Proverbs In The Mouth Of A Fool – Proverbs 26:9

9 Like a thornbush in a drunkard’s hand
is a proverb in the mouth of a fool.

NIV

Proverbs Club Commentary

A proverb must be respectfully scrutinized.
Trust me on this one.

As the darkness falls so does our enemies.

Whitehouse dark Saturday night.

Whitehouse and Washington Monument dark Sunday night (and Vatican).

14 Like clouds and wind without rain
is one who boasts of gifts never given.

NIV

Proverbs Club Commentary

A braggart brings only disappointment
if the brag goes unfulfilled.

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.
