Proverbs 16:1 - 18:24


Nine: The Lord gives us all these warnings in the Bible that tells us what to do. You should not walk in the way of the foolish. Be careful what you say; it could get you in trouble.

Twelve: It compares how a foolish man and a wise man are. It shows wise men are a lot better off. You should look for wisdom and discerning. Fools talk too much, go down foolish paths, and don't listen to wise men's words.

Forty-seven: How often does my mouth run without thinking? How often does it say things it shouldn't that aren't God honoring or I wouldn't want said of me? I pray to be the wise person who listens, who accepts correction with a humble spirit. 

Proverbs 1:1 - 4:27


Nine: Listen to the Lord; don't walk in the path of evil doers. I should listen to the Lord and do what he says. I shouldn't let people tempt me in the ways of evil. Doing school teaches us wisdom.

Twelve: Listen to wise people, read the bible, don't go with the wicked, and don't listen to them either. Find wisdom, look for it. Read the Bible. Read stuff.

Forty-seven: How hard it is to seek always for wisdom. It seems so much easier to be careless and follow in the easy paths which are not righteous.
