A fool spurns a parent’s discipline, but whoever heeds correction shows prudence. | A fool despiseth his father's instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent. |
Eloquent lips are unsuited to a godless fool— how much worse lying lips to a ruler! | Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince. |
Who is wise? Let them realize these things. Who is discerning? Let them understand. The ways of the Lord are right; the righteous walk in them, but the rebellious stumble in them. | Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the Lord are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein. |
Bible verse of the day
“Look, he is coming with the clouds,”and “every eye will see him,
even those who pierced him”;
and all peoples on earth “will mourn because of him.”
So shall it be! Amen.
