TWO-EDGED SWORD

Refrain thy foot from the sinner's path; Ponder the path of thy feet; Understand every good path; Take hold of the paths of life; Walk in the way of good, Acknowledge the LORD, and He shall direct thy paths; He will lead you in right paths; the path of the just is as a shining light; In the midst of the paths of judgement. I have refrained my feet from every evil way.

A Prudent man forseeth the evil, 
and hideth himself.
Proverbs 22:3; 27:12

Honour your Maker, Have mercy on the poor; Give your bread to the poor; Rob not the poor; Relieve the oppressed; Faithfully judge the poor; Have pity on the poor; Despise the gain of oppressions; Open your ears to the cry of the poorHe that giveth to the poor shall not lack; Consider the cause of the poor.

Rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee; Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser; A wise man will hear, and increase learning; A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil; confess and forsake your sins; reproof enters into a wise man; a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels; a man of understanding hath wisdom; a man of understanding holdeth his peace; a man of understanding walketh uprightly; a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit; he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding; a man of understanding draws counsel out of hearts. 

Cease from thine own wisdom; Be not wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD, Depart from evil; Wisdom is the principal thing; Apply thine heart to Wisdom, Knowledge and Instruction; Honour the LORD, Let not thine heart envy sinners; Humility; Integrity; The Counsel of the LORD; Take fast hold of Instruction; Wait on the LORD; Guide thine heart in the way; Good Blessing; Buy the Truth, sell it not; Follow after righteousness and mercy; Whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be Safe. Trust in the LORD with all thine heart. Every word of God is Pure: He is a Shield unto them that put their trust in HIM.

They that seek the LORD understand all things; Understanding shall keep thee; Find the Knowledge of God; Find Favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man; Whoso findeth Wisdom findeth Life; He that handleth a matter wisely shall find Good; Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing. He that keepeth Understanding shall find Good. Search for Wisdom as for hid treasures; The ear of the wise seeketh Knowledge; Keep understanding, sound wisdom and discretion; Discretion shall preserve thee; Defer anger; Seek Good doctrine, Peace, Prudence, Uprightness, Favour, Good Understanding; With all thy getting get Understanding; Cease from strife. All my ways are before Thee.

Get Wisdom: Let thine heart retain my words; Walk uprightly; Keep thy heart with all diligence; Love not sleep; Hear the Reproof of life, Instruction, Correction; Hate evil, Refuse the evil; Choose the Good; Love pureness of heart. He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city. He that is slow to anger appeaseth strife; A gift in secret pacifieth anger; Anger is outrageous; Depart from the snares of death; Depart from hell beneath; By the fear of the LORD men depart from evil; Devise good.

Wise men turn away wrath; Shew thyself friendly; Be not hasty in your words; Delicately bring up your child; Pride will bring you low; The fear of man bringeth a snare; Remove far from me vanity and lies; The forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.

------------------------
Because I have called, and ye refused; He that refuseth reproof erreth; He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul; Despise not the chastening of the LORD, neither be weary of his correction; Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way
------------------------
He that regardeth reproof shall be honoured; Hear Instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not; He that heareth reproof getteth understanding; the slothful's hands refuse to labor.

The candle of the wicked shall be put out; Calamity shall arise suddenly; A fool returneth to his folly; The kisses of an enemy are deceitful; They that forsake the law praise the wicked; When the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn; If a ruler hearkens to lies, all his servants are wicked; The thought of foolishess is sin.
