Fountain of Life
July 11th, 2010. Filed under: Sunday Scriptures.
How much better to get wisdom than gold! To get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.
The highway of the upright avoids evil; those who guard their way preserve their lives.
Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
It is better to be of a lowly spirit among the poor than to divide the spoil with the proud.
Those who are attentive to a matter will prosper, and happy are those who trust in the Lord.
The wise of heart is called perceptive, and pleasant speech increases persuasiveness.
Wisdom is a fountain of life to one who has it, but folly is the punishment of fools.
The mind of the wise makes their speech judicious, and adds persuasiveness to their lips.
Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body.
Proverbs 16:16-24
