Good understanding gives favor, but the way of traitors is ever flowing.

The way of the sluggard is like a hedge of thorns, but the way of the upright is a highway.

know and understand that Jehovah your God will no longer dispossess these nations before you. But they shall be snares and traps to you, and scourges on your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from this good land which Jehovah your God has given to you.

For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walks into a netting.

Upon the wicked He will rain snares, fire and brimstone; and a horrible tempest shall be the portion of their cup.

with the pure You will show Yourself pure; and with the crooked You will show Yourself twisted.

For You will save the lowly people, but will bring down lofty looks.

He who watches his mouth keeps his life; he who opens his lips wide shall have destruction.

The way of the upright is to turn away from evil; he who keeps his way guards his soul.

He who keeps the Commandment keeps his own soul; he who despises His ways shall die.

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the evil does not touch him.

But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,

keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
