Proverbs

Here’s some of the truths I decided to write down while listening to proverbs 11-20
These are paraphrased. I wrote down the ones that I thought I might forget or are very important to me in the things that I’m going through.

• By knowledge the righteous are saved.
• He who is trustworthy keeps a thing covered.
• He who hates striking hands in pledge is secure.
• Be assured the evil will not go unpunished.
• One gives freely but grows all the richer.
• Evil comes to him who searches it.
• Whoever captures souls is righteous.
• Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge.
• An excellent wife is like the crown of a husband.
• A man is commended according to his good sense.
• Whoever is righteous has regard for the life of his beast.
• He who follows worthless pursuits lacks sense.
• The work of a man’s hand comes back to him.
• Those who plan peace have joy.
• Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord.
• The hand of the diligent will rule.
• The slothful will be put to forced labor.
• Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down, but a good word encourages him.
• By insolence comes nothing but strife.
• Good sense wins favor.
• Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise.
• Whoever walks in uprightness fears the Lord.
• You get what you sow.
• The evil bow down before the good.
• Whoever despises his neighbor is a sinner.
• Whoever presses the poor insults his maker.
• The helper of the poor is blessed.
• A soft answer turns away wrath.
• The eyes of the Lord are in every place watching the good and the bad.
• Whoever ignores instruction despises himself.
• A whisperer separates close friends.
• The lot is cast into the lap, but every decision is from the Lord. (speaking of which, Have you ever tried praying and then using dice to decide what to do when you are feeling awfully indecisive?)

That’s all for now.

Till next post.
Your faithful typer,
