Proverbs 16:4
'The Lord has made everything
[to accommodate itself and
contribute] to its own end and
His own purpose–
even the wicked
[are fitted for their role]
for the day of calamity and evil.'
Proverbs 18:12
'Haughtiness comes
Before Disaster,
But Humility before Honor.'
Proverbs 19:11
'Good Sense makes a man
Restrain his Anger, and
it is His Glory to Overlook
A Transgression or an Offense.'
Proverbs 17:4-5
'An EvilDoer Gives Heed to
Wicked Lips; and
A Liar Listens to a Mischievous Tongue.
Whoever Mocks the Poor
Reproaches his Maker, and
he who is Glad at Calamity
shall not be held innocent or
go unpunished.
[Job 31:29; Prov. 14:31; Obad. 12.]'
Proverbs 22:22-23
'Rob not the Poor
[being Tempted by their Helplessness],
Neither Oppress the Afflicted at the Gate
[where the city court is held],
[Exod. 23:6; Job 31:16, 21.]
For the Lord Will Plead their Cause
and Deprive of Life
Those who Deprive [the Poor or Afflicted].
[Zech. 7:10; Mal. 3:5.]'
Proverbs 21:2-3
'Every Way of a man is Right
In his Own Eyes, but
The Lord Weighs and Tries the Hearts.
[Prov. 24:12; Luke 16:15.]
To do Righteousness and Justice
is More Acceptable
To The Lord
than Sacrifice.
[I Sam. 15:22; Prov. 15:8; Isa. 1:11;
Hos. 6:6; Mic. 6:7, 8.]'
Proverbs 23:23
'Buy the Truth and Sell it NOT;
Not Only that, but Also Get
Discernment and Judgment,
Instruction and Understanding.'
