Book of Proverbs (plus bonus proverbs) | Part 6
Continuing on from my Part 5 post with the Book of Proverbs written by King Solomon the son of King David... Most people have heard of the name 'King Solomon' and quite rightly too. The bible tells us he was at the time (I don't know if he would be today) the wisest among all men, "And he spake three thousand proverbs: and his songs were a thousand and five."
1 Kings 4:32
Parental Counsel
There are seven things that the Lord hates and cannot tolerate: Pro 6:16-19
- A proud look,
- A lying tongue,
- Hands that kill innocent people,
- A mind that thinks up wicked plans,
- Feet that hurry off to do evil,
- A witness who tells one lie after another,
- and someone who stirs up trouble among friends
Proverbs of King Solomon
'Go to the ant, O sluggard,
Observe her ways and be wise,
7 Which, having no chief,
Officer or ruler,
8 Prepares her food in the summer
And gathers her provision in the harvest.'
Pro 6:6-8
'Can you carry fire against your chest without burning your clothes?
28 Can you walk on hot coals without burning your feet?
29 It is just as dangerous to sleep with another man's wife. Whoever does it will suffer.'
Pro 6:27-29
'My son, observe the commandment of your father
And do not forsake the teaching of your mother;
21 Bind them continually on your heart;
Tie them around your neck.'
Pro 6:20-21
My own
'Acting out of anger will inevitably result in more anger'
'He who humbles himself douses the fire of frustration'
'He who learns from pain will never be the same again'
