Psalms 34:12

WisdomJoy

10 Young lions go lacking and hungry, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.

11 Come, children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.

Who is the man who delights in life, who desires to see good days?

13 Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from deceitful speech.

14 Turn away from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.
