- A cheerful heart is a good medicine,
but a downcast spirit dries up the bones. - While I kept silence, my body wasted away
through my groaning all day long. - Pleasant words are like a honeycomb,
sweetness to the soul and health to the body. - Just as you do not know how the breath comes to the bones in the mother's womb, so you do not know the work of God, who makes everything.
- Do not be wise in your own eyes;
fear the Lord, and turn away from evil.
It will be a healing for your flesh
and a refreshment for your body. - O God, you are my God, I seek you,
my soul thirsts for you;
my flesh faints for you,
as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. - And the rib that the Lord God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man. Then the man said,
“This at last is bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
this one shall be called Woman,
for out of Man this one was taken.”
Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother and clings to his wife, and they become one flesh. - God gives the desolate a home to live in;
he leads out the prisoners to prosperity,
but the rebellious live in a parched land.
Each of us must please our neighbor for the good purpose of building up the neighbor. Everyone then who hears these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on rock.Next verse!With image
