Trust in
the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding; in
all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight. (3:5-6)Work
Lazy hands make a man poor,
but diligent hands bring wealth. (10:4)
He who works his land will have abundant food,
but he who chases fantasies lacks judgment. (12:11)
Words
He who guards his lips guards his life,
but he who speaks rashly will come to ruin. (13:3)
The tongue has the power of life and death,
and those who love it will eat its fruit. (18:21)
For lack of guidance a nation falls,
but many advisers make victory sure. (11:14)
He who listens to a life-giving rebuke
will be at home among the wise. (15:31)
A gossip betrays a confidence;
so avoid a man who talks too much. (20:19)
Wages
Dishonest money dwindles away,
but he who gathers money little by little makes it grow. (13:11)
A generous man will prosper;
he who refreshes others will himse…
and he will make your paths straight. (3:5-6)Work
