Proverb of Peace

Rash language cuts and maims,
   but there is healing in the words of the wise.

Truth lasts;
   lies are here today, gone tomorrow.

Evil scheming distorts the schemer;
   peace-planning brings joy to the planner.

My son and I read Proverbs together before his bedtime. I ran into the above proverb the other night. I’m not big on inspirational snippets, but hey, there are times when you need a word of encouragement.

So preach it, King Solomon. :-)
