This verse is saying to me that it is pleasing to Him when you read and actually apply the bible to your life. You take it to heart and you speak about it by telling others (have all of them ready on your lips).

To me this verse is saying whoever ignores the poor will cry out at some point for some reason and they will be ignored for they ignored the poor.... So their cries will be unheard in other words....

To me this verse is saying it doesn't matter the sin, for they are equal as in the Lord detests them both. It don't matter how you committed the sin or why you committed the sin even if it was done in good intentions, etc. or the sin compared to someone elses sin that you may compare worse. The Lord is saying here that he weighs, (dislikes) all sin..... The word detest means to dislike someone or something very strongly. It hurts him. As I read from David Wilkerson that in a verse in the bible it says that: You nailed him to the cross meaning when we sin we should consider it talking to us this day since he was nailed to the cross for our sins.... So every time we sin it is like nailing him to the cross again.... How horrible? It makes you think and try harder not to sin....

To me this verse means to openly accept advice and discipline for you will be counted among the wise in the end, meaning as far as judgement. Constructively accept advice along with discipline. Don't ignore it and not take it into your heart and mind. Listening to advice and discipline that is for your good will bring wisdom for it is kind of like constructive criticism to me, because it is something to construct you, change you, and make you for the better.

To me this verse is saying that the rich people think they have all in their wealth that nothing can compare to it. It is all they study sadly. It bothers me because most people who are considered "rich" are very unhappy and many think that money can buy happiness true happiness, it can't. I pray for those that look to their money to answer all their hopes and prayers, because it will not, it will only lead to destruction with pride. I'm not talking about the "rich" that donate, help the needy, and are true believers of God and live to serve him. However, most are the description of what I described above....

To me this verse is saying a discerning person always keeps wisdom, but a fool will look everywhere for whatever they are seeking. A discerning person will keep the bible to guide them, but also discern the truth for the truth and not listen or look to the earth for wisdom. A fool will seek it out in the world, whereas a person that discerns wisdom will keep it in mind at all times. We must be able to discern the truth from the false since there are many false teachers that are out in the world. We must not just sit in church on the pew and take the preachers word for what he says just because he is the preacher, we must check up on it for ourselves in the bible and make sure it lines up with the word of God and be able to discern the truth for ourselves. That is why we are given wisdom to be able to discern the truth.

To me this verse is saying it means so much more to have wisdom then gold, for gold is of no value compared to wisdom of the lord. It is much better to get insight than silver. Insight is to me seeing what is right, what should be done, the lords will for you, etc.

This verse tells me that the righteous people have a great treasure for they have the lord, but anything a wicked person brings as in income (not income from a job, but income as in what they bring forth as a person) is nothing but ruin, meaning no good.

There are so many verses I would like to write about on this chapter. This verse says to me that being kind and speaking not out of anger will clam a situation, but speaking out of anger only stirs up anger and hostility and escalates the situation.

To me this verse means an honest witness will tell the truth and not deceive a person with lies, which will lead them not lead them astray. A false witness does nothing but tell lies.
