Laziness casts one into a deep sleep, and an idle person will suffer hunger. 16 He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul, but he who is careless of his ways will die. 17 He who has pity on the poor lends to the Lord, and He will pay back what he has given. 18 Chasten your son while there is hope, and do ….  Read More

Better is the poor who walks in his integrity than one who is perverse in his lips, and is a fool. 2 Also it is not good for a soul to be without knowledge, and he sins who hastens with his feet. 3 The foolishness of a man twists his way, and his heart frets against the Lord. 4 Wealth makes many friends, but the poor is separated from ….  Read More

He who answers a matter before he hears it, it is folly and shame to him. 14 The spirit of a man will sustain him in sickness, but who can bear a broken spirit? 15 The heart of the prudent acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge. 16 A man’s gift makes room for him, and brings him ….  Read More

“The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe” Proverbs chapter 18 verse 10. Proverbs chapter 18 verse 1-12 A man who isolates himself seeks his own desire; he rages against all wise judgment. 2 A fool has no delight in understanding, but in expressing his own heart. 3 When the wicked comes, contempt comes also; ….  Read More

Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, 2 that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God. 3 For we have spent enough of our past lifetime in doing ….  Read More

And who is he who will harm you if you become followers of what is good? 14 But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed. “And do not be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled.” 15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defence to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, ….  Read More

Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives, 2 when they observe your chaste conduct accompanied by fear. 3 Do not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel— 4 rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle ….  Read More

He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the just, both of them alike are an abomination to the Lord. 16 Why is there in the hand of a fool the purchase price of wisdom, since he has no heart for it? 17 A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. 18 A man devoid of understanding shakes hands in a pledge, ….  Read More

Better is a dry morsel with quietness, than a house full of feasting with strife. 2 A wise servant will rule over a son who causes shame, and will share an inheritance among the brothers. 3 The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, but the Lord tests the hearts. 4 An evildoer gives heed to false lips; a liar listens eagerly to a spiteful tongue. ….  Read More

How much better to get wisdom than gold! And to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver. 17 The highway of the upright is to depart from evil; he who keeps his way preserves his soul. 18 Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. 19 Better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil ….  Read More
