BRAGADAYJAH 1601

BRAGADAYJAH 1601 Proverbs 20. 11-20 Righteousness and Wickedness Contrasted. Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right. The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the Lord hath made even both of them. Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread. It is naught, it is naught, sayeth the buyer; but when he is gone his way, then he boasteth. There is gold, and a multitude of rubies; but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel. Take his garment that is surety for a stranger; and take a pledge of him for a strange woman. Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel. Every purpose is established by counsel; and with good advice make war. He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets; therefore, meddle not with him, that flattereth with his lips. Whoso curseth his father, or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness.
