Proverbs 14:

Amen!

 

[musicalpilgrim]

31 Those who oppress the poor insult their Maker,
but helping the poor honors him.

 

[quietbloke]

'Righteousness exalts a nation'. Sin drags it down. We can only be righteous in Christ. We pray that our countries will exalt Christ and live in obedience to the Word of God.

Proverbs 14:

 

[musicalpilgrim]

13 Laughter can conceal a heavy heart,
but when the laughter ends, the grief remains.

Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful, and a smile forced upon the face when the heart is in deep distress. It is a hard to put on the face of happiness, when the heart is heavy.

 

[brinny]

Proverbs 14:

"Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people." ~Proverbs 14:34

 

[W2L]

This proverbs 14 scripture reminds me of the words of Paul the apostle, when he mentioned "sorrowful yet rejoicing". Perhaps these scriptures are unrelated, i dont know, but its interesting to ponder.

Proverbs 14:13 Even in laughter the heart may sorrow,
And the end of mirth may be grief.
14 The backslider in heart will be filled with his own ways,
But a good man will be satisfied from above.[a]


2 Corinthians 6:10 as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.

1 Corinthians 7:29 But this I say, brethren, the time is short, so that from now on even those who have wives should be as though they had none, 30 those who weep as though they did not weep, those who rejoice as though they did not rejoice, those who buy as though they did not possess, 31 and those who use this world as not misusing it. For the form of this world is passing away.

Proverbs 14:

"Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth shall be to them that devise good." ~Proverbs 14:22

 

[W2L]

15 The simple believes every word,
But the prudent considers well his steps.

crowned with knowledge

18 The simple inherit folly,
But the prudent are crowned with knowledge.

 

[W2L]

Spiritual profit.

23 In all labor there is profit,
But idle chatter leads only to poverty.

24 The crown of the wise is their riches,
But the foolishness of fools is folly.

 

[brinny]

Proverbs 14:

Amen. This is sooooo true.

 

[PKFox]

There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death. Prov. 14:12.
People who don't live for God see whatever they do to be right in their own eyes, even if it is sinful in nature. However, trying to live for God is the path that leads to life.

 

[W2L]

26 In the fear of the Lord there is strong confidence,
And His children will have a place of refuge.
27 The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life,
To turn one away from the snares of death.

 

[W2L]

29 He who is slow to wrath has great understanding,
But he who is impulsive exalts folly.

 

[brinny]

Amen. God help me be slow to anger and to be more patient, by Your power, in Jesus name, amen.

[TurtleFish The Challenged]

Reading this psalm reminds me to choose careful who our friends are. Being friends with non-believers will cast us down. Consider someone who is mocking sin for example. Someone who holds no convictions. Fools are not a friend we want to have while on the Lord's path! Proverbs 14:7-9
Best to pray for some people at a distance.
