New Testament

Proverbs 14:10-18 The Message (MSG)

10. The person who shuns the bitter moments of friendswill be an outsider at their celebrations.

11. Lives of careless wrongdoing are tumbledown shacks;holy living builds soaring cathedrals.

12-13. There’s a way of life that looks harmless enough;look again—it leads straight to hell.Sure, those people appear to be having a good time,but all that laughter will end in heartbreak.

14. A mean person gets paid back in meanness,a gracious person in grace.

15. The gullible believe anything they’re told;the prudent sift and weigh every word.

16. The wise watch their steps and avoid evil;fools are headstrong and reckless.

17. The hotheaded do things they’ll later regret;the coldhearted get the cold shoulder.

18. Foolish dreamers live in a world of illusion;wise realists plant their feet on the ground.
