Proverbs - ch 3 v 21 - 35
- My son! let them not turn from thine eyes, Keep thou wisdom and thoughtfulness,
- And they are life to thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
- Then thou goest thy way confidently, And thy foot doth not stumble.
- If thou liest down, thou art not afraid, Yea, thou hast lain down, And sweet hath been thy sleep.
- Be not afraid of sudden fear, And of the desolation of the wicked when it cometh.
- For Jehovah is at thy side, And He hath kept thy foot from capture.
- Withhold not good from its owners, When thy hand `is' toward God to do `it'.
- Say not thou to thy friend, `Go, and return, and to-morrow I give,' And substance with thee.
- Devise not against thy neighbour evil, And he sitting confidently with thee.
- Strive not with a man without cause, If he have not done thee evil.
- Be not envious of a man of violence, Nor fix thou on any of his ways.
- For an abomination to Jehovah `is' the perverted, And with the upright `is' His secret counsel.
- The curse of Jehovah `is' in the house of the wicked. And the habitation of the righteous He blesseth.
- If the scorners He doth scorn, Yet to the humble He doth give grace.
- Honour do the wise inherit, And fools are bearing away shame!
