Day 29 - If you think you know it all, you're a fool for sure; real survivors learn wisdom from others.

Ok, so yesterday I skipped chapter 28 by mistake. I'm doing it today. So here it is awesome saying from Proverbs chapter 28! The Message version as usual! :)

When the country is in chaos,
everybody has a plan to fix it—
But it takes a leader of real understanding
to straighten things out.

Get as rich as you want
through cheating and extortion,
But eventually some friend of the poor
is going to give it all back to them.

God has no use for the prayers
of the people who won't listen to him.

Among leaders who lack insight, abuse abounds,
but for one who hates corruption, the future is bright.

Work your garden—you'll end up with plenty of food;
play and party—you'll end up with an empty plate.

Committed and persistent work pays off;
get-rich-quick schemes are ripoffs.

In the end, serious reprimand is appreciated
far more than bootlicking flattery.

If you think you know it all, you're a fool for sure;
real survivors learn wisdom from others.

Be generous to the poor—you'll never go hungry;
shut your eyes to their needs, and run a gauntlet of curses.

When corruption takes over, good people go underground,
but when the crooks are thrown out, it's safe to come out
