Cold Water News

/ Tim A. / Leave a comment

The north wind driveth away rain: so doth an angry countenance a backbiting tongue. It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house.  As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.   A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring.   It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory.

He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and with out walls.

Proverbs 25:23-28

Knowledge and Wisdom For The Soul

/ Tim A. / Leave a comment

My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste: So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.

  Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his resting place:  For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.

Proverbs 24:13-16

Surely There Is An End

/ Tim A. / Leave a comment

My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.  Yea, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things.  Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long. For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off.

Proverbs 23:15-18

The Scorner, The Righteous and The Deaf Of Hearing The Poor

/ Tim A. / Leave a comment

When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.

 The righteous man wisely considereth the house of the wicked: but God overthroweth the wicked for their wickedness.

 Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself,  but shall not be heard.

Proverbs 21:11-13

Men, A Just Man, and The Heart of Man

/ Tim A. / Leave a comment

 Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out.

 Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?

  The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.

Proverbs 20:5-7

That You May Be Wise

/ Tim A. / Leave a comment

A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliver him, yet thou must do it again.

 Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.

 There are many devices in a man’s heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.

 The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar.

Proverbs 19:19-22

A Better Use of the Mouth and Words

/ Tim A. / Leave a comment

The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips.  Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.  There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

Proverbs 16:23-25

Wisdom, the Fool; Sin and the Righteous

/ Tim A. / Leave a comment

The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools is deceit.  Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour.  The heart knoweth his own bitterness; and a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy

Proverbs 14:8-10

Speaking Truth

/ Tim A. / Leave a comment

He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.
There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health.
The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment.

  Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace is joy.

Proverbs 12;17-20

Within Cities: The Wicked And The Righteousness

/ Tim A. / Leave a comment

When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth: and when the wicked perish, there is shouting.  By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.

 He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbour: but a man of understanding holdeth his peace.

Proverbs 11:10-12

Loose Lips Sink Ships

/ Tim A. / Leave a comment

He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.

 In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.

 The tongue of the just is as choice silver: the heart of the wicked is little worth.

  The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom.

Proverbs 10:18-21

The Woman Without Wisdom

/ Tim A. / Leave a comment

  A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.  For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,  To call passengers who go right on their ways:  Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,  Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant. But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.

Proverbs 9:13-18

The House To Hell

/ Tim A. / Leave a comment

Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.  Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.  For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.  Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.

Proverbs 7:24-27

A Thief, Adulterer, and Jealousy…

/ Tim A. / Leave a comment

…Men do not despise a thief,
if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;
but if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold;
he shall give all the substance of his house.
 But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding:
he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.
 A wound and dishonour shall he get;
and his reproach shall not be wiped away.

For jealousy is the rage of a man:
therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
 He will not regard any ransom;
neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.

Proverbs 6:30-35
