Better to be criticized by a wise person
than to be praised by a fool.
Extortion turns wise people into fools,
and bribes corrupt the heart.
Finishing is better than starting.
Patience is better than pride.
Accept the way God does things,
for who can straighten what he has made crooked?
So I recommend having fun, because there is nothing better for people in this world than to eat, drink, and enjoy life. That way they will experience some happiness along with all the hard work God gives them under the sun.
Better to hear the quiet words of a wise person
than the shouts of a foolish king.
18Better to have wisdom than weapons of war,
but one sinner can destroy much that is good.
Lord God my Father,
May I only have a heart for you, this world is so full of confusion and selfishness. May I be delivered to your peace and speak from your heart, may I finish your work in my life. May we delight together in this place at peace in your control.
In Jesus name I pray,
Amen
