"Eyes" (40 Days of Wisdom for Lent)

Do not be wise in your own eyes;
Fear the Lord and depart from evil.
It will be health to your flesh,
And strength to your bones.
(Proverbs 3:7-8)

Let your eyes look straight ahead,
And your eyelids look right before you.
Ponder the path of your feet,
And let all your ways be established.

For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord,
And He ponders all his paths.

And my law as the apple of your eye.

But a prating fool will fall.

But he who heeds counsel is wise.

But the Lord weighs the spirits.

Wherever he turns, he prospers.

But the eyes of a fool are on the ends of the earth.
(Proverbs 17:8,24)

The hearing ear and the seeing eye,
The Lord has made them both.
Do not love sleep, lest you come to poverty;
Open your eyes, and you will be satisfied with bread.

Every way of a man is right in his own eyes,
But the Lord weighs the hearts.

And let your eyes observe my ways.

But he who hides his eyes will have many curses.
(Proverbs 28:22,27)

The poor man and the oppressor have this in common:
The Lord gives light to the eyes of both.
(Proverbs 29:13)

There is a generation that is pure in its own eyes,
Yet is not washed from its filthiness.
13 There is a generation—oh, how lofty are their eyes!
And their eyelids are lifted up.
The eye that mocks his father,
And scorns obedience to his mother,
The ravens of the valley will pick it out,
And the young eagles will eat it.
(Proverbs 30:12-13,17)
