Prov 14.15-26
The simple believes everything,
but the prudent looks where he is going.
A wise man is cautious and turns away from evil,
but a fool throws off restraint and is careless.
A man of quick temper acts foolishly,
but a man of discretion is patient.
The simple acquire folly,
but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
The evil bow down before the good,
the wicked at the gates of the righteous.
The poor is disliked even by his neighbor,
but the rich has many friends.
He who despises his neighbor is a sinner,
but happy is he who is kind to the poor.
Do they not err that devise evil?
Those who devise good meet loyalty and faithfulness.
In all toil there is profit,
but mere talk tends only to want.
The crown of the wise is their wisdom,
but folly is the garland of fools.
A truthful witness saves lives,
but one who utters lies is a betrayer.
In the fear of the LORD one has strong confidence,
and his children will have a refuge.
Gen 12.1-7
Now the LORD said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you. And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and him who curses you I will curse; and by you all the families of the earth shall bless themselves.” So Abram went, as the LORD had told him; and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran. And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother’s son, and all their possessions which they had gathered, and the persons that they had gotten in Haran; and they set forth to go to the land of Canaan. When they had come to the land of Canaan, Abram passed through the land to the place at Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. At that time the Canaanites were in the land. Then the LORD appeared to Abram, and said, “To your descendants I will give this land.” So he built there an altar to the LORD, who had appeared to him. ');
