MY SON (19:27): 25 COMMANDS (22:17-23:14)

       Three commands: two reasons

____________________________________

 

 17 Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise, And apply your heart to my knowledge;

 18 For it is a pleasant thing if you keep them within you; Let them all be fixed upon your lips,

 19 So that your trust may be in the LORD; I have instructed you today, even you.

I have written: two reasons

____________________________________

 

 20 Have I not written to you excellent things Of counsels and knowledge,

 21 That I may make you know the certainty of the words of truth, That you may answer words of truth To those who send to you?

Two commands: two reasons

____________________________________

 

 22 Do not rob the poor because he is poor, Nor oppress the afflicted at the gate;

 23 For the LORD will plead their cause, And plunder the soul of those who plunder them.

Two commands: two reasons

____________________________________

 

 24 Make no friendship with an angry man, And with a furious man do not go,

 25 Lest you learn his ways And set a snare for your soul.

Two commands: reason

____________________________________

 

 26 Do not be one of those who shakes hands in a pledge, One of those who is surety for debts;

 27 If you have nothing with which to pay, Why should he take away your bed from under you?

One command

____________________________________

 

 28 Do not remove the ancient landmark Which your fathers have set.

Two blessings of diligence

____________________________________

 

 29 Do you see a man who excels in his work? He will stand before kings; He will not stand before unknown men.

 (NKJV)
