Souls who follow their hearts thrive; fools bent on evil despise matters of soul.
"Marry and have children. Encourage your children to marry and have children so that you'll thrive in that country and not waste away.
8-9Then God said: "Here's what I want you to do: Climb into the hills and cut some timber. Bring it down and rebuild the Temple. Do it just for me. Honor me. You've had great ambitions for yourselves, but nothing has come of it. The little you have brought to my Temple I've blown away—there was nothing to it. 9-11"And why?" "Because while you've run around, caught up with taking care of your own houses, my Home is in ruins. That's why. Because of your stinginess. And so I've given you a dry summer and a skimpy crop. I've matched your tight-fisted stinginess by decreeing a season of drought, drying up fields and hills, withering gardens and orchards, stunting vegetables and fruit. Nothing—not man or woman, not animal or crop—is going to thrive."
How wonderful and beautiful they will be! The young men will thrive on abundant grain, and the young women will flourish on new wine.
