- Diligent hands will rule,
but laziness ends in forced labor. - Anxiety weighs down the heart,
but a kind word cheers it up. - Those who guard their lips preserve their lives,
but those who speak rashly will come to ruin. - A person’s riches may ransom their life,
but the poor cannot respond to threatening rebukes. - Where there is strife, there is pride,
but wisdom is found in those who take advice. - Dishonest money dwindles away,
but whoever gathers money little by little makes it grow. - Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life. - Walk with the wise and become wise,
for a companion of fools suffers harm. - An honest witness does not deceive,
but a false witness pours out lies. - There is a way that appears to be right,
but in the end it leads to death. - All hard work brings a profit,
but mere talk leads only to poverty. - Whoever is patient has great understanding,
but one who is quick-tempered displays folly. - Righteousness exalts a nation,
but sin condemns any people. - A gentle answer turns away wrath,
but a harsh word stirs up anger. - The soothing tongue is a tree of life,
but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit. - A fool spurns a parent’s discipline,
but whoever heeds correction shows prudence. - Better a little with the fear of the Lord
than great wealth with turmoil. - Plans fail for lack of counsel,
but with many advisers they succeed. - A person finds joy in giving an apt reply—
and how good is a timely word! - Wisdom’s instruction is to fear the Lord,
and humility comes before honor. - Commit to the Lord whatever you do,
and he will establish your plans. - Better a little with righteousness
than much gain with injustice. - In their hearts humans plan their course,
but the Lord establishes their steps. - How much better to get wisdom than gold,
to get insight rather than silver! - Whoever gives heed to instruction prospers,
and blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord.
Gracious words are a honeycomb,
sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.Worship the Lord your God, and his blessing will be on your food and water. I will take away sickness from among you. Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.Next verse!With image
