will enlighten us as to what kind of name the leaders of this nation
have. Convict them of their evil ways of selling this nations
sovereignty and the sovereignty of our lives for money worshipping
reasons.
A
Good Name; Whom Shall I Fear
Proverbs
22 New
International Version
A good
name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver
or gold.
Rich
and poor have this in common: The Lord is the Maker of them all.
The
prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and pay the
penalty.
Humility
is the fear of the Lord; its wages are riches and honor and life.
In the
paths of the wicked are snares and pitfalls, but those who would preserve their
life stay far from them.
Start
children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will
not turn from it.
The
rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is slave to the lender.
Whoever
sows injustice reaps calamity, and the rod they wield in fury will be broken.
The
generous will themselves be blessed, for they share their food with the poor.
Drive
out the mocker, and out goes strife; quarrels and insults are ended.
One
who loves a pure heart and who speaks with grace will have the king for a
friend.
The
eyes of the Lord keep watch over knowledge, but he frustrates the words
of the unfaithful.
The
sluggard says, “There’s a lion outside! I’ll be killed in the public square!”
The
mouth of an adulterous woman is a deep pit; a man who is under the Lord’s wrath falls into it.
Folly
is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline will drive it
far away.
One
who oppresses the poor to increase his wealth and one who gives gifts to the
rich—both come to poverty.
Thirty
Sayings of the Wise
Saying 1
Pay
attention and turn your ear to the sayings of the wise; apply your heart to
what I teach, for
it is pleasing when you keep them in your heart and gave all of them ready on
your lips.
So that your trust may be in the Lord, I teach you today, even you.
Have I not written thirty sayings for you, sayings of counsel and knowledge, teaching you to be honest and to speak the truth, so that you bring back truthful reports to those you serve?

not exploit the poor because they are poor and do not crush the needy in court,

Do
not make friends with a hot-tempered person, do not associate with one easily
angered, or

very bed will be snatched from under you.

you see someone skilled in their work? They will serve before kings; they will

When
you sit to dine with a ruler, note well what is before you, and put a knife to your throat if

Saying 8
Do not
wear yourself out to get rich; do not trust your own cleverness.
Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone, for they will surely sprout wings and fly off to the sky like an eagle.
Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone, for they will surely sprout wings and fly off to the sky like an eagle.
Saying 9
Do not
eat the food of a begrudging host, do not crave his delicacies; for he is the kind of person who
is always thinking about the cost. “Eat and drink,” he says to you, but
his heart is not with you.
You
will vomit up the little you have eaten and will have wasted your compliments.
Saying 10
Do not
speak to fools, for they will scorn your prudent words.
Saying
11
Do
not move an ancient boundary stone or encroach on the fields of the fatherless,

Defender is strong; he will take up their case against you.

12
Apply
your heart to instruction and your ears to words of knowledge.

There is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off.
There is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off.
Saying
16
Listen,
my son, and be wise, and set your heart on the right path: Do not join those who drink
too much wine or gorge themselves on meat, for drunkards and gluttons
become poor, and drowsiness clothes them in rags.
Saying
17
Listen
to your father, who gave you life, and do not despise your mother when she is
old.
Buy the truth and do not sell it— wisdom, instruction and insight as well.
The father of a righteous child has great joy; a man who fathers a wise son rejoices in him.
Buy the truth and do not sell it— wisdom, instruction and insight as well.
The father of a righteous child has great joy; a man who fathers a wise son rejoices in him.
May
your father and mother rejoice; may she who gave you birth be joyful!
Saying
18
My
son, give me your heart and let your eyes delight in my ways, for an adulterous woman is a
deep pit, and a wayward wife is a narrow well.
Like a bandit she lies in wait and multiplies the unfaithful among men.
Like a bandit she lies in wait and multiplies the unfaithful among men.
Saying
19
Who
has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has strife? Who has complaints? Who has needless
bruises? Who has bloodshot eyes?
Those who linger over wine, who go to sample bowls of mixed wine.
Do not gaze at wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup, when it goes down smoothly!
In the end it bites like a snake and poisons like a viper.
Your eyes will see strange sights, and your mind will imagine confusing things.
You will be like one sleeping on the high seas, lying on top of the rigging.
“They hit me,” you will say, “but I’m not hurt! They beat me, but I don’t feel it! then will I wake up so I can find another drink?”

Saying 20
Do not
envy the wicked, do not desire their company; for their hearts plot violence,
and their lips talk about making trouble.
Saying 21
By
wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established; through knowledge its rooms are
filled with rare and beautiful treasures.

The
wise prevail through great power, and those who have knowledge muster their

Wisdom
is too high for fools; in the assembly at the gate they must not open their
mouths.

The schemes of folly are sin, and people detest a mocker.

Saying
25
If
you falter in a time of trouble, how small is your strength!
Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter.
If you say, “But we knew nothing about this,” does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who guards your life know it? Will he not repay everyone according to what they have done?
Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter.
If you say, “But we knew nothing about this,” does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who guards your life know it? Will he not repay everyone according to what they have done?
Saying
26
Eat
honey, my son, for it is good; honey from the comb is sweet to your taste.
Know also that wisdom is like honey for you: If you find it, there is a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off.

Saying
27
Do
not lurk like a thief near the house of the righteous, do not plunder their
dwelling place; for though the righteous fall seven times, they rise
again, but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes.
Saying
28
Do
not gloat when your enemy falls; when they stumble, do not let your heart
rejoice, or
the Lord will see and disapprove and turn his wrath away from
them.
Saying
29
Do
not fret because of evildoers or be envious of the wicked, for the evildoer has no future
hope, and the lamp of the wicked will be snuffed out.
Saying
30
Fear
the Lord and the king, my son, and do not join with rebellious
officials, for
those two will send sudden destruction on them, and who knows what calamities
they can bring?
Further
Sayings of the Wise
These
also are sayings of the wise: To show partiality in judging is not good: Whoever says to the guilty,
“You are innocent,” will be cursed by peoples and denounced by nations.
But it will go well with those who convict the guilty, and rich blessing will come on them.
But it will go well with those who convict the guilty, and rich blessing will come on them.
An
honest answer is like a kiss on the lips.
Put
your outdoor work in order and get your fields ready; after that, build your
house.
Do
not testify against your neighbor without cause— would you use your lips to
mislead? Do
not say, “I’ll do to them as they have done to me; I’ll pay them back for what
they did.”
I
went past the field of a sluggard, past the vineyard of someone who has no
sense; thorns
had come up everywhere, the ground was covered with weeds, and the stone wall
was in ruins.
I applied my heart to what I observed and learned a lesson from what I saw:
A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest— and poverty will come on you like a thief and scarcity like an armed man.

Remember
this as you do The Lord’s work in your daily actions: God Will Make a Way
We Claim
these things with the Power in the Names of Jesus; The Christ; The Messiah.
Amen.
