Proverbs 13 / Wisdom (and Ezekiel 7)

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 

Ezekiel 7

 

5 Thus saith the Lord GOD; An evil, an only evil, behold, is come.

 

6 An end is come, the end is come: it watcheth for thee; behold, it is come.

 

7 The morning is come unto thee, O thou that dwellest in the land: the time is come, the day of trouble is near, and not the sounding again of the mountains.

 

8 Now will I shortly pour out MY fury upon thee, and accomplish MINE anger upon thee: and I will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense thee for all thine abominations.

 

9 And MINE eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will recompense thee according to thy ways and thine abominations that are in the midst of thee; and ye shall know that I am the LORD that smiteth.

1 Thessalonians 5

 

1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.

 

2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

 

3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

 

4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

 

5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

 

6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

 

7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.

 

8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.

 

9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, (The Word of God, The Holy Scriptures)

Proverbs 13

 

1 A wise son heareth his father's instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke.

 

2 A man shall eat good by the fruit of HIS mouth: but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence.

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

 

4 The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.

 

(sluggard:  idle; loafer; habitually inactive or lazy; slow moving person who is likely to fall asleep in class.)

 

5 A righteous man hateth lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame.

 

6 Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.

 

7 There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.

 

8 The ransom of a man's life are his riches: but the poor heareth not rebuke.

 

9 The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.

 

10 Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.

 

11 Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase.

 

12 Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.

 

13 Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.

 

14 The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.

 

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

 

16 Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open his folly.

 

17 A wicked messenger falleth into mischief: but a faithful ambassador is health.

 

18 Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.

 

19 The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil.

 

20 He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.

 

21 Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repayed.

 

22 A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.

 

23 Much food is in the tillage of the poor: but there is that is destroyed for want of judgment.

 

24 He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

 

25 The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul: but the belly of the wicked shall want.

It will get much worse in the days ahead on this earth.

 

No wonder Jesus said:  For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

 

22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.  (Mt. 24:21-22)

 

We must learn to operate in God's wisdom, obeying the Holy Scriptures.

 

Joshua 1:8  This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
