Proverbs 8:17Bible in Basic English 1965Those who have given me their love are loved by me, and those who make search for me with care will get me. See the chapter |
For this reason the Lord God of Israel has said, Truly I did say that your family and your father's people would have their place before me for ever: but now the Lord says, Let it not be so; I will give honour to those by whom I am honoured, and those who have no respect for me will be of small value in my eyes.
