Those who associate with immoral women will go down to hell—Rejoice with the wife of your youth.

https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/ot/prov/6?lang=eng

Six things that the Lord hates are named—Those who commit adultery destroy their own souls.

https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/ot/prov/7?lang=eng

An immoral woman leads a man to destruction as an ox to the slaughter—The house of an adulterous woman is the way to hell.

https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/ot/prov/8?lang=eng

Wisdom is greatly to be desired—The Lord and the sons of men possessed wisdom in the premortal life.

https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/ot/prov/9?lang=eng

Rebuke a wise man and he will love you—The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom—The guests of an immoral woman are in the depths of hell.

https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/ot/prov/10?lang=eng

A wise son makes a glad father—The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life—He who utters slander is a fool—The desire of the righteous will be granted.

https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/ot/prov/11?lang=eng

The state and rewards of the righteous and the wicked are contrasted—When a wicked man dies, his expectations perish—He who wins souls is wise.

https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/ot/prov/12?lang=eng

A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband—The way of a fool is right in his own eyes—Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord.

25 Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad.

28 In the way of righteousness is life; and in the pathway thereof there is no death.

https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/ot/prov/13?lang=eng

The way of the transgressor is hard—Evil pursues sinners—He who does not discipline his children hates them.

https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/ot/prov/14?lang=eng

Go from the presence of a foolish man—A true witness delivers souls—Righteousness exalts a nation.

21he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he.

26 In the fear of the Lord is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge.

27 The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.

34 Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.

https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/ot/prov/17?lang=eng

He who is glad at calamities will be punished—A friend loves at all times—Even a fool, when he holds his peace, is counted wise.

https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/ot/prov/18?lang=eng

A fool’s mouth is his destruction—Whoever obtains a wife obtains a good thing—A man who has friends must show himself friendly.

https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/ot/prov/19?lang=eng

A prudent wife is from the Lord—He who lends to the poor lends to the Lord—It is better to be a poor man than to be a liar.

https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/ot/prov/20?lang=eng

Wine is a mocker, and strong drink is raging—Turn to the Lord, and He will save you.

https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/ot/prov/21?lang=eng

Do righteousness and justice—Follow after righteousness and mercy—Safety comes from the Lord.

https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/ot/prov/23?lang=eng

Labor not to be rich—As a man thinks in his heart, so is he—Withhold not correction from a child—Be not among drunkards.

https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/ot/prov/24?lang=eng

In a multitude of counselors there is safety—Fret not yourself because of evil men—It is not good to show partiality in judgment.

https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/ot/prov/25?lang=eng

Boast not of false gifts—Give food and drink to your enemy.

https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/ot/prov/26?lang=eng

Honor is not fitting for a fool—Answer not a fool according to his folly—Where there is no talebearer, the strife ceases.

https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/ot/prov/27?lang=eng

Let another man praise you—A prudent man foresees evil—Hell and destruction are never full.

https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/ot/prov/28?lang=eng

The wicked flee when no man pursues—Whoever walks uprightly will be saved—A faithful man will abound with blessings.

https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/ot/prov/29?lang=eng

When the wicked rule, the people mourn—The righteous consider the cause of the poor—A fool speaks all that is in his mind—Where there is no vision, the people perish.

https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/ot/prov/30?lang=eng

Every word of God is pure—Give me neither poverty nor riches.

https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/ot/eccl/4?lang=eng

Oppression and evil deeds are vanity—The strength of two is better than one—Better is a poor and wise child than an old and foolish king.

https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/ot/eccl/5?lang=eng

God is in heaven—A fool’s voice is known by a multitude of words—Keep your vows—Riches and wealth are the gift of God.

https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/ot/eccl/6?lang=eng

Unless a man’s soul is filled with good, his riches, wealth, honor, and posterity are vanity.

https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/ot/eccl/7?lang=eng

Wisdom gives life to them that have it—All men are sinners—God has made man upright.

https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/ot/eccl/8?lang=eng

None have power to avoid death—It will not be well with the wicked; he turns to pleasure and cannot find wisdom.

https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/ot/eccl/9?lang=eng

God’s providence rules over all—All men are subject to time and chance—Wisdom is better than strength—One sinner destroys much good.

https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/ot/eccl/10?lang=eng

A little folly destroys the reputation of the wise and honorable—The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious—A fool is full of words.

Come Follow Me Lesson 17: Exodus 18-20 Introduction: Are you noticing the abundance of miracles in your own life? These are “undeniable manifestations of the Lord’s matchless power, love, and mercy” for you! The Lord wants to give us greater treasures than providing for our daily physical needs. He want everyone to be blessed through entering into the covenant with Him. He wants us to be blessed with Priesthood power and to become His “peculiar treasure,” and a “holy nation”. Exodus 19:5–6 In our day, the invitation to cooffme unto Christ and enter into the covenant is extended to all people, first through baptism, and later through further endowments in the temple.

Come Follow Me 51

Come Follow Me Lesson 51 “I Have Loved You, Saith the Lord” Introduction: Malachi means My messenger. What messages did the Lord give Malachi have for you? What messages does he have for the world? Do you trust that the Lord loves you even in adversity? You should. “I have loved you,” the Lord told His people through the prophet Malachi. But the Israelites, who had suffered generations of affliction and captivity, asked the Lord, “Wherein hast thou loved us?” ( Malachi 1:2 ). After all Israel had been through, they may have wondered whether the history of ancient Israel is really a story of God’s love for His covenant people. What evidences have you seen in the Old Testament of God’s love for His people, and for you? When the sons of Jacob mistreated their brother Joseph, the Lord still prepared a way to save them from famine (see  Genesis 45:4–8 ). When Israel murmured in the wilderness, God fed them with manna (see  Exodus 16:1–4 ). Even when Israel abandoned Hi...
