Proverbs 13:1-7 New Living Translation (NLT)
13 A wise child accepts a parent’s discipline;[a]
a mocker refuses to listen to correction.
2 Wise words will win you a good meal,
but treacherous people have an appetite for violence.
3 Those who control their tongue will have a long life;
opening your mouth can ruin everything.
4 Lazy people want much but get little,
but those who work hard will prosper.
5 The godly hate lies;
the wicked cause shame and disgrace.
6 Godliness guards the path of the blameless,
but the evil are misled by sin.
7 Some who are poor pretend to be rich;
others who are rich pretend to be poor.
Proverbs 14:23-34 New Living Translation (NLT)
23 Work brings profit,
but mere talk leads to poverty!
24 Wealth is a crown for the wise;
the effort of fools yields only foolishness.
25 A truthful witness saves lives,
but a false witness is a traitor.
26 Those who fear the Lord are secure;
he will be a refuge for their children.
27 Fear of the Lord is a life-giving fountain;
it offers escape from the snares of death.
28 A growing population is a king’s glory;
a prince without subjects has nothing.
29 People with understanding control their anger;
a hot temper shows great foolishness.
30 A peaceful heart leads to a healthy body;
jealousy is like cancer in the bones.
31 Those who oppress the poor insult their Maker,
but helping the poor honors him.
32 The wicked are crushed by disaster,
but the godly have a refuge when they die.
33 Wisdom is enshrined in an understanding heart;
wisdom is not found among fools.
34 Godliness makes a nation great,
but sin is a disgrace to any people.

A peaceful heart leads to a healthy body; jealousy is like cancer in the bones. Those who oppress the poor insult their maker.
Amen turn it around for me God!!
This passage of scripture tells us HOW we are to live...in the FEAR and ADMONITION of The LORD. We are to WORK (action word) so that we can bring in the profits not just TALK about it. Talk the talk and Walk the Walk! Just do it! Let's get it! HE has PROMISED it to us, so why not CLAIM IT, in the name of JESUS! BE WISE & RECEIVE WISE COUNSEL!!!!! Our security is in Christ Jesus!

Amen.
26 Those who fear the Lord are secure;
Wonderful, and interesting, with great concepts; as stated; "Work brings profit, but mere talk leads to poverty!" Such powerful, because if we are just talking, and not putting our words to work, we are loosing out.
The book of Proverbs truly tells us how to conduct ourselves.
These are also good scriptures of using wisdom also.
How long will we love simplicity? Get wisdom and get understanding.
