Proverbs
How to better understand ourselves and others, our weaknesses and strengths.
Most of the book of Proverbs was written by King David's son and successor, Solomon. In chapter 1:2-7 Solomon promotes wisdom and understanding in behavior, righteousness, justice and equity. Simple people can be prudent; youth can gain knowledge and discretion, and the wise might become wiser. Following are words in chapters 1and 2:
Wisdom Foolish
insight rush into sin
discipline wayward
discretion love simple ways
discerning plunder
fear of the Lord ill gotten gain
knowledge mockery
listen schemes
insight complacent
blameless dark ways
faithful devious
fair and just seductive
love unfaithful
straight paths paths to the dead
