- Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.
- He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life:
but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction. - The wise in heart will receive commandments:
but a prating fool shall fall. - But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
- A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly:
and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. - The way of the Lord is strength to the upright:
but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity. - The Lord preserveth the strangers;
he relieveth the fatherless and widow:
but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down. - Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
- An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour:
but through knowledge shall the just be delivered. - For if ye throughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye throughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour; If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt: Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever.
- Can a woman forget her sucking child,
that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb?
yea, they may forget,
yet will I not forget thee.
Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands;
thy walls are continually before me.
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us.Next verse!With image
