Teach Yourself

Proverbs 6:6-11

The Folly of Indolence
   Go to the ant, you sluggard!
 Consider her ways and be wise,
  Which, having no captain,
 Overseer or ruler,
  Provides her supplies in the summer,
 And gathers her food in the harvest.
  How long will you slumber, O sluggard?
 When will you rise from your sleep?
  A little sleep, a little slumber,
 A little folding of the hands to sleep—
  So shall your poverty come on you like a prowler,
 And your need like an armed man.

A Prudent Heart

Proverbs 16:20-24

He who heeds the word wisely will find good,
 And whoever trusts in the Lord, happy is he.
  The wise in heart will be called prudent,
 And sweetness of the lips increases learning.
  Understanding is a wellspring of life to him who has it.
 But the correction of fools is folly.
  The heart of the wise teaches his mouth,
 And adds learning to his lips.
  Pleasant words are like a honeycomb,
 Sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.
