1. Watch your step when you enter God’s house.Enter to learn. That’s far better than mindlessly offering a sacrifice,Doing more harm than good.
2. Don’t shoot off your mouth, or speak before you think.Don’t be too quick to tell God what you think he wants to hear.God’s in charge, not you—the less you speak, the better.
3. Overwork makes for restless sleep.Overtalk shows you up as a fool.
6. Don’t let your mouth make a total sinner of you.When called to account, you won’t get by with“Sorry, I didn’t mean it.”Why risk provoking God to angry retaliation?
7. But against all illusion and fantasy and empty talkThere’s always this rock foundation: Fear God!
10. The one who loves money is never satisfied with money,Nor the one who loves wealth with big profits. More smoke.
11. The more loot you get, the more looters show up.And what fun is that—to be robbed in broad daylight?
