Proverbs 19:22-26 – What a person desires is unfailing love;
better to be poor than a liar. The fear of the Lord leads to life; then one rests
content, untouched by trouble. A sluggard buries his hand in the
dish; he will not even bring it back to his mouth! Flog a
mocker, and the simple will learn prudence; rebuke the discerning, and they will gain knowledge.
Whoever robs their father and drives out their mother is a child who
brings shame and disgrace.
Proverbs
1:7 – The fear of
the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but
fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Proverbs 3:1-2 – My son, do not
forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart,
for they will prolong your life many years and bring you peace and
prosperity.
Isaiah 51:18 – Among all the children she bore there was none to guide her; among
all the children she reared there was none to take her by the hand.
