Proverbs 18:10, 15, 19-24

Proverbs 18:10 MSG

GOD’s name is a place of protection— good people can run there and be safe.

Proverbs 18:15 MSG

Wise men and women are always learning, always listening for fresh insights.

Proverbs 18:19-24 MSG

Do a favor and win a friend forever; nothing can untie that bond. Words satisfy the mind as much as fruit does the stomach; good talk is as gratifying as a good harvest. Words kill, words give life; they’re either poison or fruit—you choose. Find a good spouse, you find a good life— and even more: the favor of GOD! The poor speak in soft supplications; the rich bark out answers. Friends come and friends go, but a true friend sticks by you like family.
