Proverbs about honoring God..

Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. 3:7

Don't envy violent people or copy their ways. Such wicked people are detestable to the Lord, but he offers his friendship to the godly. 3:31-32

The life of the godly is full of light and joy, but the light of the wicked will be snuffed out. 13:9

Fear of the Lord is a life-giving fountain; it offers escape from the snares of death. 14:27

compassion...

It is a sin to belittle one's neighbor; blessed are those who help the poor.

Do not withhold good from those who deserve it when it's in your power to help them. If you can help your neighbor now, don't say, "Come back tomorrow, and then I'll help you." 3:27-28

wisdom..

Fear of the Lord is the foundation of wisdom. Knowledge of the Holy One results in good judgment. 9:10

Don't be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil. Then you will have healing for your body and strength for your bones. 3:7

Wisdom will multiply your days and add years to your life. If you become wise, you will be the one to benefit. If you scorn wisdom, you will be the one to suffer. 9:11

A wise child brings joy to a father; a foolish child brings grief to a mother. 10:1

faithfullness...

My son, pay attention to my wisdom; listen carefully to my wise counsel. Then you will show discernment, and your lips will express what you've learned. For the lips of an immoral woman are as sweet as honey,and her mouth is smoother than oil. But in the end she is as bitter as poison, as dangerous as a double-edged sword. Her feet go down to death; her steps lead straight to the grave. For she cares nothing about the path to life. She staggers down a crooked trail and doesn't realize it... Never stray from what I am about to say: Stay away from her! Don't go near the door of her house! 5:1-8

Let your wife be a fountain of blessing for you. Rejoice in the wife of your youth. She is a loving deer, a graceful doe. Let her breasts satisfy you always. May you always be captivated by her love. 5:18-19
