First Lesson
Proverbs 3:27-35
27 Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is
in the power of thine hand to do it.
28 Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow
I will give; when thou hast it by thee.
29 Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth
securely by thee.
30 Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee
no harm.
31 Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.
32 For the froward is abomination to the LORD: but his secret
is with the righteous.
33 The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he
blesseth the habitation of the just.
34 Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto
the lowly.
35 The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion
of fools.
