He's watching you!
Proverbs 15 (NRSV)
1 A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
3 The eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good.
8 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord, but the prayer of the upright is His delight.
9 The way of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord, but He loves the one who pursues righteousness.
15 All the days of the poor are hard, but a cheerful heart has a continual feast.
16 Better is a little with the fear of the Lord than great treasure and trouble with it.
17 Better is a dinner of vegetables where love is than a fatted ox and hatred with it.
19 The way of the lazy is overgrown with thorns, but the path of the upright is a level highway.
21 Folly is a joy to one who has no sense, but a person of understanding walks straight ahead.
24 For the wise the path of life leads upward, in order to avoid Sheol below.
28 The mind of the righteous ponders how to answer, but the mouth of the wicked pours out evil.
29 The Lord is far from the wicked, but He hears the prayer of the righteous.
32 Those who ignore instruction despise themselves, but those who heed admonition gain understanding.
