3. Guard your words and you’ll guard your life, but if you don’t control your tongue, it will ruin everything. 5. Lovers of God hate what is pony and false, but the wicked are full of shame and behave shamefully. 15. Everyone admires a wise, sensible person, but the treacherous walk on the path of ruin.

Proverbs 13:18 TPT [18] Poverty and disgrace come to the one who refuses to hear criticism. But the one who is easy to correct is on the path of honor.

“Just be who you are and work hard for a living, for that’s better than pretending to be important and starving to death.”

1. To learn the truth you must long to be teachable, or you can desire correction and remain ignorant. 2. If your heart is right, favor flows from the Lord, but a devious heart invites His condemnation. 3. You can’t expect success by doing what’s wrong. But the lives of His lovers are deeply rooted and firmly planted.

11. The teachings of the lovers of God are like living truth flowing from the fountain of life, but the words of the wicked hide an ulterior motive.
