Proverbs 4
Listen, my sons, to a father’s instruction;
pay attention and gain understanding.
For I give you sound teaching;
do not abandon my directive.
When I was a son to my father,
tender and the only child of my mother,
Proverbs (Bible)
Hating Evil
Psalm 139:19-24
O God, that You would slay the wicked—
away from me, you bloodthirsty men—
who speak of You deceitfully;
Your enemies take Your name in vain.
Do I not hate those who hate You, O LORD,
and detest those who rise against You?
Proverbs 26
Proverbs 26
Like snow in summer and rain at harvest,
honor does not befit a fool.
Like a fluttering sparrow or darting swallow,
an undeserved curse does not come to rest.
A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey,
and a rod for the backs of fools!
Proverbs 15
Proverbs 15
A gentle answer turns away wrath,
but a harsh word stirs up anger.
The tongue of the wise commends knowledge,
but the mouth of the fool spouts folly.
The eyes of the LORD are in every place,
observing the evil and the good.
Proverbs 8
Proverbs 8
Does not wisdom call out,
and understanding raise her voice?
On the heights overlooking the road,
at the crossroads she takes her stand.
Beside the gates to the city,
at the entrances she cries out:
“To you, O men, I call out,
and my cry is to the sons of men.
