My favs of ch 14...
2 An honest life shows respect for God; a degenerate life is a slap in his face.
6 Cynics look high and low for wisdom—and never find it; the open-minded find it right on their doorstep!
9 The stupid ridicule right and wrong, but a moral life is a favored life.
I particularly like this one:
10 The person who shuns the bitter moments of friends will be an outsider at their celebrations.
This one is so true!! I see so many babylost moms whose family and friends have turned their backs on them. It's so sad.
16 The wise watch their steps and avoid evil; fools are headstrong and reckless.
21 It's criminal to ignore a neighbor in need, but compassion for the poor—what a blessing!
34 God-devotion makes a country strong; God-avoidance leaves people weak.
Verse 34 proves to me that we need God in our country!
