Careful

Be careful that no one entices you by riches; do not let a large bribe turn you aside.

I will be careful to live a blameless life—when will you come to help me? I will lead a life of integrity in my own home.

Because you have satisfied me, God, I promise to do everything you say. I beg you from the bottom of my heart: smile, be gracious to me just as you promised. When I took a long, careful look at your ways, I got my feet back on the trail you blazed. I was up at once, didn't drag my feet, was quick to follow your orders.

Dear friend, do what I tell you; treasure my careful instructions. Do what I say and you'll live well. My teaching is as precious as your eyesight—guard it! Write it out on the back of your hands; etch it on the chambers of your heart. Talk to Wisdom as to a sister. Treat Insight as your companion.

Careful words make for a careful life; careless talk may ruin everything,

Careful planning puts you ahead in the long run;

Job 36:18 Psalm 101:2 Psalm 119:57 Proverbs 7:1 Proverbs 13:3 Proverbs 21:5

The idol of self is a sorry substitute for God.
