Amy's Wandering

There were several little gems in my reading today, so I thought I would share them with you!

Proverbs 14

⁴ Where there are no oxen, the manger is clean,
but abundant crops come by the strength of the ox.

¹⁵ The simple believes everything,
but the prudent gives thought to his steps.

¹⁶ One who is wise is cautious and turns away from evil,
but a fool is reckless and careless.

²¹ Whoever despises his neighbor is a sinner,
but blessed is he who is generous to the poor.

²⁶ In the fear of the LORD one has strong confidence,
and his children will have a refuge.

³⁰ A tranquil heart gives life to the flesh,
but envy makes the bones rot.

³¹ Whoever oppresses a poor man insults his Maker,
but he who is generous to the needy honors him.

Proverbs 15

¹ A soft answer turns away wrath,
but a harsh word stirs up anger.

³ The eyes of the LORD are in every place,
keeping watch on the evil and the good.

¹⁴ The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge,
but the mouths of fools feed on folly.

¹⁶ Better is a little with the fear of the LORD
than great treasure and trouble with it.

¹⁹ The way of a sluggard is like a hedge of thorns,
but the path of the upright is a level highway.

²³ To make an apt answer is a joy to a man,
and a word in season, how good it is!

²⁸The heart of the righteous ponders how to answer,
but the mouth of the wicked pours out evil things.
