(ahhhh-ooh) The proverbs of Solomon,
lessons untold, A wise son makes a father’s heart bold.
A foolish son, with sorrow’s embrace,
Brings grief to his mother,
leaves a trace.
Treasures of wickedness
do not last, But righteousness delivers,
unsurpassed.
(ooh yeah)
Blessings on the head of the just,
The mouth of the wicked,
an empty thrust. The memory of the righteous,
forever blessed, The name of the wicked fades and rests.
Lazy hands
make a man poor,
But diligence brings riches,
more and more. The wise gather
in harvest’s light,
A son who sleeps
brings shame at night.
Whoever walks in integrity,
security’s sure, But crooked paths lead to ropes obscure.
The mouth of the righteous,
a fountain of life,
But violence cloaks the wicked in strife.
Hatred stirs up conflict,
love hides all wrong,
Wisdom on the lips to those who belong.
(hallelujah, yeah, yeah)
Heavenly Father,
as we walk through the proverbs,
we learn the value of righteousness and wisdom.
Jesus, deliver us from the cravings of wickedness.
Thank You for Your life-giving words.
Guide us to
walk in righteousness.
In Your name,
Amen. (amen)
