The way of a fool
"
The way of a fool is right in his own eyes,
but a wise man listens to advice.
The vexation of a fool is known at once,
but the prudent ignores an insult.
Whoever speaks the truth gives honest evidence,
but a false witness utters deceit.
There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts,
but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
"
~ Proverbs 12.15-18 ESV
Lord,
help me not to be a fool. Help me to:
- Listen to others
- Ignore insult
- Speak the truth with honest evidence
- Speak words of healing
