Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors is hard.

The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made plain.

Know for a certainty that the LORD your God will no more drive out any of these nations from before you; but they shall be snares and traps unto you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you.

For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare.

Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.

With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.

For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.

He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.

The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.

He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die.

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.

But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,

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