Proverbs 17:7
Excellent speech does not benefit a fool, Much less do lying lips benefit a prince.
Excellent speech does not benefit a fool, Much less do lying lips benefit a prince.
He who covers and forgives an offense seeks love, but he who repeats or gossips about a matter separates intimate friends.
It's fairIn the Bible, a cannibalistic God makes people eat human flesh.
There are nine passages in the Old Testament where God makes cannibalistic threats. Here is the worst one:
"And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me; Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins. And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat." (Leviticus 26:27–29 King James Version)
God destroys the fetuses of those who do not worship him.
This is not the only feticidal passage in the bible, but it is the worst:
"You shall acknowledge no God but me. . . . You are destroyed, Israel. . . . The people of Samaria must bear their guilt, because they have rebelled against their God. They will fall by the sword; their little ones will be dashed to the ground, their pregnant women ripped open." (Hosea 13:4, 9, 16 New International Version)
Let a man meet a bear robbed of her cubs, rather than a fool in his folly.
He who becomes a parent of a fool does so to his sorrow, and the father of a fool has no joy.
A wicked man receives a bribe from the pocket to pervert the ways of justice.
Riches will not provide security
A fool does not delight in understanding, But only in revealing his personal opinions.
A fool's lips bring contention and strife, and his mouth invites a beating.
The name of the Lord is a strong tower, the righteous runs to it and is safe and set on high.
The first one to plead his case seems right, until another comes and cross-examines him.
Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it and indulge it will eat it's fruit and bear the consequences of their words.
He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor and approval from the Lord.
The man of too many friends will be broken in pieces and come to ruin, but there is a FRIEND who sticks closer than a brother.
