Comfort

A cheerful disposition is good for your health; gloom and doom leave you bone-tired

Stone is heavy and sand a dead weight, but a fool’s provocation outweighs them both

Nothing is more appealing than speaking beautiful, life-giving words. For they release sweetness to our souls and inner healing to our spirits.

17 Anyone tormented by the guilt of murder will seek refuge in the grave; let no one hold them back.

15 A quarrelsome wife is like the dripping of a leaky roof in a rainstorm; 16 restraining her is like restraining the wind or grasping oil with the hand.

28 A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls.

20 Whoever sings songs to a heavy heart is like one who takes off a garment on a cold day, and like vinegar on soda.

25 A foolish son brings grief to his father and bitterness to the mother who bore him.

27 Seek favor, and people will favor you, but a curse rests on the life of the one who seeks harm.

11 Upright citizens are good for a city and make it prosper, but the talk of the wicked tears it apart.

23 Windbags find excitement in crime; intelligent people have interesting work.
