Nuggets of Wisdom

3 Some people ruin themselves by their own stupid actions and then blame the LORD.

11 Wisdom will extend your life, making every year more fruitful than the one before. 12 So it is to your advantage to be wise. But to ignore the counsel of wisdom is to invite trouble into your life.

27 Living your life seeking what is good for others brings untold favor, but those who wish evil for others will find it coming back on them.

20 If you want to grow in wisdom, spend time with the wise. Walk with the wicked and you'll eventually become just like them.

23 If you work hard at what you do, great abundance will come to you. But merely talking about getting rich while living to only pursue your pleasures brings you face-to-face with poverty.

29 When your heart overflows with understanding you'll be very slow to get angry. But if you have a quick temper, your impatience will be quickly seen by all.

11 By making excuses you'll learn what it means to go without. Poverty will pounce on you like a bandit and move in as your roommate for life.

3 If you are good, you are guided by honesty. People who can't be trusted are destroyed by their own dishonesty.
