A Few Proverbs

        Proverbs 14, Verse 34 - Doing what is right makes a nation great, but sin will bring disgrace to many people. (New Century Version)

In my Friday morning Bible group, we studied chapter 14 of Proverbs this week. Lots of good verses in there, and I thought I would just share a few today.

        Verse 21 - It’s criminal to ignore a neighbor in need, but compassion for the poor—what a blessing! (The Message)

        Verse 22 - Those who make evil plans will be ruined, but those who plan to do good will be loved and trusted. (NCV)

        Verse 11 - The work of the wicked will perish; the work of the godly will flourish. (Living Bible)

        Verse 31 - Anyone who oppresses the poor is insulting God who made them. To help the poor is to honor God. (LB)

There are thirty more chapters in the book of Proverbs, all containing verses just as applicable to all of us today.
