<h3>GOD'S CARE FOR THOSE WHO TRY TO DO RIGHT</h3> <div class='poem2'> The curse of the Lord is on the house of the wicked,<br/> But he blesses the home of him who does right.<br/> Surely he scoffs at the scoffers,<br/> But to the modest he ever shows favor.<br/> <br/> The Lord does not let the righteous go hungry,<br/> But he disappoints the desire of the wicked.<br/> The Lord is a stronghold to him who lives rightly,<br/> But he brings destruction to those who do wrong.<br/> <br/> The name of the Lord is a strong tower,<br/> To which the righteous runs and is safe.<br/> Every word of God is true;<br/> He is a shield to those who trust him.<br/> <br/> Say not, "I will be revenged for a wrong";<br/> Wait for the Lord, he will save you.<br/> For the Lord gives wisdom,<br/> From his mouth come knowledge and understanding;<br/> He stores up sound wisdom for the upright,<br/> He is a shield to those who live clean lives,<br/> That he may guard the course of justice,<br/> And protect the way of his faithful ones.<br/> <br/> Reverence for the Lord is the beginning of knowledge,<br/> But the foolish despise wisdom and discipline.<br/> Reverence comes through wise instruction,<br/> And before honor goes modesty.<br/> <br/> Trust in the Lord with all your heart,<br/> Depend not on your own understanding;<br/> In all you do make him your friend,<br/> And he will direct your paths.<br/> <br/> Be not wise in your own eyes.<br/> Revere the Lord, and avoid sin.<br/> Then you will have health of body<br/> And your bones will be refreshed.<br/> <br/> Honor the Lord with your wealth,<br/> <span class="pagenum"><SPAN name="Page_214" id="Page_214">[214]</SPAN></span>With the best of all you receive,<br/> Then your barns will be filled with grain,<br/> And your vats overflow with wine.<br/> <br/> A greedy man stirs up strife,<br/> But he who trusts in the Lord will prosper.<br/> Intrust what you do to the Lord,<br/> Then your plans will succeed.<br/></div> <div style="break-after:column;"></div><br />
