Proverbs 10

Proverbs 10: Proverbs of Solomon. A wise son brings joy to his father, but a foolish so brings sadness. Righteousness is the only lasting treasure and delivers us from death. The Lord feeds the righteous. Lazy hands make poverty and he who sleeps during harvest is disgraceful. The wise in heart accept commands and whoever walks in integrity walks securely. The mouth of the righteous is a foundation of life and love covers all wrongs. The wise store up knowledge and the wealth of the rich is their fortified city. A person of understanding delights in wisdom. Wisdom finds favor with the Lord and leads to a prosperous life.

Solomon lays out a series of sentences that provides wisdom and direction for our lives. I recommend reading through the Proverbs of Solomon because they provide straightforward wisdom, such as don't be lazy and love covers all wrongs. People struggle with forgiveness, but if love is in your heart (and it should be) then love covers their wrong and allows you to forgive them.
