Proverbs 28:7 Cross References - ECB

⁷ Whoever guards the torah is a discerning son; and he who befriends gluttons shames his father.

¹ My son, if you take my sayings and hide my misvoth with you ² - to hearken your ear to wisdom and spread your heart to discernment; ³ yes, if you call after discernment and give your voice for discerning; ⁴ if you seek her as silver and search for her as hid treasures ⁵ - then you discern the awe of Yah Veh and find the knowledge of Elohim. ⁶ For Yah Veh gives wisdom - from his mouth knowledge and discernment:

¹ My son, forget not my torah; and your heart guard my misvoth; ² for they add to you length of days and years of life and shalom: ³ forsake not mercy and truth; bind them about your throat; inscribe them on the slab of your heart: ⁴ thus you find charism and good comprehension in the eye of Elohim and humanity. ⁵ Confide in Yah Veh with all your heart and lean not to your own discernment: ⁶ in all your ways know him and he straightens your paths: ⁷ be not wise in your own eyes; awe Yah Veh and turn aside from evil ⁸ - healing to your navel and moisture to your bones. ⁹ Honor Yah Veh with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all your produce: ¹⁰ thus are your ingatherings filled with sufficiency and your troughs break forth with juice. ¹¹ My son, neither spurn the discipline of Yah Veh nor abhor his reproof: ¹² for whom Yah Veh loves, he reproves - even as a father the son who pleases him. ¹³ Blithe - the human who finds wisdom and the human who produces discernment: ¹⁴ better, the merchandise thereof than the merchandise of silver; and the produce thereof than ore: ¹⁵ she is more esteemed than pearls and all your desires are not comparable to her: ¹⁶ length of days is in her right; and in her left, riches and honor: ¹⁷ her ways are ways of pleasantness and all her paths are shalom: ¹⁸ she is a tree of life to them who uphold her; and blithesome to them who uphold her. ¹⁹ Yah Veh, by wisdom, founded the earth; by discernment, he established the heavens; ²⁰ by knowledge, he split the abysses and the vapours drip the dew. ²¹ My son, pervert them not from your eyes; guard substance and intrigue ²² - life to your soul and charism to your throat. ²³ Then you walk your way confidently and stub not your foot: ²⁴ you lie down; you dread not: yes, you lie down and your sleep pleases. ²⁵ Neither awe sudden fear; nor the devastation of the wicked when it comes: ²⁶ for Yah Veh is your hope and he guards your foot from capture. ²⁷ Withhold not good from your masters when it is in the El of your hand to work it: ²⁸ say not to your friend, Go and return, and tomorrow I give - when you have it by you: ²⁹ inscribe not evil against your friend seeing he settles confidently by you: ³⁰ strive not with humanity gratuitously if he deals you no evil: ³¹ neither envy the man of violence nor choose his ways: ³² for he who perverts is abhorrence to Yah Veh; and his private counsel is with the straight. ³³ The curse of Yah Veh is in the house of the wicked; and he blesses the habitation of rest of the just. ³⁴ Surely he scorns the scorners; yet he gives charism to the humble: ³⁵ the wise inherit honor; and abasement is the exaltation of fools.
