Life on God's Terms
Death Becomes Life
Proverbs 28:18-20, 26-27The Message (MSG)
18 Walk straight—live well and be saved;
a devious life is a doomed life.
a devious life is a doomed life.
Doing Great Harm in Seemingly Harmless Ways
19 Work your garden—you’ll end up with plenty of food;
play and party—you’ll end up with an empty plate.
play and party—you’ll end up with an empty plate.
20 Committed and persistent work pays off;
get-rich-quick schemes are ripoffs.
get-rich-quick schemes are ripoffs.
26 If you think you know it all, you’re a fool for sure;
real survivors learn wisdom from others.
real survivors learn wisdom from others.
27 Be generous to the poor—you’ll never go hungry;
shut your eyes to their needs, and run a gauntlet of curses.
shut your eyes to their needs, and run a gauntlet of curses.
