[Lectio1] Lesson from the book of Proverbs !Prov 10:1-5 1 A wise son maketh the father glad: but a foolish son is the sorrow of his mother. 2 Treasures of wickedness shall profit nothing: but justice shall deliver from death. 3 The Lord will not afflict the soul of the just with famine, and he will disappoint the deceitful practices of the wicked. 4 The slothful hand hath wrought poverty: but the hand of the industrious getteth riches. He that trusteth to lies feedeth the winds: and the same runneth after birds that fly away. 5 He that gathered in the harvest is a wise son: but he that snorteth in the summer, is the son of confusion. [Lectio2] !Prov 10:6-10 6 The blessing of the Lord is upon the head of the just: but iniquity covereth the mouth of the wicked. 7 The memory of the just is with praises: and the name of the wicked shall rot. 8 The wise of heart receiveth precepts: a fool is beaten with lips. 9 He that walketh sincerely, walketh confidently: but he that perverteth his ways, shall be manifest. 10 He that winketh with the eye shall cause sorrow: and the foolish in lips shall be beaten. [Lectio3] !Prov 10:11-16 11 The mouth of the just is a vein of life: and the mouth of the wicked covereth iniquity. 12 Hatred stirreth up strifes: and charity covereth all sins. 13 In the lips of the wise is wisdom found: and a rod on the back of him that wanteth sense. 14 Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the fool is next to confusion. 15 The substance of a rich man is the city of his strength: the fear of the poor is their poverty. 16 The work of the just is unto life: but the fruit of the wicked, unto sin.
