Wealth, beauty and fame

Ezekiel 16:9-14 

9 “‘I bathed you with water and washed the blood from you and put ointments on you. 

10 I clothed you with an embroidered dress and put leather sandals on you. I dressed you in fine linen and covered you with costly garments. 

11 I adorned you with jewelry: I put bracelets on your arms and a necklace around your neck, 

12 and I put a ring on your nose, earrings on your ears and a beautiful crown on your head. 

13 So you were adorned with gold and silver; your clothes were of fine linen and costly fabric and embroidered cloth. Your food was fine flour, honey and olive oil. You became very beautiful and rose to be a queen. 

14 And your fame spread among the nations on account of your beauty, because the splendor I had given you made your beauty perfect, declares the Sovereign LORD.

First revival under Jehoshaphat

2 Chronicles 17:7-9 

7 In the third year of his reign he sent his officials Ben-Hail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel and Micaiah to teach in the towns of Judah. 

8 With them were certain Levites—Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah and Tob-Adonijah—and the priests Elishama and Jehoram. 

9 They taught throughout Judah, taking with them the Book of the Law of the LORD; they went around to all the towns of Judah and taught the people.

The Lazy Man

Proverbs 24:30-34 

30 I went past the field of the sluggard, past the vineyard of the man who lacks judgment;

31 thorns had come up everywhere, the ground was covered with weeds, and the stone wall was in ruins.

32 I applied my heart to what I observed and learned a lesson from what I saw:

33 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest—

34 and poverty will come on you like a bandit and scarcity like an armed man.
Two of the same kind

Proverbs 29:22 
An angry man stirs up dissension, and a hot-tempered one commits many sins.
