THERE ARE THREE SOLEMN DIGNITARIES, FOUR THAT ARE IMPRESSIVE IN THEIR BEARING-- A LION, KING OF THE BEAST,DEFERRING  TO NONE, A ROASTER, PROUD AND STUNNING; A BILLY GOAT. A HEAD OF STATE IN STATELY PROCESSION. IF YOU ARE DUMB ENOUGH TO CALL ATTENTION TO YOURSELF BY OFFENDING PEOPLE AND MAKING RUDE GESTURES.DON'T BE SURPRISED IF SOME ONE BLOODIES YOUR NOSE. CHURNED MILK TURNS INTO BUTTER;ILED EMOTIONS TURN INTO FIST FIGHTS..

FOR PEOPLE WHO HATE DISCIPLINE AND ONLY GET MORE STUBBORN,THERE WILL COME A DAY WHEN LIFE TUMBLES IN AND THEY BREAK..  BUT WHEN THE RULER IS BAD, EVERYONE GROANS. IF YOU LOVE WISDOM, YOU WILL DELIGHT  YOUR  PARENTS, BUT YOU WILL DESTROY THEIR TRUST IF YOU RUN WITH WHORES..A LEADERS OF GOOD JUDGEMENT GIVES  STABILITY; AN EXPLOTING LEADERS LEAVES A TRAIL OF WASTE.A FLATTERING NEIGHBOR IS UP TO NO GOOD; HE'S PROBABELY PLANNING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOU..EVIL PEOPLE FALL INTO THEIR OWN TRAPS; GOOD PEOPLE RUN THE OTHER WAY. GLAD TO ESCAPE.THE GOODHEARTED UNDERSTAND WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE POOR; A GANG OF CYNICS CAN CALM EVERYONE DOWN. A SAGE TRYING TO WORK THINGS OUT WITH A FOOL GETS ONLY SCORN AND SARCASM FOR TROUBLE.. MURDERERS HATE HONEST PEOPLE;MORAL FOLKS ENCOURAGE THEM. A FOOL LETS IT ALL HANG OUT. A SAGE QUIETLY MULLS IT OVER.. WHEN A LEADER LISTENS TO MALICIOUS GOSSIP, ALL THE WORKERS GET INFECTED WITH EVIL. THE POOR AND THEIR ABUSERS HAVE AT LEAST SOMETHING IN COMMON: THEY CAN

YOU USE STEEL TO SHARPEN STEEL.. AND ONE FRIEND SHARPENS ANOTHER.. IF YOU CARE FOR YOUR ORCHARD, YOU WILL ENJOY ITS FRUITS, IF YOU HONOR YOUR BOSS, YOU WILL BE HONORED.. JUST AS WATER MIRRORS YOUR FACE, SO YOUR FACE MIRROR YOUR HEART.. HELL HAS A VORACIOUS APPETITE, AND  LUST JUST NEVER QUITS... THE PURITY OF SILVER AND GOLD IS TESTED BY PUTTING THEM IN THE FIRE; THE PURITY OF HUMAN HEARTS IS TESTED BY GIVING THEM A LITTLE FAME.. POUND ON  A FOOL ALL YOU LIKE-- YOU CAN'T POUND OUT FOOLISHNESSES.. KNOW YOUR SHEEP BY NAME; CAREFULLY ATTEND TO YOUR FLOCKS; DON'T TAKE THEM FOR GRANTED; POSSESSIONS DON'T LAST FOREVER, YOU KNOW AND THEN, WHEN THE CROPS  ARE  IN  AND THE HARVEST IS STORED IN THE BARNS; YOU CAN KNIT A SWEATERS FROM LAMBS; WOOL.(. THIS IS A SERIOUS WORD RITE HERE BETWEEN THE LINES) AND SELL YOUR GOATS FOR A PROFIT; THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF MILK AND MEAT TO LAST YOUR FAMILY THROUGH THE WINTER.. BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE LORD AMEN

DON'T BRASHLY ANNNOUNCE WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO DO TOMORROW; YOU DON'T KNOW THE FIRST THING ABOUT TOMORROW..DON'T CALL ATTENTION TO YOURSELF; LET OTHERS DO THAT FOR YOU.. CARRYING A LOG ACROSS YOUR SHOULDERS WHILE YOU ARE HEFTING A BOULDER WITH YOUR ARMS IS NOTHING COMPARED TO THE BURDEN OF PUTTING UP WITH A FOOL.. WE'RE BLASTED BY ANGER AND SWAMPED BY RAGE; BUT WHO CAN SURVIVE JEALOUSY? A SPOKEN REPRIMAND IS BETTER THAN APPROVAL THAT'S NEVER EXPRESSED.. THE WOUNDS FROM  A LOVER ARE WORTH IT; KISSES FROM AN ENEMY DO YOU IN.. WHEN YOU HAVE STUFFED YOURSELF, YOU REFUSE DESSERT; WHEN YOU ARE STARVED; YOU COULD EAT AN HORSE.. PEOPLE WHO WON'T SETTLE DOWN, WANDERING HITHER AND YON, ARE LIKE RETLESS BIRDS, FLITTING TO AND FRO. JUST AS LOTIONS AND FRAGRANCE GIVE YOU SENSUAL DELIGHTS, A SWEET FRIENDSHIP REFRESHES THE SOUL. DONT LEAVE YOUR FRIENDS OR YOUR PARENTS FRIENDS AND RUN HOME TO YOUR FAMILY WHEN THINGS GET ROUGH.. BETTER A NEARBY FRIEND THAN DISTANCE FAMILY... BEC

A BONANZA AT THE BEGINNING IS NO GUARENTEE OF BLESSING AT THE END... DON'T EVER SAY, I WILL GET YOU FOR THAT! WAIT FOR GOD; HE WILL SETTLE THE SCORE.. GOD HATES CHEATING IN THE MARKET PLACE RIGGED SCALES ARE AN OUTRAGE.. THE VERY STEPS WE TAKE COME FROM GOD; OTHERWISE HOW WOULD WE KNOW WE ARE GOING? AN IMPLUSIVE VOW IS A TRAP; LATER YOU WILL WISH YOU COULD GET OUT OF IT.. AFTER CAREFUL SCRUTINY, A WISE LEADER MAKE A CLEAN SWEEP OF REBELS AND DOLTS. GOD IS IN CHARGE OF HUMAN LIFE.. WATCHING AND EXAMMINING US INSIDE AND OUT.. LOVE AND TRUTH FORM A GOOD LEADER; SOUND LEADERSHIP IS FOUNDED ON LOVING INTEGRITY. YOUTH MAY BE ADMIRED FOR VIGOR, BUT GRAY HAIR GIVES PRESTIEGE TO OLD AGE.. A GOOD THRASHING PURGES EVIL; PUNISHMENT GOES DEEP WITH US.. GOD BLESS YOU AND GOOD NIGHT.. <3<3<3..

EARS THAT HEAR AND THE EYES THAT SEE---WE GET BASIC EQUIPMENT FROM GOD!  DON'T BE TOO FOND OF SLEEP YOU WILL END UP IN THE POORHOUSE.. WAKE UP AND GET UP; THEN THERE'LL BE FOOD ON THE TABEL.. THE SHOPPER SAYS ' THAT'S JUNK-- I WILL TAKE IT OFF YOUR HANDS. DRINKING FROM THE BEAUTIFUL CHALICE OF KNOWLEDGE IS BETTER THAN ADORNING ONESELF WITH GOAL AND RARE GEMS..HOLD TIGHT TO COLLATERAL ON ANY LOAN TO  A STRANGER ,BEWARE  OF ACCEPTING WHAT A TRANSIENT HAS PAWNED. STOLEN BREAD TASTES SWEET. BUT SOON YOUR MOUTH IS FULL OF GRAVEL..FORM YOUR PURPOSE BY ASKING FOR COUNSEL,THEN CARRY IT OUT USING ALL THE HELP YOU CAN GET.GOSSIPS CAN'T KEEP SECRETS, SO NEVER CONFIDE IN BLABBERMOUTHS.. ANYONE WHO CURSES FATHER AND MOTHER EXTINGUISHES   LIGHT AND EXISTS BENIGHTRED!!!

Oh, oh, oh . . . How the Master has cut down Daughter Zion      from the skies, dashed Israel’s glorious city to earth,      in his anger treated his favorite as throwaway junk. 2  The Master, without a second thought, took Israel in one gulp.      Raging, he smashed Judah’s defenses,      made hash of her king and princes. 3  His anger blazing, he knocked Israel flat,      broke Israel’s arm and turned his back just as the enemy approached,      came on Jacob like a wildfire from every direction. 4  Like an enemy, he aimed his bow, bared his sword,      and killed our young men, our pride and joy.      His anger, like fire, burned down the homes in Zion. 5  The Master became the enemy. He had Israel for supper.      He chewed up and spit out all the defenses.      He left Daughter Judah moaning and groaning. 6  He plowed up his old trysting place, trashed his favorite rendezvous.      God wiped out Zion’s memories of feast days and Sabbaths,      angrily sacked kin

Oh, oh, oh . . . How empty the city, once teeming with people.      A widow, this city, once in the front rank of nations,      once queen of the ball, she’s now a drudge in the kitchen. 2  She cries herself to sleep each night, tears soaking her pillow.      No one’s left among her lovers to sit and hold her hand.      Her friends have all dumped her. 3  After years of pain and hard labor, Judah has gone into exile.      She camps out among the nations, never feels at home.      Hunted by all, she’s stuck between a rock and a hard place. 4  Zion’s roads weep, empty of pilgrims headed to the feasts.      All her city gates are deserted, her priests in despair.      Her virgins are sad. How bitter her fate. 5  Her enemies have become her masters. Her foes are living it up      because God laid her low, punishing her repeated rebellions.      Her children, prisoners of the enemy, trudge into exile. 6  All beauty has drained from Daughter Zion’s face.      Her princes

1-2  God ’s Message to Jeremiah when King Zedekiah sent Pashur son of Malkijah and the priest Zephaniah son of Maaseiah to him with this request: “Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, has waged war against us. Pray to God for us. Ask him for help. Maybe God will intervene with one of his famous miracles and make him leave.” 3-7  But Jeremiah said, “Tell Zedekiah: ‘This is the God of Israel’s Message to you: You can say good-bye to your army, watch morale and weapons flushed down the drain. I’m going to personally lead the king of Babylon and the Chaldeans, against whom you’re fighting so hard, right into the city itself. I’m joining their side and fighting against you, fighting all-out, holding nothing back. And in fierce anger. I’m prepared to wipe out the population of this city, people and animals alike, in a raging epidemic. And then I will personally deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, his princes, and any survivors left in the city who haven’t died from disease, been killed, or star

5  The priest Pashur son of Immer was the senior priest in God ’s Temple. He heard Jeremiah preach this sermon. He whipped Jeremiah the prophet and put him in the stocks at the Upper Benjamin Gate of God ’s Temple. The next day Pashur came and let him go. Jeremiah told him, “ God has a new name for you: not Pashur but Danger-Everywhere, because God says, ‘You’re a danger to yourself and everyone around you. All your friends are going to get killed in battle while you stand there and watch. What’s more, I’m turning all of Judah over to the king of Babylon to do whatever he likes with them—haul them off into exile, kill them at whim. Everything worth anything in this city, property and possessions along with everything in the royal treasury—I’m handing it all over to the enemy. They’ll rummage through it and take what they want back to Babylon. 6  “‘And you, Pashur, you and everyone in your family will be taken prisoner into exile—that’s right, exile in Babylon. You’ll die and be buri

1-2  God said to me, “Go, buy a clay pot. Then get a few leaders from the people and a few of the leading priests and go out to the Valley of Ben-hinnom, just outside the Potsherd Gate, and preach there what I tell you. 3-5  “Say, ‘Listen to God ’s Word, you kings of Judah and people of Jerusalem! This is the Message from God -of-the-Angel-Armies, the God of Israel. I’m about to bring doom crashing down on this place. Oh, and will ears ever ring! Doom—because they’ve walked off and left me, and made this place strange by worshiping strange gods, gods never heard of by them, their parents, or the old kings of Judah. Doom—because they have massacred innocent people. Doom—because they’ve built altars to that no-god Baal, and burned their own children alive in the fire as offerings to Baal, an atrocity I never ordered, never so much as hinted at! 6-9  “‘And so it’s payday, and soon’— God ’s Decree!—‘this place will no longer be known as Topheth or Valley of Ben-hinnom, but Massacre Mead

1-2  God told Jeremiah, “Up on your feet! Go to the potter’s house. When you get there, I’ll tell you what I have to say.” 3-4  So I went to the potter’s house, and sure enough, the potter was there, working away at his wheel. Whenever the pot the potter was working on turned out badly, as sometimes happens when you are working with clay, the potter would simply start over and use the same clay to make another pot. 5-10  Then God ’s Message came to me: “Can’t I do just as this potter does, people of Israel?” God ’s Decree! “Watch this potter. In the same way that this potter works his clay, I work on you, people of Israel. At any moment I may decide to pull up a people or a country by the roots and get rid of them. But if they repent of their wicked lives, I will think twice and start over with them. At another time I might decide to plant a people or country, but if they don’t cooperate and won’t listen to me, I will think again and give up on the plans I had for them. 11  “So, te

19-20  God ’s Message to me: “Go stand in the People’s Gate, the one used by Judah’s kings as they come and go, and then proceed in turn to all the gates of Jerusalem. Tell them, ‘Listen, you kings of Judah, listen to God ’s Message—and all you people who go in and out of these gates, you listen! 21-23  “‘This is God ’s Message. Be careful, if you care about your lives, not to desecrate the Sabbath by turning it into just another workday, lugging stuff here and there. Don’t use the Sabbath to do business as usual. Keep the Sabbath day holy, as I commanded your ancestors. They never did it, as you know. They paid no attention to what I said and went about their own business, refusing to be guided or instructed by me. 24-26  “‘But now, take seriously what I tell you. Quit desecrating the Sabbath by busily going about your own work, and keep the Sabbath day holy by not doing business as usual. Then kings from the time of David and their officials will continue to ride through these gat

Judah’s sin is engraved      with a steel chisel, A steel chisel with a diamond point—      engraved on their granite hearts,      engraved on the stone corners of their altars. The evidence against them is plain to see:      sex-and-religion altars and sacred sex shrines Anywhere there’s a grove of trees,      anywhere there’s an available hill. 3-4  “I’ll use your mountains as roadside stands      for giving away everything you have. All your ‘things’ will serve as reparations      for your sins all over the country. You’ll lose your gift of land,      The inheritance I gave you. I’ll make you slaves of your enemies      in a far-off and strange land. My anger is hot and blazing and fierce,      and no one will put it out.” 5-6  God ’s Message: “Cursed is the strong one      who depends on mere humans, Who thinks he can make it on muscle alone      and sets God aside as dead weight. He’s like a tumbleweed on the prairie,      out of touch with the good earth. He lives rootl

Then the word of the Lord came to me: 2  “You must not marry and have sons or daughters in this place.” 3  For this is what the Lord says about the sons and daughters born in this land and about the women who are their mothers and the men who are their fathers: 4  “They will die of deadly diseases. They will not be mourned or buried but will be like dung lying on the ground. They will perish by sword and famine, and their dead bodies will become food for the birds and the wild animals.” 5  For this is what the Lord says: “Do not enter a house where there is a funeral meal; do not go to mourn or show sympathy, because I have withdrawn my blessing, my love and my pity from this people,” declares the Lord . 6  “Both high and low will die in this land. They will not be buried or mourned, and no one will cut themselves or shave their head for the dead. 7  No one will offer food to comfort those who mourn for the dead—not even for a father or a mother—nor will anyone give

WHEN YOU'RE GIVEN A BOX AND CANDY,DON'T GULP IT ALL DOWN; EAT TOO MUCH CHOCOLATE AND YOU'LL MAKE YOURSELF SICK.. AND WHEN YOU FIND A FRIEND, DON'T OUTWEAR YOUR WELCOME; SHOW UP AT ALL HOURS AND HE'LL SOON GET FED UP, ANYONE WHO TELLS LIES AGAINST THE NEIGHBORS IN COURT OR ON THE STREET AS A LOOSE CANNON, TRUSTING A DOUBLE-CROSSER WHEN YOU'RE IN TROUBLE IS LIKE BITING DOWN ON A ABSCESSED TOOTH.!!

LIKE BILLOWING CLOUDS  THAT BRING NO MAN IN THE PERSON WHO TALKS BIG BUT NEVER PRODUCES. PATIENT PERSISTENCE PIERCES THROUGH INDIFFERENCE, GENTLE SPEECH BREAK DOWN RIGID DEFENSES...

GOD DELIGHTS IN CONCEALING THINGS; SCIENTISTS DELIGHT IN DISCOVERING THINGS. LIKE THE HOROZINS FOR  BREADTH AND THE OCEAN FOR DEPTH. THE UNDERSTANDING OF A GOOD LEADER IS  BROAD AND DEEP.. REMOVE IMPURITIES FROM THE SILVER AND THE SILVERSMITH CAN CRAFT A FINE CHALICE. REMOVE THE WICKED FROM LEADERSHIP AND AUTHORITY WILL BE CREDIBLE AND GOD-HONORING.. DON'T WORK YOURSELF INTO THE SPOTLIGHT: DON'T PUSH YOUR WAY INTO THE PLACE OF HONOR THAN FACE HUMILATION BY BE DEMOTED.. DON'T JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS-- THERE MAY BE A PERFECTLY GOOD EXPLINATION FOR WHAT YOU JUST SAW.. IN THE HEAT OF AN ARGUEMENT, DON'T BETRAY CONFIDENCES, WORD IS SURE TO GET TO THE GROUND,AND NO ONE WILL TRUST YOU... THE RIGHT WORD AT THE RIGHT TIME IS LIKE A CUSTOM- - MADE PIECE OF JEWLERY, AND A WISE FRIEND'S TIMELY REPRIMAND IS LIKE A GOLD RING SLIPPED ON YOUR FINGER.. RELIABLE FRIENDS WHO DO WHAT THEY SAY ARE LIKE COOL DRINKS IN SWELTERING HEAT-- REFRESHING!! 

AN HONEST ANSWER IT'S WRONG, VERY WRONG. TO GO ALONG WITH INJUSTICE.  WHOEVER WHITEWASHES THE WICKED GET A BLACK MARK IN THE HISTORY BOOKS.. BUT WHOEVER EXPOSES THE WICKED WILL BE THANKED AND REWARDED.. AN HONEST ANSWER IS LIKE A WARM HUG.. FIRST PLANT YOUR FIELDS; THEN BUILD YOUR BARN.. DON'T TALK ABOUT YOUR NEIGHBORS BEHIND THERE  BACKS ---- NO SLANDER OR GOSSIP, PLEASE.. DON'T SAY TO ANYONE, I'LL MAKE YOU PAY FOR WHAT YOU DID ! ONE DAY I WALKED BY THE FIELD OF AN OLD LAZYBONES, AND THEN I PASSED THE VINYARD OF A LOUT; THEY WERE OVERGROWN WITH WEEDS, THICK WITH THISTLES, ALL THE FENCES BROKEN DOWN. I TOOK A LONG LOOK AND PREACHED ME A SERMON AND I LISTENED. A NAP HERE A NAP THERE, A DAY OFF HERE, A DAY OFF THERE, SIT BACK AND TAKE IT EASY, DO YOU KNOW WHAT COME NEXT? JUST THIS; YOU CAN LOOK FORWARD TO A DIRT POOR LIFE, WITH PROVERTY AS YOUR PERMANENT HOUSE GUEST !!

DON'T ENVY BAD PEOPLE; DON'T EVEN WANT TO BE AROUND THEM. ALL THEY THINK ABOUT IS CAUSING A DISTURBANCE; ALL THEY TALK ABOUT IS MAKING TROUBLE. IT TAKES WISDOM TO BUILD A HOUSE, AND UNDERSTANDING TO SET IT ON A FIRM FOUNDATION; IT TAKES KNOWLEDGE TO FURNISH ITS ROOMS WITH FURNITURE AND BEAUTIFUL DRAPERIES.. IT IS BETTER TO BE WISE THAN STRONG: INTELLIGENCE OUTRANKS MUSCLE ANY DAY.  STRATEGIC PLANNING IS THE KEY TO WARFARE... TO WIN, YOU NEED A LOT OF GOOD COUNSEL.. WISE CONVERSATION IS THE WAY OVER THE HEAD OF FOOLS: IN A SERIOUS DISCUSSION THEY HAVEN'T A CLUE. THE PERSON WHO 'S ALWAYS COOKING UP SOME EVIL SOON GETS A REPUTATION AS A PRINCE OF ROGUES. FOOLS INCUBATE SIN. CYNICS DESECRATE BEAUTY.... BLESSED

10  If you fall to pieces in a crisis,      there wasn’t much to you in the first place. 25 11-12  Rescue the perishing;      don’t hesitate to step in and help. If you say, “Hey, that’s none of my business,”      will that get you off the hook? Someone is watching you closely, you know—      Someone not impressed with weak excuses. 26 13-14  Eat honey, dear child—it’s good for you—      and delicacies that melt in your mouth. Likewise knowledge,      and wisdom for your soul— Get that and your future’s secured,      your hope is on solid rock. 27 15-16  Don’t interfere with good people’s lives;      don’t try to get the best of them. No matter how many times you trip them up,      God-loyal people don’t stay down long; Soon they’re up on their feet,      while the wicked end up flat on their faces. 28 17-18  Don’t laugh when your enemy falls;      don’t crow over his collapse. God might see, and become very provoked,      and then take pity on his plight.
