If they say, “Come along with us; let’s lie in wait for innocent blood, let’s ambush some harmless soul;
-
turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding—
-
For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.

Wisdom Bestows Well-Being
My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart,
-
Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.
-
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
-
Then he taught me, and he said to me, “Take hold of my words with all your heart; keep my commands, and you will live.
-
Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart;
-
Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.
-
You will say, “How I hated discipline! How my heart spurned correction!
-
who plots evil with deceit in his heart— he always stirs up conflict.
-
a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil,
-
Bind them always on your heart; fasten them around your neck.
-
Do not lust in your heart after her beauty or let her captivate you with her eyes.
-
Bind them on your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart.
-
Do not let your heart turn to her ways or stray into her paths.
-
You who are simple, gain prudence; you who are foolish, set your hearts on it.
-
The wise in heart accept commands, but a chattering fool comes to ruin.
-
The tongue of the righteous is choice silver, but the heart of the wicked is of little value.
-
The Lord detests those whose hearts are perverse, but he delights in those whose ways are blameless.
-
Deceit is in the hearts of those who plot evil, but those who promote peace have joy.
-
The prudent keep their knowledge to themselves, but a fool’s heart blurts out folly.
-
Anxiety weighs down the heart, but a kind word cheers it up.
-
Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.
-
A longing fulfilled is sweet to the soul, but fools detest turning from evil.
