HE WHO HAS EARS TO HEAR LET HIM HEAR

/ Tim A. / Leave a comment

 A gift in secret pacifieth anger: and a reward in the bosom strong wrath.

  It is joy to the just to do judgment: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.

  The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.

  He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.

  The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for the upright.

  It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.

  There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up.

 Proverbs 21:14-20

THE LIPS OF THE WISE AND THE HEART OF THE FOOLISH

/ Tim A. / Leave a comment

The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish doeth not so.  The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright is his delight.  The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the LORD: but He loveth him that followeth after righteousness.

Proverbs 15:7-9

A Scorner; A Merry Heart; Heart of Understanding

/ Tim A. / 1 Comment

“A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he go unto the wise.
A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.”  Proverbs 15:12-14  (KJB)

The Righteous, The Wise, And Honor

/ Tim A. / Leave a comment

“The wicked are overthrown, and are not: but the house of the righteous shall stand.
A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.
He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread.”  Proverbs 12:7-9  (KJB)
