Sunday in Proverbs

Chapter 8
6 Listen to me! For I have important things to tell you.
      Everything I say is right,
 7 for I speak the truth
      and detest every kind of deception.
 8 My advice is wholesome.
      There is nothing devious or crooked in it.
 9 My words are plain to anyone with understanding,
      clear to those with knowledge.
 10 Choose my instruction rather than silver,
      and knowledge rather than pure gold.
 11 For wisdom is far more valuable than rubies.
      Nothing you desire can compare with it.

Chapter 8

1 Listen as Wisdom calls out!
      Hear as understanding raises her voice!
 2 On the hilltop along the road,
      she takes her stand at the crossroads.
 3 By the gates at the entrance to the town,
      on the road leading in, she cries aloud,
 4 “I call to you, to all of you!
      I raise my voice to all people.
 5 You simple people, use good judgment.
      You foolish people, show some understanding.

Proverbs, Chapter 7
1 Follow my advice, my son;
      always treasure my commands.
 2 Obey my commands and live!
      Guard my instructions as you guard your own eyes.
 3 Tie them on your fingers as a reminder.
      Write them deep within your heart.
 4 Love wisdom like a sister;
      make insight a beloved member of your family.
 5 Let them protect you from an affair with an immoral woman,
      from listening to the flattery of a promiscuous woman.

Proverbs, Chapter 6
30 Excuses might be found for a thief
      who steals because he is starving.
 31 But if he is caught, he must pay back seven times what he stole,
      even if he has to sell everything in his house.
 32 But the man who commits adultery is an utter fool,
      for he destroys himself.
 33 He will be wounded and disgraced.
      His shame will never be erased.
 34 For the woman’s jealous husband will be furious,
      and he will show no mercy when he takes revenge.
 35 He will accept no compensation,
      nor be satisfied with a payoff of any size.

Chapter 6
27 Can a man scoop a flame into his lap
      and not have his clothes catch on fire?
 28 Can he walk on hot coals
      and not blister his feet?
 29 So it is with the man who sleeps with another man’s wife.
      He who embraces her will not go unpunished.

Proverbs, Chapter 6
 16 There are six things the LORD hates,
       seven that are detestable to him:
 17 haughty eyes,
       a lying tongue,
       hands that shed innocent blood,
 18 a heart that devises wicked schemes,
       feet that are quick to rush into evil,
 19 a false witness who pours out lies
       and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.

John, Chapter 12
12The next day the great crowd that had come for the Feast heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem. 13They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting,
   “Hosanna!”
   “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”
   “Blessed is the King of Israel!” 14Jesus found a young donkey and sat upon it, as it is written,
 15“Do not be afraid, O Daughter of Zion;
      see, your king is coming,
      seated on a donkey’s colt.”

Proverbs, Chapter 6
 12 A scoundrel and villain,
       who goes about with a corrupt mouth,
 13 who winks with his eye,
       signals with his feet
       and motions with his fingers,
 14 who plots evil with deceit in his heart—
       he always stirs up dissension.
 15 Therefore disaster will overtake him in an instant;
       he will suddenly be destroyed—without remedy.

Proverbs, Chapter 6

 9 How long will you lie there, you sluggard?
       When will you get up from your sleep?
 10 A little sleep, a little slumber,
       a little folding of the hands to rest-

 11 and poverty will come on you like a bandit
       and scarcity like an armed man.

Proverbs chapter 6
 6 Go to the ant, you sluggard;
       consider its ways and be wise!
 7 It has no commander,
       no overseer or ruler,
 8 yet it stores its provisions in summer
       and gathers its food at harvest.
