Contrast between the wicked and the evil

Proverbs 17

¹Better is a dry morsel and quietness with it
Than a house full of feasting with strife.

One of my favorite verses!

³ The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold,

⁴ An evildoer listens to wicked lips;
A liar pays attention to a destructive tongue.

(Damn Lord! Damn!)

(Cause this has been happening A LOT lately)

⁵ One who rejoices at disaster will not go unpunished.

Those that laugh when you fall down…those who gossip about, included. The ones who need to ‘keep you’ feelin’ bad by rubbin your face in it…

⁷ Excellent speech is not fitting for a fool,
Much less are lying lips to a prince.

So if ya lyin’…you ain’t even a Prince! (Excellent speech doesn’t mean …grammar folks.)

¹⁰ A rebuke goes deeper into one who has understanding
Than a hundred blows into a fool.

The Spirit of Understanding, the Spirit of Compassion, The Holy Spirit, amen and hallelujah!😁
