Chinese (traditional)- Gracious words are a honeycomb,
sweet to the soul and healing to the bones. - The Lord detests lying lips,
but he delights in people who are trustworthy. - My son, keep your father’s command
and do not forsake your mother’s teaching. - Every word of God is flawless;
he is a shield to those who take refuge in him. - Wealth is worthless in the day of wrath,
but righteousness delivers from death. - In their hearts humans plan their course,
but the Lord establishes their steps. - Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life. - For he guards the course of the just
and protects the way of his faithful ones. - Like a city whose walls are broken through
is a person who lacks self-control. - The soothing tongue is a tree of life,
but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit. - The words of a gossip are like choice morsels;
they go down to the inmost parts. - If anyone turns a deaf ear to my instruction,
even their prayers are detestable. - A fool spurns a parent’s discipline,
but whoever heeds correction shows prudence. - The name of the Lord is a fortified tower;
the righteous run to it and are safe. - Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge,
but whoever hates correction is stupid. - Ill-gotten treasures have no lasting value,
but righteousness delivers from death. - It is a trap to dedicate something rashly
and only later to consider one’s vows. - Fools find no pleasure in understanding
but delight in airing their own opinions. - A wise son brings joy to his father,
but a foolish son brings grief to his mother. - Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,
when it is in your power to act. - Houses and wealth are inherited from parents,
but a prudent wife is from the Lord. - Give careful thought to the paths for your feet
and be steadfast in all your ways. - Eloquent lips are unsuited to a godless fool—
how much worse lying lips to a ruler! - The prospect of the righteous is joy,
but the hopes of the wicked come to nothing. - Where there is strife, there is pride,
but wisdom is found in those who take advice.
Wash and make yourselves clean.
Take your evil deeds out of my sight;
stop doing wrong. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.Next verse!With image
