- Honour the Lord with thy substance,
and with the firstfruits of all thine increase. - The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom;
and before honour is humility. - The rich man's wealth is his strong city,
and as an high wall in his own conceit. - A wise son maketh a glad father:
but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother. - Lying lips are abomination to the Lord:
but they that deal truly are his delight. - The name of the Lord is a strong tower:
the righteous runneth into it, and is safe. - The hand of the diligent shall bear rule:
but the slothful shall be under tribute. - A fool despiseth his father's instruction:
but he that regardeth reproof is prudent. - The tongue of the just is as choice silver:
the heart of the wicked is little worth. - Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment,
and equity; yea, every good path. - Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all
such as are appointed to destruction. - Hope deferred maketh the heart sick:
but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life. - House and riches are the inheritance of fathers:
and a prudent wife is from the Lord. - Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not;
neither decline from the words of my mouth. - Blessings are upon the head of the just:
but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked. - Better is little with the fear of the Lord
than great treasure and trouble therewith. - He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction:
but he that refuseth reproof erreth. - The liberal soul shall be made fat:
and he that watereth shall be watered also himself. - He that followeth after righteousness and mercy
findeth life, righteousness, and honour. - Train up a child in the way he should go:
and when he is old, he will not depart from it. - He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous:
he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly. - He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law,
even his prayer shall be abomination. - He that walketh uprightly walketh surely:
but he that perverteth his ways shall be known. - A wholesome tongue is a tree of life:
but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit. - In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin:
but he that refraineth his lips is wise.
Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.Next verse!With image
