Proverbs: God's Wisdom for Daily Living

Devotional Scripture:

Proverbs 24:28-29 (KJV):

28 Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and deceive not with thy lips.

29 Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man according to his work.

Proverbs 24:28-29 (AMP):

28 Be not a witness against your neighbor without cause, and deceive not with your lips.

29 Say not, I will do to him as he has done to me; I will pay the man back for his deed.

Thought for the Day

These verses elaborate on one of the Ten Commandments: "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor" (Exodus 20:16). To bear false witness is to attempt to deceive a legal court by lying about someone. Man needs God's Law because man's sinful nature causes disagreements, hard feelings, and the desire for revenge. The Lord commands Christians to live peaceably with others and extend grace to them. "Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled" (Hebrews 12:14-15). We are not to return evil for evil, but to bless our enemies and do good to them. We are not to seek vengeance on wrongs that have been done to us in the past or bear false witness against others. "Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it" (1 Peter 3:8-12).

God will bless us when we obey His Word, whether or not our opponents acknowledge or appreciate our right actions. Vengeance alienates people, whether neighbors, fellow-Christians, or enemies, and an offended brother is harder to win back than a strong city (Proverbs 18:19). We cannot win the lost to Christ nor help a Christian in error if we exact vengeance upon them for hurting us. "Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good" (Romans 12:19-21). God knows how to deal justly with every person.

If we are wise, we will learn to guard our mouths and not say things we will later regret. It is possible to be wrong, even when we are right, by having a wrong attitude. If we want to be leaders in the church, we must not enter into strife with others, but deal gently with everyone. If we ask, God will help us to do this and cause His goodness to flow through us. "And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, in meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth" (2 Timothy 2:24-25).

Prayer Devotional for the Day

Dear heavenly Father, I do want to be a person who is not easily offended and also one who trusts You to deal with those who would seek to do evil against me. I know that I cannot do this within myself, so I am asking You to fill me with the Spirit so that I can honestly love my enemies and do good to them. I know this kind of love only comes from You. Lord, forgive those who plot evil against me and say evil things about me. Open their eyes to the truth. Give me the grace and patience to allow You to deal with them, as I truly want to overcome evil with good. I ask this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

NO RESPECT OF PERSONS (IMPARTIALITY) -- KJV (King James Version) Bible Verse List #Scriptures #BibleStudy #BibleVerses "Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honour the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour." Leviticus 19:15, KJV "Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God's: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto me, and I will hear it."

29 things I learned in 29 years

Life is a journey filled with lessons, experiences, and moments of growth. As we navigate the ups and downs, it is essential to embrace wisdom and guidance along the way. The Bible reminds us in Proverbs 4:7 (KJV), “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.” With this in mind, here are the 29 valuable lessons I learned over the years that reflect on my life, faith, and personal growth.

1. Be open to change—it’s inevitable. Life constantly shifts, and resisting it will only make the process harder. Embrace it with a flexible mindset.

2. Stay teachable—everything is a learning experience. Whether in success or failure, there’s always something to learn. Being a lifelong student keeps you growing.

3. Practice patience. Most worthwhile things take time. Don’t rush the process—trust it.

4. Hard work pays off. It might not happen overnight, but consistent effort will always yield results, even when you least expect it.

5. Earning money is hard; spending it is easy. Learn to value what you earn, and be intentional with how you spend.

6. Be punctual—respect other people’s time. Time is one of the most valuable things you can give or take from someone. Being on time shows respect.

7. Don’t take everything personally. Often, people’s actions are a reflection of them, not you. Let go of the need to internalize everything.

8. Learn to have fun; not everything needs to be serious. Balance hard work with play—laughter and joy are necessary to enjoy the journey.

9. Read the Bible and meditate on God’s Word. It provides wisdom, direction, and comfort, grounding you in faith.

10. Pray every day. It’s a way to reconnect with God, find peace, and gain clarity in life’s chaos.

11. Always strive to be the better person in the room. Lead by example with kindness, humility, and integrity.

12. Be involved and make time for the important people in your life. Relationships are built on shared moments and presence. Be intentional in fostering those connections.

13. Stay humble. No matter how much you achieve, humility keeps you grounded and approachable.

14. Respect others’ opinions and really listen to them. Everyone has a unique perspective. Listening opens doors to understanding, even when you disagree.

15. Support local businesses. It builds community and uplifts those who pour their hearts into their craft.

16. Make yourself available for the Lord. Prioritize spiritual growth and openness to His plans for your life.

17. Be grateful for everything, big or small. Gratitude shifts your perspective, helping you see blessings even in challenging times.

18. Friendships don’t require constant communication. True friends remain connected even with time and distance in between.

19. Laziness won’t take you anywhere. Success requires consistent effort, and procrastination only delays your progress.

20. There’s a whole world outside your room. Don’t limit yourself—explore, connect with nature, and see new things.

21. You decide what you want to believe in. Your beliefs shape your reality, so choose them wisely, aligning them with your values and truth.

22. Sleep is important. Rest is necessary for mental, physical, and emotional well-being. Don’t sacrifice it for short-term gains.

23. Health is wealth. Without your health, nothing else matters. Take care of your body and mind, as they carry you through life.

24. Having a pet is a step closer to parenting. It teaches responsibility, patience, and unconditional love, preparing you for future responsibilities.

25. You choose who to connect with; people come and go. Relationships ebb and flow. Cherish the ones who stay, and let go of those who drift away.

26. There is joy in chaos. True joy comes from within, not material things. Life’s messiness can still hold beauty. Learn to find joy in small moments and inner peace.

27. Appreciate the help of others. No one achieves success alone. Gratitude towards those who assist you strengthens your bonds and acknowledges their kindness.

28. Be accountable for your past mistakes. Own up to them, learn from them, and move forward without letting them define you.

29. You cannot pour from an empty cup—take care of yourself first. Self-care isn’t selfish. When you prioritize your well-being, you’re better equipped to help others.

As I reflect on these lessons, it’s important to remember that life is a continuous process of learning and seeking God’s will. Philippians 1:6 (KJV) encourages us, “Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.” May we continue to grow in wisdom, faith, and love, always trusting in God’s plan for our lives.

Proverbs 1:1-33 KJV

The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel; [2] To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding; [3] To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity; [4] To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion. [5] A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels: [6] To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings. [7] The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. [8] My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother: [9] For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck. [10] My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not. [11] If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause: [12] Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit: [13] We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil: [14] Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse: [15] My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path: [16] For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood. [17] Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird. [18] And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives. [19] So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof. [20] Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets: [21] She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying, [22] How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? [23] Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. [24] Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; [25] But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: [26] I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; [27] When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. [28] Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: [29] For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD: [30] They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. [31] Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. [32] For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. [33] But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.

[34]But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.

[35]Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,

[36]Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

[37]Yashaya said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

[38]This is the first and great commandment.

[39]And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

[40]On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

CONFIRMED IN (ZECHARIAH 8:16-17):

YISRAEL, THOU SHALT NOT IMAGINE NO EVIL AGAINST THY NEIGHBOUR AND THOU SHALT EXECUTE RIGHTEOUS JUDGEMENT IN THE LAND, AMEN:

[16]These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates:

[17]And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, saith the LORD.

PROVERBS 3:29-30

[1]And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.

[2]And Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father's house.

[3]Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.

[4]And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.

[5]And David went out whithersoever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely: and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants.

Jesus, in fact, gave his approval for the use of alcohol when He turned the water into wine.

Jesus said: “Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.” (Matthew 15:11 KJV)

My guess in simple words would be that if you cannot drink in moderation and start acting like an a-hole then maybe you had too much to drink. Of course, some people don't need to drink and they still don't know how to keep their big mouths shut.

Tip: Red wine is full of antioxidants and has been known for longevity in moderation.

Those who oppose the drinking of alcohol, in any quantity, argue that Jesus would not have turned the water into wine, as He would have been promoting the consumption of a substance that is tainted by sin. That is not a biblical understanding, however. Some Scriptures discuss alcohol in positive terms. Ecclesiastes 9:7 instructs, “Drink your wine with a merry heart.” Psalm 104:14-15 states that God gives wine “that makes glad the heart of men.” Amos 9:14 discusses drinking wine from your own vineyard as a sign of God’s blessing. Isaiah 55:1 encourages, “Yes, come buy wine and milk…”

From these and other Scriptures, it is clear that alcohol itself is not inherently sinful. Rather, it is the abuse of alcohol, drunkenness and/or addiction, that is sinful (Ephesians 5:18; Proverbs 23:29-35; 1 Corinthians 6:12; 2 Peter 2:19). Therefore, it would not have been a sin for Jesus to create a drink that contained alcohol.

Also, when it comes to bible verses or any religious discussions I will not debate as I feel everyone is free to interpret their own meanings and truths. No two persons ever perceive the same book in the same way.

God's Judgment on Israel and Judah

1 Hear ye this, O priests; and hearken, ye house of Israel; and give ye ear, O house of the king; for judgment is toward you, because ye have been a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor.

2 And the revolters are profound to make slaughter, though I have been a rebuker of them all.

3 I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for now, O Ephraim, thou committest whoredom, and Israel is defiled.

4 They will not frame their doings to turn unto their God: for the spirit of whoredoms is in the midst of them, and they have not known the Lord.

5 And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity: Judah also shall fall with them.

6 They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the Lord; but they shall not find him; he hath withdrawn himself from them.

7 They have dealt treacherously against the Lord: for they have begotten strange children: now shall a month devour them with their portions.

8 Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah: cry aloud at Bethaven, after thee, O Benjamin.

9 Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be.

10 The princes of Judah were like them that remove the bound: therefore I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.

11 Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment, because he willingly walked after the commandment.

12 Therefore will I be unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.

13 When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb: yet could he not heal you, nor cure you of your wound.

14 For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I, will tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall rescue him.

15 I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early. — Hosea 5 | King James Version (KJV) The King James Version Bible is in the public domain.

Daily Devotionals for December 17, 2024

Proverbs: God's Wisdom for Daily Living

Devotional Scripture:

Proverbs 30:29-31 (KJV): 29 There be three things which go well, yea, four are comely in going: 30 A lion which is strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any; 31 A greyhound; and he goat also; and a king, against whom there is no rising up. Proverbs 30:29-31 (AMP): 29 There are three things which go well, yea, four which are comely in their goings: 30 a lion, which is strongest among beasts and turneth not away for any; 31 a greyhound, a he-goat also, and a king against whom there is no rising up.

Thought for the Day

Verses 29-31 - Agur described four things that are stately in their walk; from these observations we can gain spiritual truths.

The Lion: The lion is called the "king of the beasts," but it is not strength alone that causes it to stride in majestic confidence. He is fearless, turning away from no beast. We too, can be strong and unafraid if we walk with God, and claim His strength and His confidence. "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil" (Ephesians 6:10-11). We are to be strong in the Lord and the power of His might, not our own. When we put on our spiritual armor, the enemy's fiery darts cannot harm us. We must not fear what man can do, for God is greater than any man (Psalm 56:11). If we pray for the people the devil is using against us, and take authority over those powers in the name of Jesus, then the devil will have to cease his attacks against them and us. We are not to fear what man can do to us, as God is greater than any man.

The Greyhound: Graceful in its walk, the greyhound can out-run pursuer or prey. It is needful to be swift about some things in life, while slow about others. We ought to be swift to repent, swift to forgive, swift to obey God's voice, swift to do good. Scripture tells us to be swift to hear, but slow to speak and slow to become angry (James 1:19-20). Someone has said that God gave us two ears and only one mouth, so we should listen twice as much as we speak.

The He-Goat: The mountain goat majestically climbs high into the mountains and leaps upon their steep, rocky slopes. Confident and unafraid of falling, goats are uncannily surefooted. There are many mountains to conquer in life. We can become surefooted and confident in our walk of faith by applying Biblical truths to our lives. Then we will not fear the mountains of difficulties which we must overcome. We can trust the Lord to give us spiritual hinds' feet, for deer are sure-footed like the goats. "He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places. He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms" (Psalm 18:33-34).

A King: The last example talks about a king who has a kingdom at peace. It is quite a picture to see a military processional parade down a street for review. The king, dressed in his finest, rides on the lead horse who is girded up for the occasion. Backed by his finest men, he rides forth in great confidence, since there are no uprisings against him that he must deal with at the present time. He is stately in appearance, as the other animals mentioned in these verses are. We can also be as this rider, when we allow the Holy Spirit to work His confidence and demeanor in us. We can have confidence in Him when we pray, knowing that if we ask anything of Him that is His will for us, we will receive it (1 John 5:14-15).

Prayer Devotional for the Day

Dear heavenly Father, give us the confidence we need in order to overcome the things we face in our daily lives. Deliver us from all fear so that we will not allow the pressure of the world to cause us to compromise in any way. May we always trust You and have confidence in You, knowing that You will never fail us, nor leave us. Let us always walk with our heads high when it comes to being a witness for You. We gladly will bear any reproach that comes because we are a Christian. We proudly bear Your name and ask that we can always walk stately and unafraid in the face of our enemies. In Your name I pray. Amen.

LIGHT OF LIFE 342

John 1:4

TOO LATE 5 – BUT WHY? 2

Eze 14:19-20 “Or SUPPOSE I WERE TO SEND A PLAGUE INTO THAT LAND, AND POUR OUT MY RAGE ON IT WITH BLOODSHED, killing both people and animals. EVEN IF NOAH, DANIEL, AND JOB WERE IN IT, AS SURELY AS I LIVE, DECLARES THE SOVEREIGN LORD, THEY COULD NOT SAVE THEIR OWN SON OR DAUGHTER; THEY WOULD SAVE ONLY THEIR OWN LIVES BY THEIR RIGHTEOUSNESS. NET

We have started to look into why God can get “stiff”, unforgiving, and [ultimately] shut the “door of Mercy” against men.

We now continue with more points, which we commenced from last lesson.

3. DESPISED WINDOWS OF MERCY – God could have given space and time for many to change their ways but they insisted on going the wrong way, and so, Mercy runs out for them.

Rev 2:20-21 But I have this against you, that you let the woman Jezebel say she is a prophet and give false teaching, making my servants go after the desires of the flesh and take food offered to false gods. AND I GAVE HER TIME FOR A CHANGE OF HEART, BUT SHE HAS NO MIND TO GIVE UP HER UNCLEAN WAYS. BBE

As terrible as the sin (fornication & Idolatry) is – things for which God should wipe men out without 2nd thought – God still gave “room” for repentance.

Can you imagine how disrespectful such rebuff from men could be?

God even makes threats just to cause fear that leads to repentance but no!

Rev 2:22 I am going to strike down Jezebel. Everyone who does these immoral things with her will also be punished, IF THEY DON'T STOP. CEV

You can’t deny the authenticity of the LOVE of a God who takes the pain to warn you often, though He can destroy you with ease.

This brings us to the next point:

4. STUBBORN SOULS – there are persons who are commonly bent on going the wrong way.

Pro 29:1 If you get MORE STUBBORN every time you are corrected, ONE DAY YOU WILL BE CRUSHED AND NEVER RECOVER. GNB

Samson was like that too, because he had passion for women and wasn’t ready to cease from it.

Jdg 14:3 His father and his mother answered, "But surely there is a woman from the Israelites you can marry. Do you have to marry a woman from the Philistines? Their men are not even circumcised." But Samson said, "GET THAT WOMAN FOR ME! SHE IS THE ONE I WANT!" ERV

Once Samson lost the EYES he couldn’t take away from lusting after women, no prayer could bring it back.

His “Mission” had to be fulfilled without those eyes, which was now clearly hated by God.

But what about addictions; could a man be condemned where it is obvious that he is not in [full] control of himself?

Good question, but with perfect answer from the holy Book.

Luk 1:73-75 HE HAS RESCUED US FROM THE POWER OF OUR ENEMIES! This fulfills the sacred oath he made with our father Abraham. NOW WE CAN BOLDLY WORSHIP GOD WITH HOLY LIVES, LIVING IN PURITY AS PRIESTS IN HIS PRESENCE EVERY DAY! TPT

Please take note: addiction to anything can never be an excuse to exonerate anyone before God because the very first thing you get as you come to Christ, is Deliverance from all physical and spiritual hindrances that are poised to prevent you from serving God.

It is a definite divine rule.

Oba 1:17 But UPON MOUNT ZION SHALL BE DELIVERANCE, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions. KJV

How do you actualize your Deliverance?

First, “upon Mount Zion” means you engage Salvation experiences where there are true believers and sincere Ministers; it must be a bible-believing, and profound Gospel preaching Church.

Second, after deliverance, don’t go back to the “slums” or engage with former sin-friendly folks.

2Pe 2:22 What happened to them shows that the proverbs are true: "A dog goes back to what it has vomited" and "A PIG THAT HAS BEEN WASHED GOES BACK TO ROLL IN THE MUD." GNB

Thirdly, “the just shall live by faith”; you must claim your victory practically by confession and by a renewed mindset.

Rom 6:9-12 We know that Christ, who was brought back to life, will never die again. Death no longer has any power over him. When he died, he died once and for all to sin's power. But now he lives, and he lives for God. SO CONSIDER YOURSELVES DEAD TO SIN'S POWER BUT LIVING FOR GOD IN THE POWER CHRIST JESUS GIVES YOU. THEREFORE, NEVER LET SIN RULE YOUR PHYSICAL BODY SO THAT YOU OBEY ITS DESIRES. GW

Fourthly, you must fight against any urges that attempt to return; never YIELD to them again.

Rom 6:13-14 So then, REFUSE TO ANSWER ITS CALL TO SURRENDER YOUR BODY AS A TOOL FOR WICKEDNESS. Instead, passionately answer God’s call to keep yielding your body to him as one who has now experienced resurrection life! You live now for his pleasure, ready to be used for his noble purpose. Remember this: sin will not conquer you, for God already has! You are not governed by law but governed by the reign of the grace of God. TPT

If you’ve done all these, you’d be free in Jesus name.

But if you continue in sin, one day, the door of mercy closes and can’t be opened anymore.

If it is not death, one can [forever] lose the ability to refer to God as father again; he becomes apostate and won’t relate with the spiritual, ever again.

Jer 44:26-27 Therefore hear the Word of Jehovah, all Judah that lives in the land of Egypt. BEHOLD, I HAVE SWORN BY MY GREAT NAME, SAYS JEHOVAH, THAT MY NAME WILL NO MORE BE NAMED IN THE MOUTH OF ANY MAN OF JUDAH IN ALL THE LAND OF EGYPT, SAYING, THE LORD JEHOVAH LIVES. Behold, I will watch over them for evil, and not for good. And all the men of Judah in the land of Egypt shall be destroyed by the sword and by the famine, until there is an end of them. MKJV

May God not reject any of us, in Jesus name.

Join us on Friday as we progress with this intriguing Subtopic.

Keep Shinning!

Proverbs 1:1-33 KJV

The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel; [2] To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding; [3] To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity; [4] To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion. [5] A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels: [6] To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings. [7] The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. [8] My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother: [9] For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck. [10] My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not. [11] If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause: [12] Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit: [13] We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil: [14] Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse: [15] My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path: [16] For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood. [17] Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird. [18] And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives. [19] So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof. [20] Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets: [21] She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying, [22] How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? [23] Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. [24] Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; [25] But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: [26] I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; [27] When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. [28] Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: [29] For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD: [30] They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. [31] Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. [32] For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. [33] But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
