3-4. Don’t lose your grip on Love and Loyalty.Tie them around your neck; carve their initials on your heart.Earn a reputation for living wellin God’s eyes and the eyes of the people.
30-32. Don’t walk around with a chip on your shoulder,always spoiling for a fight.Don’t try to be like those who shoulder their way through life.Why be a bully?“Why not?” you say. Because God can’t stand twisted souls.It’s the straightforward who get his respect.
33-35. God’s curse blights the house of the wicked,but he blesses the home of the righteous.He gives proud skeptics a cold shoulder,but if you’re down on your luck, he’s right there to help.Wise living gets rewarded with honor;stupid living gets the booby prize.
