Jno. 7. 17. 7 Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge. Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you. Mat. 7.6. 8 The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools is deceit. Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing and a wise man's heart discerneth both time and judgment. Ec. 8. 5. : 9 Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is fa vour. Howbeit I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, rising early, and sending them, saying. Oh, do not this abominable thing that I hate. But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense unto other gods. Je. 44. 4, 5. 10 The heart knoweth his own bitterness and a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but 2.11. the Spirit of God. 1 Co. 11 The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish. He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure. Job 8. 15.

What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. Ro. 6. 21. 13 Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness. 15 The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going. Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits, whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Jno. 4. 1. And by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple. Ro. 16. 18. 16 A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil; but the fool rageth, and is confident. Abstain from all appear I said in mine heart, Go to now, I will prove thee with mirth, therefore enjoy plea-ance of evil. 1 Th. 5. 22. sure: and, behold, this also is vanity. I said of laughter, It is mad and of mirth, What doeth it? Ec. 2. 1, 2. 14 The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself. They consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now their own doings have beset them 17 He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly; and a man of wicked devices is hated. 18 The simple inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge. 19 The evil bow before the good; and the wicked at the gates of the righteous. 20 The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich hath many friends. 21 He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he. Blessed is he that consider eth the poor: the Lord will deliver him in time of troupersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever: his horn shall be exalted with honour. Ps. 112. 9.- For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. He. 6. 10. ble.

When lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. Ja. 1. 15.[Judas] cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself. Mat. 27. 5. It was in the heart of Dafor the name of the Lord God vid my father to build a house of Israel. And the Lord said unto David my father, Whereas it was in thine heart to build a house unto my name, thou didst well that it was in thine heart, 1 Ki. 8. 17, 18. 23 In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury. In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. Ge. 3. 19. Why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? Lu. 6. 46.-Thou art near in their mouth, and far from their reins. Je. 12. 2. Man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish. This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Ps. 49. 12, 13. 25 A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful witness speaketh lies. Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee. 1 Ti. 4. 16. The prophets prophesy false ly, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof? Je. 5. 31. 26 In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence and his children shall have a place of refuge. Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me. Ge. 22. 12. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear; because fear hath tor ment. He that feareth, is not made perfect in love. 1 Jno. 4. 18. 27 The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death. Whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst: but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. Jno. 4. 14. 28 In the multitude of people is the king's honour: but in the want of people is the destruction of the prince. Judah and Israel were many, as the sand which is by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking, and making merry. And Solomon reigned over all kingdoms from the river unto the land of the Philistines, and unto the border of Egypt; they brought presents, and served Solomon all the days of his life. 1 Ki. 4. 20, 21. 29 He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he exalteth folly. that is hasty of spirit | his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor. Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps : who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: who, when he was reviled, reviled not again: when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously. 1 Pe. 2. 21-23. God said to Jonah, Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, even unto death. Jon. 4. 9. 30 A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones. Saul eyed David from that day and forward. And Saul was afraid of David, because the Lord was with him, and was departed from Saul. And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul became David's enemy continually. I Sa. 18. 9, 12, 29.Where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. Ja. 3. 16. The poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land. De. 15. 11. Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world, rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him? Ja. 2. 5. Ye have the poor always always. Mat. 26. 11. with yon: but me ye have not 32 The wicked is driven away in his wickedness but the righteous hath hope in his death.

Ps. 39. 7.- Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ. Tit. 2. 13.
