2 Chronicles 10:10

God's Word

The young men who had grown up with him answered, “This is what you should tell them: ‘My little finger is heavier than my father’s whole body.

See the chapter Copy

Rehoboam went to Shechem because all Israel had gone to Shechem to make him king.

If my father put a heavy burden on you, I will add to it. If my father punished you with whips, I will punish you with scorpions.’ ”

He asked them, “What is your advice? How should we respond to these people who are asking me to lighten the burden my father put on them?”

Those who are wise store up knowledge, but the mouth of a stubborn fool invites ruin.

Any sensible person acts with knowledge, but a fool displays stupidity.

A wise person is cautious and turns away from evil, but a fool is careless and overconfident.

If you stop listening to instruction, my son, you will stray from the words of knowledge.

No wisdom, no understanding, and no advice ⌞can stand up⌟ against the Lord.

A greedy person stirs up a fight, but whoever trusts the Lord prospers.

A person’s pride will humiliate him, but a humble spirit gains honor.
