About
the better way of the faithful…
A
wise son heeds his father's instruction, but a mocker does not listen to rebuke.
† He who guards his lips guards his life, but he who speaks rashly will come
to ruin. † The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, turning a man from
the snares of death. † Good understanding wins favor, but the way of the
unfaithful is hard. † From the fruit of his lips a man enjoys good things, but
the unfaithful have a craving for violence. † Every prudent man acts out of
knowledge, but a fool exposes his folly. † Even in laughter the heart may
ache, and joy may end in grief. † The faithless will be fully repaid for their
ways, and the good man rewarded for his. † A simple man believes anything, but
a prudent man gives thought to his steps. † He who despises his neighbor sins,
but blessed is he who is kind to the needy. † Do not those who plot evil go
astray? But those who plan what is good find love and faithfulness. † All hard
work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty. † The Lord detests
all the proud of heart. Be sure of this: They will not go unpunished. †
Through love and faithfulness sin is atoned for; through the fear of the Lord a
man avoids evil. † When a man's ways are pleasing to the Lord, he makes even
his enemies live at peace with him. †
