- Repent, and turn from all your transgressions, so that iniquity will not be your ruin.
- He who guards his mouth preserves his life,
But he who opens wide his lips shall have destruction. - But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition.
- The wise in heart will receive commands,
But a prating fool will fall. - A man who has friends must himself be friendly,
But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. - The Lord watches over the strangers;
He relieves the fatherless and widow;
But the way of the wicked He turns upside down. - The way of the Lord is strength for the upright,
But destruction will come to the workers of iniquity. - Do not be deceived: “Evil company corrupts good habits.”
- The hypocrite with his mouth destroys his neighbor,
But through knowledge the righteous will be delivered. - Can a woman forget her nursing child,
And not have compassion on the son of her womb?
Surely they may forget,
Yet I will not forget you.
See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands;
Your walls are continually before Me.
Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. All things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.Next verse!With image
