Proverbs 14:9 New Living Translation (NLT)

 

9 Fools make fun of guilt,
    but the godly acknowledge it and seek reconciliation.

 

Importance.                    

 

Is self-respect built

on what you can believe

or is it guided by slight guilt

for you like to be deceived?

 

By self and you … your inner-man

will take you for a ride.

To hell and back without a plan

as into destruction you will slide.

 

There is no excuse for self-abuse

so accept that as a fact.

It's all for you … you dense recluse

just run and not look back.

 

A vicious circle at full speed

the end you have in sight.

It is your own back-end that you see.

Will you catch it in its flight?
