He who tills his land will have plenty of bread, But he who follows frivolity will have poverty enough!

He who loves pleasure will be a poor man; He who loves wine and oil will not be rich.

But the angel said to him,“ Do not be afraid, Zacharias, for your prayer is heard; and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth.For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink. He will also be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb.And he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God.He will also go before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah,‘ to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,’ and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”

The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice, And he who begets a wise child will delight in him.Let your father and your mother be glad, And let her who bore you rejoice.

My son, if your heart is wise, My heart will rejoice— indeed, I myself;
