PROVERB OF THE DAY
(Proverbs 19)

And his heart frets against the LORD.

And he who speaks lies will not escape.
6. Many entreat the favor of the nobility,

He who keeps understanding will find good.
9. A false witness will not go unpunished,

And his glory is to overlook a transgression.

But his favor is like dew on the grass.

Nevertheless the LORD’s counsel—that will stand.

And he who has it will abide in satisfaction;
He will not be visited with evil.
24. A lazy man buries his hand in the bowl,
And will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.

Is a son who causes shame and brings reproach.

And you will stray from the words of knowledge.

And the mouth of the wicked devours iniquity.
