As stated in some comments some months ago; we should still be able to trust God in regard to His Word; and that indeed He can and will prosper people financially. In this world we should adhere to 1 Timothy 6:17
Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;
Some are born into riches; others earn it through hard work and God's Providence of resulting financial success. Money is uncertain and we can't put our trust in things that "moth and rust" corrupt ( Matt. 6:19).
Certainly it isn't Pastors who should be cornering the market or seeking "filthy lucre" ( Titus 1:11 AND 1 Peter 5:2). The best they can hope for is making it into heaven as through the fire; but there is probably a much better chance they aren't saved at all. Only God knows but why make that lifestyle your legacy?
What we see today is more of these so called "Apostles" dying; while others making half hearted "repentance" statements then continuing on with the sin of covetousness; much like the parable of a dog returning to its own vomit ( Proverbs 26:11). We certainly bring nothing into this world and we aren't taking anything out ( 1 Timothy 6:7). What we can do is gain heavenly treasure by harvesting souls ( Matt. 6:19).
He who covers or conceals his sin is not doing themselves any favors. ( Proverbs 28:13). It actually says the man will not prosper. There are enough warnings in scripture including to the Pharisees as to the spiritual ramifications of continuing in such behaviors and many others in the Old Testament as well.
Ultimately; the desire for fame and popularity is tied into those with this narcissistic mindset and lifestyle. All will be lost after this life; which is as a vapor has passed. Let us live lives in strict obedience and holiness not due to compulsion but love and gratitude for what Christ did for us.
"Now therefore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine." Genesis 20:7 KJV
(even in the midst of Abraham's deceit God intervened and protected both him and his wife Sarah)
"No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD." Isaiah 54:17 KJV
(my learning from this is to trust God, as in the scriptures:)
"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding." Proverbs 3:5 KJV
"Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah." Psalms 62:8 KJV

"The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?" Jeremiah 17:9 KJV
Greetings brother "One eighty" thank you for taking time to reply to my question and thought. I may be misunderstanding you,if so I apologize. But according to what has been revealed to me personally by revelation is that Jesus is the thoughts of Gods heart. Psalm33:11 And the beginning of the Gospel of John. The logos where we get our word logic or reason. Thus God before Time began purposed all things in his heart before beginning the creation by the word= thoughts. Jesus was in the beginning with God,and when God logos creation began,. I have a question for you to ponder. Which came first light or darkness. Just something to ponder. I seek godly counsel to always make sure God's word doesn't get twisted in my finite mind. For thinkers are what God created us to be. And to always think upon Him And meditate upon his word and he promises that we can understand All things. His word says so. Proverbs 28:5
We need to understand that we can criticize someone without condemning them.
As I understand it, to "condemn" someone means to pronounce that they are lost and going to hell.
But if someone says to you, "I think you're wrong on this issue," They have not condemned you.
We live in a culture where criticism is not popular. If you criticize anyone, you're labeled judgmental, hypocritical, and pharisaical.
In the Christian community we need to be criticized or corrected, "when we are doing something wrong, when we are neglecting some good thing we should be doing. when we are teaching something that is false. ect ect..
Scripture should always be the standard by which we criticize/reprove and make sure you are the right person to do the criticizing.
When We Criticize, We Need to do it with Love and probably in person, "Not a letter"
As it pertains to "condemning," there is certainly a time when we should express to people that they are in a lost condition. If someone is not "in Christ,"
The bible certainly can be used in this area!
There is lots of Scripture on the behavior of a true believer.
" Romans 6:1-4 comes to mind.
We have to tell them the truth!
He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue. Proverbs 28:23).
I would rather display my love by telling them the truth and risk losing them as a friend than to tell them nothing and risk seeing them continue in a Sin that can send them to Hell.
Perhaps you can ease them into a conversation on Salvation and ask them are they saved, and their answer will give you a starting point.
Don't forget to ask them, "By what means"
PS. A unsaved person needs to know the work of Christ on the cross.
A saved person, "or one that profess to be saved needs to understand the work of the Holyspirit.

what is this to those who continue in sin for life, but regarding iniquity in their hearts, & turn from the Grace of God, Rom 8:2 their prayers are not heard Proverbs 28:9 God is not near them & why? They call not upon Him in Truth, & reject the motions of His Spirit to intercede through them, with sighing & groans that cannot be uttered.
Oh, if they would only open the hearts to the Light of the Truth that shines in their heart, "enlighening their darkness" the blessings & goodness that God has instore for them,
You are welcome to believe in the "Believer's Bible Commentary".Marion, IA: Laridian, Inc., 2021.
I choose to follow the God's Holy Bible KJB, and be instructed by God's Holy Spirit. I will listen to Jesus/God when he tells me to be obedient and pick my cross Matt 16:24.
I really hope you will open you heart to the true scriptures, instead of spreading man's interpretation of the scriptures as you are doing above. If/when you really pick up your cross, you will be under God's influence and His Holy Spirit - as opposed to mans/satans influence, and you will begin to learn to become obedient to God's TRUE commands, and when you do - you will know, Psalms 119:35 as you will be blessed when you DO, and you will be reprimanded when you DON"T. Proverbs 28:9John 5:14
Learn to Fear God, this is the beginning of Wisdom! Proverbs 9:10
Further thoughts on Luke 15 and parable of the Prodigal son and the lost sheep of the 99.
As believers we can truly have Godly sorrow that leads to repentance ( 2 Cor. 7:10). Such is the case with a new believer; but parables such as these show how we should continue as His sheep to live with such a love for our heavenly Father.
The primary point I wish to emphasize here is how a man's heart can harden to the point where a conscience is seared; hence beyond hope (1 Timoty 4:2). This is serious business; and we see it with professing believers and the world alike. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 gives us a list of the unrepentant sins; more specifically lifestyles which will end up with the sinner in hell. When sin happens it needs to be acknowledged as such; a personal offense to God; other people we know and society at large particularly in the categories of sexual sin; or mental and physical attacks on others. The man who covers up his sins ( Proverbs 28:13 will not prosper; therefore the verse states we should confess in order to obtain mercy. Somehow as believers it seems like it is a one time thing many times to ask for mercy; to beg for forgiveness or to seriously consider how tender His mercies truly are.
Consider Lamentations 3:22-23. In the midst of the most harrowing; graphically detailed description of God's city of Jerusalem being overcome by famine; disease and war we see this statement showing that God still holds out mercy; despite most of these calamities being a result of deliberate sins warned against by the prophets for many years. The parable in Luke 15 in regard to the older brother is almost the opposite scenario; someone who has an abundance of material wealth and still complains as to his father's forgiveness of his younger brother. This goes to show that spiritual blessings are not dependant on material wealth; and when we have success financially it isn't necessarily appreciated if we have a godless spiritual existance.
prayers for the Lord to guide us through the health issues and finance issues that go along with it , with my wife having breast cancer , me losing the use of my left hand due to osteonecrosis , and having stents and heart disease, along with the myriad of other health problems i have , i am learning to have the patience of Job, ihave been praying for healing , now i am simply asking for His will to be done not mine . standing firm in proverbs 28:1 the wicked flee when no man persueth , but the rightous are as bold as a lion .
There were several careers I was becoming very successful & in each one, something happened to completely demolish those. I realized recently if those 'paths' I had chosen were successful; I would have been thousands of miles away from my family & possibly "too busy" to help my family members, during hardship, including cancer & death that happened much faster than expected. Looking back now, I'm so grateful for the time I had with each of them & thankful for GOD's mercy of not letting those empty ventures succeed. We cannot get back the time & years on earth when a loved one is passed on. Sadly the time without them as we continue on will continue to accumulate. I ask you, prayerfully consider GOD's perfect plan, could it be the most vital thing is to be beside your Mother, holding her hand for eternal memory & peace & comfort to both your souls, to be strength as she is afraid?
Wes gave a wise answer on Christmas. Exodus 23:8, Deuteronomy 16:19, Ecclesiastes 7:7, may The HOLY Spirit teach us. John 14:26
I love to celebrate Christmas, I really enjoy the lights, the focus on our Savior. The generosity in the season. Christmas is a time of year, people remember more their fellow man, needs & wants of others. Christmas time reminds us of the joys of giving & putting smiles on others faces, teaching by love & kindnesses. Surprising a person with anonymous unexpected gifts, giving hope to people in desperation, food, clothing, volunteering, etc. warms their hearts, body & soul & sometimes gives them hope for a better ' tomorrow '. Christmas is the time of year people are more willing to receive from a Christian.....
We as Believers have an open door at Christmas unlike any other time of the year, to show the World who Jesus is, who the Church is.
When we remember those most "forgotten by others" showing them, they are not forgotten by GOD, it's amazing how even those around them are affected.
This Christmas season we really have a moment to help comfort, our nations with love, giving hope through the WORD, to poor in spirit & helping heal wounds. There is much we can give this year, for those in need. I pray GOD lead us even now, to start the giving season early. Romans 6:23, 2Corinthians 1:4, Proverbs 15:23,
I was referring to your reference Romans 28:1 which is non-existent. So I then picked out Proverbs 28:1 & Philemon 1:8 as examples. So from the 1611 edition, 'bolde & lyon' are just old English spellings for the words we use as 'bold & lion'; no misspelling here, just 17th Century English. Some people prefer to read the Bible in that old English, but for me, the version we have now is fine & correct. Hope that helps you.
Not sure what you meant by "it doesn't exist" because I read it from this site under the 1611 KJV just minutes before writing you.!
"The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bolde as a lyon."
Proverbs 28:1 (KJV) I just wanted to know if it meant something different then bold without the e. that's all. NOW I notice that the word lion is spelled lyon, why is this? I know the meaning of Lord or lord, or Him /him yet wanting to learn the proper ways of His word was simply wondering the purpose of the spelling or misspelling of these words. Is it a misprint or are there different meanings? Thnx & God bless "Texsis"
Hi Texsis. I couldn't place "bold" in that reference you gave (which doesn't exist of course), but the word does appear in Romans 10:20. Then in the 1611 Edition of the KJB, we can find "bolde" in a couple of verses ( Proverbs 28:1 & Philemon 1:8). In all these instances, the meaning remains unchanged, regardless of whether modern or olde English is read.
The wicked flee when no man pursueth, but the righteous are bold as a lion. I know that wherever evil is, it will not even put up a fight once confronted with God's true goodness. On the other hand, God's forces can never surrender. Amen
The words "Usury" & "leasing" mean to make money from additional fees like "interest rates" additional profit from the person "giving" usury is "unusualy high rates" Leasing also meaning lying, falsehood.

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that gives [wisdom] to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
COMMENT:
We do not need to be angry or go on a rampage. We do need to repent on behalf of ignorance as a nation. Intercede; stand in the gap. Ask the Lord to open all hearts of mercy to heal this curse. We can't fix it, but the Lord can. We only open the gate for the healing to begin. Mishael
Jesus taught that some couldn't understand "though hearing" Proverbs 28:5, Matthew 13:13, When I first started reading scripture I had to pray & persist & pray again & repent & confess. Then I could understand but even after that there have been times I've had to pray for understanding.
I have taken that to be wisdom especially when we think to highly of someone & they fall into sin. Putting too much trust in man, woman, their position or title, for example. This was advice maybe through experience.

I look in Proverbs for wisdom.
PROVERBS 19:4
Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbour.
PROVERBS 28:26
He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.
JEREMIAH 17:11
As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool.
Proverbs 6:15
Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.
Proverbs 8:10
Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
Proverbs 10:4
He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.
Proverbs 11:29
He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart.
First of all nobody is perfect.( Romans 3:23-25) Second of all i will pray for you to the Father.( 1 Timothy 2:1-4) David, Solomon, Moses, Aaron, and others in the Bible were not perfect, sinned against God and were corrected for it.( Hebrews 12:6-11) The key thing we all need to do daily is repent of our sins because we are not perfect but Jesus Christ our Lord is and he loves us wanting the best for us.( 1 John 1:9)( 2 Peter 3:9) Our choices decide how close or distant we are from the Father.( James 4:7-10) The main thing we need to remember is that God loves use and created us for his pleasure.( Revelation 4:11) The Lord never falls short but we do. This is why he wants us to humble ourselves and ask him for forgiveness in sincerity.( Proverbs 28:13) If we are not pleasing to him he will correct us to keep us from being deceived and falling away from him. The Lord instructed use through his word and sacrificed himself to draw us closer to him.( John 1:1-5)( John 3:16) Pray believing in the Lord with a humble heart and talk to him, he loves you because your his child( Mark 11:24).
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool ( Isaiah 1:18).
Then your sin must be paid for.
You have no way to pay the penalty.
The Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ , willingly submitted his sinless body and blood to die on the cross to pay the price to deliver sinners from sin, death, and Hell (see Romans 3:24-28).
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved ( Acts 16:31).
He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy ( Proverbs 28:13)
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness ( 1 John 1:9).

13Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper,
but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy.
You also need to take up the whole armor of God. for this way by his word, you will be able to with stand when your being tempted.
Remember his words is a light to our path and God has said if you obey and incline to his word. the word will keep you from stumbling.
This is done by praying without ceasing by reading his word and by fasting humbling yourself through fasting.
Ephesians 6:13-24
13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Lastly God is merciful, and he cares for you. Remember Jesus took your place at the cross so that you might receive his righteousness.
2 Corinthians 5:21
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
So don't give up but kneel down and call to HIM and repent your sins for He who began a good work in you will see it to completion.

Leviticus 9:6, Leviticus 9:16, Leviticus 9:23-24, Leviticus 14:14,17,25,28,
Exodus 29:20, possibly symbolic ear = Exodus 15:26, Psalms 10:17, Proverbs 28:9, Luke 12:3
Interestingly it was the high Priest's servant's right ear: Luke 22:50,51, John 18:10,11,12,
Additional scripture about toes & GOD's justice, Judges 1:6,7,
Hopefully these are helpful in your study
"The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bolde as a lyon."
Proverbs 28:1 (KJV) I just wanted to know if it meant something different then bold without the e. that's all. NOW I notice that the word lion is spelled lyon, why is this? I know the meaning of Lord or lord, or Him /him yet wanting to learn the proper ways of His word was simply wondering the purpose of the spelling or misspelling of these words. Is it a misprint or are there different meanings? Thnx & God bless "Texsis"

Hosea 4:6
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
Proverbs 28:27
He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.
James 1:5
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that gives [wisdom] to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
COMMENT:
We do not need to be angry or go on a rampage. We do need to repent on behalf of ignorance as a nation. Intercede; stand in the gap. Ask the Lord to open all hearts of mercy to heal this curse. We can't fix it, but the Lord can. We only open the gate for the healing to begin. Mishael

Jesus taught that some couldn't understand "though hearing" Proverbs 28:5, Matthew 13:13, When I first started reading scripture I had to pray & persist & pray again & repent & confess. Then I could understand but even after that there have been times I've had to pray for understanding.
Luke 24:45, John 14:26, 1 John 2:27,
I also pray GOD will open your understanding.
Hopefully these are helpful to you
Proverbs 6:30, Proverbs 6:23-26,
Hopefully these scriptures are also helpful in reference
Genesis 25:34, Hebrews 12:16, 1Samuel 25:10-38,
It is also commanded
Leviticus 19:15, Proverbs 24:23, James 1:1-10, Colossians 3:25, Ephesians 6:9, Job 32:21, 2 Chronicles 19:7, Deuteronomy 16:19,
Example Luke 20:21, Matthew 22:16, even when trying to trap Jesus they testified that HE wasn't a "respecter of persons"
Jesus was tested by this Luke 4:2-4,
Is it also coincidence that it was a piece of bread that was given before betrayal by Jesus? John 13:18,21-27, John 6:33,
Can we break this scripture down some? What exactly is it saying?
I look in Proverbs for wisdom.
PROVERBS 19:4
Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbour.
PROVERBS 28:26
He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.
JEREMIAH 17:11
As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool.
Proverbs 6:15
Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.
Proverbs 8:10
Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
Proverbs 10:4
He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.
Proverbs 11:29
He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart.
Have a great Holiday weekend
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool ( Isaiah 1:18).
Then your sin must be paid for.
You have no way to pay the penalty.
The Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ , willingly submitted his sinless body and blood to die on the cross to pay the price to deliver sinners from sin, death, and Hell (see Romans 3:24-28).
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved ( Acts 16:31).
He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy ( Proverbs 28:13)
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness ( 1 John 1:9).
