- It is a trap to dedicate something rashly
and only later to consider one’s vows. - A person may think their own ways are right,
but the Lord weighs the heart. - To do what is right and just
is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice. - Whoever pursues righteousness and love
finds life, prosperity and honor. - All day long he craves for more,
but the righteous give without sparing. - A good name is more desirable than great riches;
to be esteemed is better than silver or gold. - Humility is the fear of the Lord;
its wages are riches and honor and life. - Start children off on the way they should go,
and even when they are old they will not turn from it. - The rich rule over the poor,
and the borrower is slave to the lender. - Do not wear yourself out to get rich;
do not trust your own cleverness. - Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone,
for they will surely sprout wings
and fly off to the sky like an eagle. - My son, if your heart is wise,
then my heart will be glad indeed. - The father of a righteous child has great joy;
a man who fathers a wise son rejoices in him. - Know also that wisdom is like honey for you:
If you find it, there is a future hope for you,
and your hope will not be cut off. - Like a city whose walls are broken through
is a person who lacks self-control. - Do not forsake your friend or a friend of your family,
and do not go to your relative’s house when disaster strikes you—
better a neighbor nearby than a relative far away. - The prudent see danger and take refuge,
but the simple keep going and pay the penalty. - As iron sharpens iron,
so one person sharpens another. - As water reflects the face,
so one’s life reflects the heart. - If anyone turns a deaf ear to my instruction,
even their prayers are detestable. - Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper,
but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy. - Fools give full vent to their rage,
but the wise bring calm in the end. - Pride brings a person low,
but the lowly in spirit gain honor. - Fear of man will prove to be a snare,
but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe. - Every word of God is flawless;
he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.
Bible verse of the day
So is my word that goes out from my mouth:It will not return to me empty,
but will accomplish what I desire
and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
