PROVERBS CHAPTER 22.
V. 9. He that hath a bountiful eye, one which reflects kindness, friendliness, and charity, shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor; as he dispenses blessing, he will receive blessing.
V. 10. Cast out the scorner, the one whose mockery is directed against godliness in every form, and contention shall go out, for blasphemous taunts engender quarrels; yea, strife and reproach shall cease, with the removal of the blasphemer.
V. 11. He that loveth pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend, literally, “He who loves purity, integrity, of heart, and to whom is grace of lips, the king is his friend,” he will stand high in the counsels of the mighty of the earth.
V. 12. The eyes of the Lord preserve knowledge, for His eyes are fixed in protecting care upon those who observe the norm of true knowledge as found in His Word, and He overthroweth the words of the transgressor, all the proposals and plans by which the wicked intends to harm the believer.
