- Do not envy sinners; they only cause trouble.
- Wisdom and understanding need to be our foundation.
- In this struggle with temptation, we need the guidance of the Lord.
- Do not fall to shambles in times of crisis; find strength in God.
- Reach out to those trudging down the path of the wicked; do not hesitate to help them!
- Do not turn your cheek to wrongdoing because "it doesn't concern you;" God sees such excuses and is not impressed.
- Accepting the knowledge and teaching of God secures your future!
- Though the righteous may stumble, God will help them up to continue their walk; the wicked do not receive such assistance.
- Do not rejoice in the pitfalls of the wicked; God does not approve of such things.
- Fear God, always!
- Let not injustice be acceptable in your heart; expose it for the wickedness that it is!
- Be honest and diligent.
- Do not speak in a slanderous manner.
- Be not vengeful.
- Do not live as sluggards do, for their repayment shall be poverty.
Kudos to The Message for helping me out!
I particularly like this verse:
"15 Do not lurk like a thief near the house of the righteous,
do not plunder their dwelling place; 16 for though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again,
but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes."
do not plunder their dwelling place; 16 for though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again,
but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes."
