The Very Tree of Life

13You're blessed when you meet Lady Wisdom, when you make friends with Madame Insight.H835H120H4672H2451H120H6329H8394 14She's worth far more than money in the bank; her friendship is better than a big salary.H5504H2896H5505H3701H8393H2742 15Her value exceeds all the trappings of wealth; nothing you could wish for holds a candle to her.H3368H6443H2656H7737 16With one hand she gives long life, with the other she confers recognition.H753H3117H3225H8040H6239H3519 17Her manner is beautiful, her life wonderfully complete.H1870H1870H5278H5410H7965 18She's the very Tree of Life to those who embrace her. Hold her tight—and be blessed!H6086H2416H2388H833H8551 19With Lady Wisdom, GOD formed Earth; with Madame Insight, he raised Heaven.H3068H2451H3245H776H8394H3559H8064 20They knew when to signal rivers and springs to the surface, and dew to descend from the night skies.H1847H8415H1234H7834H7491H2919

Never Walk Away

21Dear friend, guard Clear Thinking and Common Sense with your life; don't for a minute lose sight of them.H1121H3868H5869H5341H8454H4209 22They'll keep your soul alive and well, they'll keep you fit and attractive.H2416H5315H2580H1621 23You'll travel safely, you'll neither tire nor trip.H3212H1870H983H7272H5062 24You'll take afternoon naps without a worry, you'll enjoy a good night's sleep.H7901H6342H7901H8142H6149 25No need to panic over alarms or surprises, or predictions that doomsday's just around the corner,H3372H6597H6343H7722H7563H935 26Because GOD will be right there with you; he'll keep you safe and sound.H3068H3689H8104H7272H3921 27Never walk away from someone who deserves help; your hand is God's hand for that person.H4513H2896H1167H410H3027H6213 28Don't tell your neighbor, "Maybe some other time," or, "Try me tomorrow," when the money's right there in your pocket.H559H7453H3212H7725H4279H5414H3426 29Don't figure ways of taking advantage of your neighbor when he's sitting there trusting and unsuspecting.H2790H7451H7453H3427H983 30Don't walk around with a chip on your shoulder, always spoiling for a fight.H7378H120H2600H1580H7451 31Don't try to be like those who shoulder their way through life. Why be a bully?H7065H376H2555H977H1870 32"Why not?" you say. Because GOD can't stand twisted souls. It's the straightforward who get his respect.H3868H8441H3068H5475H3477 33GOD's curse blights the house of the wicked, but he blesses the home of the righteous.H3994H3068H1004H7563H1288H5116H6662 34He gives proud skeptics a cold shoulder, but if you're down on your luck, he's right there to help.H3887H3887H5414H2580H6035H6041 35Wise living gets rewarded with honor; stupid living gets the booby prize.H2450H5157H3519H7036H7311H3684
