3:1-8
1 My son, do not forget my teaching,\u00a0
but keep my commands in your heart,\u00a0
2\u00a0for they will prolong your life many years\u00a0
and bring you peace and prosperity.\u00a0
3\u00a0Let love and faithfulness never leave you;\u00a0
bind them around your neck,\u00a0
write them on the tablet of your heart.\u00a0
4\u00a0Then you will win favor and a good name\u00a0
in the sight of God and man.\u00a0
5\u00a0Trust in the Lord with all your heart\u00a0
and lean not on your own understanding;\u00a0
6\u00a0in all your ways submit to him,\u00a0
and he will make your paths straight.
7\u00a0Do not be wise in your own eyes;
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0fear the\u00a0Lord\u00a0and shun evil.
8\u00a0This will bring health to your body
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0and nourishment to your bones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
10:25 When the storm has swept by, the wicked are gone,
but the righteous stand firm forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
24:16 for though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again,
but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
20:5 The purposes of a person\u2019s heart are deep waters,
but one who has insight draws them out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
15:4 The soothing tongue is a tree of life,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
16:24 Gracious words are a honeycomb,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
15:30 Light in a messenger\u2019s eyes brings joy to the heart,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0and good news gives health to the bones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
12:4 A wife of noble character is her husband\u2019s crown,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
14:30\u00a0A heart at peace gives life to the body,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0but envy rots the bones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
18:14 The human spirit can endure in sickness,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0but a crushed spirit who can bear?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
15:13 A happy heart makes the face cheerful,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0but heartache crushes the spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
17:22 A cheerful heart is good medicine,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
12:25 Anxiety weighs down the heart,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0but a kind word cheers it up.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
14:13 Even in laughter the heart may ache,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0and rejoicing may end in grief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
14:10 Each heart knows its own bitterness,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0and no one else can share its joy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
25:20 Like one who takes away a garment on a cold day,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0or like vinegar poured on a wound,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
28:17 Anyone tormented by the guilt of murder
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0will seek refuge in the grave;
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0let no one hold them back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
28:13 Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper,\u00a0
but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
13:12\u00a0Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
13:19 A longing fulfilled is sweet to the soul,\u00a0
but fools detest turning form evil.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
