Proverbs 29:24 (HCSB): To be a thief’s partner is to hate oneself;
he hears the curse but will not testify.

Running shoes
when the truth is revealed, the innocent can stand tall, but the guilty run. Unfortunately, o matter how fast you are, or how good your running shoes are, you can’t outrun the truth!
Proverbs 28:1 (HCSB): The wicked flee when no one is pursuing them,
but the righteous are as bold as a lion.

Returns
Words are just like commodities; when used at the right time in the right way, they provide great returns. What returns are yours bringing?
Proverbs 25:11–13 (HCSB):
A word spoken at the right time
is like gold apples on a silver tray.
A wise correction to a receptive ear
is like a gold ring or an ornament of gold.
To those who send him, a trustworthy messenger
is like the coolness of snow on a harvest day;
he refreshes the life of his masters.

paralyzed
To gain respect and influence, you want to take action to help others when everyone else is paralyzed by their shock.
Proverbs 24:10–12 (HCSB):
If you do nothing in a difficult time,
your strength is limited.
Rescue those being taken off to death,
and save those stumbling toward slaughter.
If you say, “But we didn’t know about this,”
won’t He who weighs hearts consider it?
Won’t He who protects your life know?
Won’t He repay a person according to his work?

open your eyes, and you’ll have enough to eat

Motives
The ends don’t always justify the means; make sure your motives are right before you take action!
Proverbs 16:2–3 (HCSB):
All a man’s ways seem right to him,
but the Lord evaluates the motives.
Commit your activities to the Lord,
and your plans will be achieved.
