A wise man is strong, and a man of knowledge enhances his strength.

He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing good with his own hands, that he may have something to share with the one in need. Let no unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building up the one in need and bringing grace to those who listen. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, outcry and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and tenderhearted to one another, forgiving each other just as in Christ God forgave you.

You will be hidden from the scourge of the tongue, and will not fear havoc when it comes.

How many are Your works, O LORD! In wisdom You have made them all; the earth is full of Your creatures.
