- It is a snare to the man who devoureth that which is holy,
and after vows to make enquiry. - Every way of a man is right in his own eyes:
but the Lord pondereth the hearts. - To do justice and judgment
is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice. - He that followeth after righteousness and mercy
findeth life, righteousness, and honour. - He coveteth greedily all the day long:
but the righteous giveth and spareth not. - A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches,
and loving favour rather than silver and gold. - By humility and the fear of the Lord
are riches, and honour, and life. - Train up a child in the way he should go:
and when he is old, he will not depart from it. - The rich ruleth over the poor,
and the borrower is servant to the lender. - Labour not to be rich:
cease from thine own wisdom. - Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not?
for riches certainly make themselves wings;
they fly away as an eagle toward heaven. - My son, if thine heart be wise,
my heart shall rejoice, even mine. - The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice:
and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him. - So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul:
when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward,
and thy expectation shall not be cut off. - He that hath no rule over his own spirit
is like a city that is broken down, and without walls. - Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not;
neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity:
for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off. - A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself;
but the simple pass on, and are punished. - Iron sharpeneth iron;
so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. - As in water face answereth to face,
so the heart of man to man. - He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law,
even his prayer shall be abomination. - He that covereth his sins shall not prosper:
but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. - A fool uttereth all his mind:
but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards. - A man's pride shall bring him low:
but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit. - The fear of man bringeth a snare:
but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe. - Every word of God is pure:
he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
Bible verse of the day
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth:it shall not return unto me void,
but it shall accomplish that which I please,
and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
