The Wise Woman
1 The wise woman builds her house, But the woman of folly tears it down with her own hands. 2 He who walks in his uprightness fears Yahweh, But he who is devious in his ways despises Him. 3 In the mouth of the ignorant fool is a rod of lofty pride, But the lips of the wise will keep them. 4 Where no oxen are, the manger is clean, But much revenue comes by the strength of the ox. 5 A faithful witness will not lie, But a false witness breathes out lies. 6 A scoffer seeks wisdom and finds none, But knowledge is easy to one who has understanding. 7 Leave the presence of a fool, As you have not known lips of knowledge there. 8 The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way, But the folly of fools is deceit. 9 Ignorant fools scoff at guilt, But among the upright there is favor. 10 The heart knows its own bitterness, And a stranger does not share its gladness.
11 The house of the wicked will be destroyed, But the tent of the upright will flourish. 12 There is a way which seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death. 13 Even in laughter the heart may be in pain, And the end of joy may be grief. 14 The one who turns back in his heart will be satisfied with his ways, But a good man will be satisfied with his. 15 The simple believes everything, But the prudent one discerns his steps.
16 A wise man fears and turns away from evil, But a fool gets angry and feels secure. 17 A quick-tempered man acts in folly, And a man of evil schemes is hated. 18 The simple inherit folly, But the prudent are crowned with knowledge. 19 The evil will bow down before the good, And the wicked at the gates of the righteous. 20 The poor is hated even by his neighbor, But those who love the rich are many. 21 He who despises his neighbor sins, But how blessed is he who is gracious to the poor. 22 Will they not wander in error who devise evil? But lovingkindness and truth will be to those who devise good.
23 In all painful labor there is profit, But mere words from the lips lead only to want. 24 The crown of the wise is their riches, But the folly of fools is folly. 25 A truthful witness delivers souls, But he who breathes out lies is deceitful. 26 In the fear of Yahweh there is strong security, And his children will have refuge. 27 The fear of Yahweh is a fountain of life, To turn aside from the snares of death. 28 In a multitude of people is a king’s splendor, But in the dearth of people is a prince’s ruin. 29 He who is slow to anger has great discernment, But he who is quick-tempered raises up folly. 30 A tranquil heart is life to the body, But jealousy is rottenness to the bones. 31 He who oppresses the poor reproaches his Maker, But he who is gracious to the needy honors Him. 32 The wicked is thrust down by his own evil, But the righteous takes refuge even in his death. 33 Wisdom rests in the heart of one who has understanding, But in the midst of fools it is merely made known. 34 Righteousness exalts a nation, But sin is a disgrace to any people. 35 The king’s favor is toward a servant who acts insightfully, But his fury is toward him who acts shamefully. — Proverbs 14 | Legacy Standard Bible (LSB) Legacy Standard Bible Copyright ©2021 by The Lockman Foundation.

"… and my delights were to be with the children of men.
Hear instruction and be wise, and refuse it not.
Now therefore, ye children, hear me: Blessed are they that keep my ways.
Blessed is the man that heareth me, and that watcheth daily at my gates, and waiteth at the posts of my doors.
He that shall find me, shall find life, and shall have salvation from the Lord:
But he that shall sin against me, shall hurt his own soul. All that hate me love death."
Book of Proverbs 8:31-36

"My son, do not forget my teaching,     but let your heart keep my commandments, for length of days and years of life     and peace they will add to you.
Let not steadfast love and faithfulness forsake you;     bind them around your neck;     write them on the tablet of your heart. So you will find favor and good success     in the sight of God and man.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart,     and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him,     and he will make straight your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes;     fear the Lord, and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your flesh     and refreshment to your bones.
Honor the Lord with your wealth     and with the firstfruits of all your produce; then your barns will be filled with plenty,     and your vats will be bursting with wine.
My son, do not despise the Lord's discipline     or be weary of his reproof, for the Lord reproves him whom he loves,     as a father the son in whom he delights.
Blessed is the one who finds wisdom,     and the one who gets understanding, for the gain from her is better than gain from silver     and her profit better than gold. She is more precious than jewels,     and nothing you desire can compare with her. Long life is in her right hand;     in her left hand are riches and honor. Her ways are ways of pleasantness,     and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her;     those who hold her fast are called blessed.
The Lord by wisdom founded the earth;     by understanding he established the heavens; by his knowledge the deeps broke open,     and the clouds drop down the dew.
My son, do not lose sight of these—     keep sound wisdom and discretion, and they will be life for your soul     and adornment for your neck. Then you will walk on your way securely,     and your foot will not stumble. If you lie down, you will not be afraid;     when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet. Do not be afraid of sudden terror     or of the ruin of the wicked, when it comes, for the Lord will be your confidence     and will keep your foot from being caught. Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,     when it is in your power to do it.
Do not say to your neighbor, “Go, and come again,     tomorrow I will give it”—when you have it with you. Do not plan evil against your neighbor,     who dwells trustingly beside you. Do not contend with a man for no reason,     when he has done you no harm. Do not envy a man of violence     and do not choose any of his ways, for the devious person is an abomination to the Lord,     but the upright are in his confidence. The Lord's curse is on the house of the wicked,     but he blesses the dwelling of the righteous. Toward the scorners he is scornful,     but to the humble he gives favor. The wise will inherit honor,     but fools get disgrace."
- Proverbs, chapter 3

WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO MAKE YOU HAPPY?
In this age of technology those of us who are Christians often look at our “friends” facebook posts and make comparisons to our own life.
