do not deceive yourselves. If any of you think you are wise by the standards of this age, you should become “fools” so that you may become wise.Next verse!With image
