Curse Of The Braggart – Proverbs 25:14

is one who boasts of gifts never given.

A braggart brings only disappointment
if the brag goes unfulfilled.

Wisdom Is Honey From The Comb – Proverbs 24:13-14

13 Eat honey, my son, for it is good;
honey from the comb is sweet to your taste.

14 Know also that wisdom is like honey for you:
If you find it, there is a future hope for you,
and your hope will not be cut off.

NIV

Proverbs Club Commentary

Eating honey from the comb is good.
Wisdom guarantees your future hope.

17 Do not let your heart envy sinners,
but always be zealous for the fear of the Lord.

18 There is surely a future hope for you,
and your hope will not be cut off.

NIV

Proverbs Club Commentary

Avoid the way of the sinner.
Pursue The Fear Of The Lord.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
Proverbs 9:10

9 The generous will themselves be blessed,
for they share their food with the poor.

NIV

Commentary

A generous person will be blessed
for as little an offering
as sharing food with the poor.
Got milk?

9 Better to live on a corner of the roof
than share a house with a quarrelsome wife.

NIV

Commentary

To be fair, let’s say “spouse” instead of “wife”.
Do you have a contentious spouse?
Make yourself scarce.
