Proverbs:22:17-29
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Bow down yours ear ,
and hear the words of the wise ,
and apply yours heart unto my knowledge .
*
For it is a pleasant thing if you keep them within you ;
they shall likewise be fitted in your lips .
*
That your trust may be in the LORD ,
I have made known to you this day ,
even to you .
*
Have not I written to you excellent things in counsels and knowledge ,
*
That I might make you know the certainty of the words of truth ;
that you might answer the words of truth to them that send unto you ?
*
Rob not the poor ,
because he is poor :
neither oppress the afflicted in the gate :
*
For the LORD will plead their cause ,
and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them .
*
Make no friendship with an angry man ;
and with a furious man you shall not go :
*
Lest you learn his ways ,
and get a snare to your soul .
*
Be not you one of them that shake hands ,
or of them that are sureties for debts .
*
If you have nothing to pay ,
why should he take away your bed from under you ?
*
Remove not the ancient landmark ,
which your fathers have set .
*
See you a man diligent in his business ?
he shall stand before kings ;
he shall not stand before mean men .
