Proverbs (Part X) give health

Each heart knows its own bitterness, and no one else can share its joy. (14:10)

Even in laughter the heart may ache, and joy may end in grief. (14:13)

A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. (17:22)

A man's spirit sustains him in sickness, but a crushed spirit who can bear? (18:14)

A cheerful look brings joy to the heart; and good news gives health to the bones. (15:30)

Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him. (30:5)

...give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread. Otherwise I may have too much and disown you and say, "Who is Yahweh?" Or I may become poor and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God. (30:8b-9)

Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy. (31:8,9)

A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. (30:10,11)


Proverbs NIV
