About this book

O trust upon the Lord your God with all your heart and mind;On understanding of your own, don't lean or be inclined. Acknowledge God in all your ways and everything you know;Then He will make your pathways straight and show the way to go. (Proverbs 3:6)A gentle answer on the tongue turns wrath and strife away;But strident words stir anger up and instigate a fray. (Proverbs 15:1)For everything there is a life and season of its own;Yes, under heaven there's a plan and time for it alone.There is a time that one is born, and time as well to die;There is a time that one should plant, and time to use the scythe. (Ecclesiastes 3:1-2)
