Proverbs 14, A Study

3/20/2015

0 Comments

 
 The wise woman builds her house, But the foolish tears it down with her own hands. 
 He who walks in his uprightness fears the LORD, But he who is devious in his ways despises Him. 
 In the mouth of the foolish is a rod for his back, But the lips of the wise will protect them. 
 Where no oxen are, the manger is clean, But much revenue comes by the strength of the ox. 
 A trustworthy witness will not lie, But a false witness utters lies. 
 A scoffer seeks wisdom and finds none, But knowledge is easy to one who has understanding. 
 Leave the presence of a fool, Or you will not discern words of knowledge. 
 The wisdom of the sensible is to understand his way, But the foolishness of fools is deceit. 
 Fools mock at sin, But among the upright there is good will. 
The heart knows its own bitterness, And a stranger does not share its joy. 
The house of the wicked will be destroyed, But the tent of the upright will flourish. 
There is a way which seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death. 
Even in laughter the heart may be in pain, And the end of joy may be grief. 
The backslider in heart will have his fill of his own ways, But a good man will be satisfied with his. 
The naive believes everything, But the sensible man considers his steps. 
Awise man is cautious and turns away from evil, But a fool is arrogant and careless. 
A quick-tempered man acts foolishly, And a man of evil devices is hated. 
The naive inherit foolishness, But the sensible are crowned with knowledge. 
The evil will bow down before the good, And the wicked at the gates of the righteous. 
The poor is hated even by his neighbor, But those who love the rich are many. 
He who despises his neighbor sins, But happy is he who is gracious to the poor. 
Will they not go astray who devise evil? But kindness and truth will be to those who devise good. 
In all labor there is profit, But mere talk leads only to poverty. 
The crown of the wise is their riches, But the folly of fools is foolishness. 
A truthful witness saves lives, But he who utters lies is treacherous. 
In the fear of the LORD there is strong confidence, And his children will have refuge. 
The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, That one may avoid the snares of death. 
In a multitude of people is a king's glory, But in the dearth of people is a prince's ruin. 
He who is slow to anger has great understanding, But he who is quick-tempered exalts folly. 
A tranquil heart is life to the body, But passion is rottenness to the bones. 
He who oppresses the poor taunts his Maker, But he who is gracious to the needy honors Him. 
The wicked is thrust down by his wrongdoing, But the righteous has a refuge when he dies. 
Wisdom rests in the heart of one who has understanding, But in the hearts of fools it is made known. 
Righteousness exalts a nation, But sin is a disgrace to any people. 
The king's favor is toward a servant who acts wisely, But his anger is toward him who acts shamefully.

People Are Messy
by Rick Whitter, Director of International Orphan Support
Bible Study Tools

...In essence, the verse is telling us that life is simpler if you don’t get too close to people. It’s quieter, cleaner and less complicated. Your “stable” will stay clean if you are the only one in it.

And that philosophy guides the lives of a lot of folks. Isolationists. Loners. Or maybe just “non-people people.”  For whatever reason (shyness, past hurts/disappointments, or insecurities), some people just prefer to be alone. And some of us think that relationships just aren’t worth all the hassle.

But here is what I think: We were not intended to live life alone. True, it is easier not to bother with people. You can do what you want when you want without the worry of what other people think or do. But we were put on this earth to do life with one another. We are better together than we are apart – even with all of the complications of relationships...
