Exerts from the book of Proverbs:
A generous man will prosper: he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed. (11:25)
The mouth of righteous brings forth wisdom but a perverse tongue will be cut out. (10:31)
Wise men store up knowledge, but the mouth of a fool invites ruin. (10:14)
He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm. (13:20)
In layman’s terms: If you lie with dogs you get fleas…
Can you tell? I am in the middle of studying the book of Proverbs and actually enjoying it. It does have a sense of humor!
I learned that the book is split into at least two sections: the first 9 chapters are an overview and the remaining are “proverbs.” With out reading and understanding background on how the book is written one may become confused. The poetry in the book of Proverbs is just that. Poetry- Not written by God. You really cannot pull one- liners out of the book and take it as “the rule.” It talks about lady wisdom, men and temptations, and women who will be blessed.
When pride comes, then disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom. (11:2)
Thinking of each one of you today!
