Admonition to Trust and Honor God
My child, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments,
-
Do not let loyalty and faithfulness forsake you; bind them around your neck; write them on the tablet of your heart.
-
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight.
-
he taught me and said to me, “Let your heart hold fast my words; keep my commandments and live.
-
Do not let them escape from your sight; keep them within your heart.
-
Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.
-
and you say, “Oh, how I hated discipline, and my heart despised reproof!
-
a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that hurry to run to evil,
-
Bind them upon your heart always; tie them around your neck.
-
Do not desire her beauty in your heart, and do not let her capture you with her eyelashes,
-
bind them on your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart.
-
Do not let your hearts turn aside to her ways; do not stray into her paths.
-
The wise of heart will heed commandments, but one with foolish lips will come to ruin.
-
Anxiety weighs down the human heart, but a good word cheers it up.
-
Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life.
-
The heart knows its own bitterness, and no stranger shares its joy.
-
Even in laughter the heart is sad, and the end of joy is grief.
-
Wisdom is at home in the mind of one who has understanding, but it is not known in the heart of fools.
-
Sheol and Abaddon lie open before the Lord; how much more human hearts!
-
A glad heart makes a cheerful countenance, but by sorrow of heart the spirit is broken.
-
All the days of the poor are hard, but a cheerful heart has a continual feast.
-
The light of the eyes rejoices the heart, and good news refreshes the body.
-
The wise of heart is called perceptive, and pleasant speech increases persuasiveness.
