Pro. 10 (NLT)

Today’s favorite is a medley about words:
Pro. 10:
6 …the words of the wicked conceal violent intentions.
11 The words of the godly are a life-giving fountain; the words of the wicked conceal violent intentions.
13 Wise words come from the lips of people with understanding, …
19 Too much talk leads to sin. Be sensible and keep your mouth shut.
20 The words of the godly are like sterling silver…
21 The words of the godly encourage many, …
31 The mouth of the godly person gives wise advice, but the tongue that deceives will be cut off.
32 The lips of the godly speak helpful words, but the mouth of the wicked speaks perverse words.

Pro. 27 (NIV)

In order to make this blog easier to view my own comments for future reference, I am going to start posting my favorite verse here at the top of the post, and utilize the “more” so my favorites are more easily viewed.  Also, I will take away the comment widget, and add the category widget.

Pro. 27:9 Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart,
and the pleasantness of one’s friend springs from his earnest counsel.

27:10 has always been a favorite, but today I choose 9, which also speaks of a friend’s worth.  Authentic counsel from a friend is the heart’s joy.
