- Repent and turn from all your transgressions; otherwise iniquity will be your ruin.
- Those who guard their mouths preserve their lives;
those who open wide their lips come to ruin. - The wise of heart will heed commandments,
but a babbling fool will come to ruin. - But those who want to be rich fall into temptation and are trapped by many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction.
- The Lord watches over the strangers;
he upholds the orphan and the widow,
but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin. - Some friends play at friendship
but a true friend sticks closer than one's nearest kin. - Do not be deceived:
“Bad company ruins good morals.” - The way of the Lord is a stronghold for the upright,
but destruction for evildoers. - With their mouths the godless would destroy their neighbors,
but by knowledge the righteous are delivered. - Can a woman forget her nursing child,
or show no compassion for the child of her womb?
Even these 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.
Who is this King of glory?
The Lord of hosts,
he is the King of glory. Selah It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.Next verse!With image
