Proverbs 21
Much in here this morning to make me feel uncomfortable ...

23 He who guards his mouth and his tongue
keeps himself from calamity.

24 The proud and arrogant man-"Mocker" is his name;
he behaves with overweening pride.

are at the top of the list, but

13 If a man shuts his ears to the cry of the poor,
he too will cry out and not be answered.

20 In the house of the wise are stores of choice food and oil,
but a foolish man devours all he has.

26 All day long he craves for more,
but the righteous give without sparing.

especially when taken together, cut pretty close to home.

I suppose there is comfort in:

31 The horse is made ready for the day of battle,
but victory rests with the LORD.
