Proverbs 28:25–26

²⁵The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.

⁶But godliness with contentment is great gain.

¹²Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.

¹⁰Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.

⁴The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.

²⁵The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe.

⁷Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.

⁸For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

¹⁸A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.

²⁴Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath.

¹⁰Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and reproach shall cease.

²²An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression.

¹²O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.

¹¹And the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.

³⁰The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: and a good report maketh the bones fat.

⁵¶ Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

⁹¶ The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

²⁸And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.

⁷Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

⁵If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

¹⁵And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

¹³Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.

¹⁴But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.

¹⁵This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.

¹⁶For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.

¹⁷But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

¹⁸And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

²¹For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,

²²Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:

²³All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

¹³And Hazael said, But what, is thy servant a dog, that he should do this great thing? And Elisha answered, The Lord hath shewed me that thou shalt be king over Syria.

²⁷And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.

²⁸But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.

²⁹But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I.

³⁰And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this day, even in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice.

³¹But he spake the more vehemently, If I should die with thee, I will not deny thee in any wise. Likewise also said they all.
