Advancing The Wise And The Discerning
Proverbs 1:5 (NIV)
5) let the wise listen and add to their learning,
and let the discerning get guidance—
Proverbs Club Commentary
Instruction makes the Wise even wiser.
Coaching improves the discerning.
Instruction is general,
while coaching is specific and personal.

if they even think about them at all.

8) Whoever increases wealth
by taking interest or profit from the poor
amasses it for another,
who will be kind to the poor.
Proverbs Club Commentary
Profiting on the backs of the poor
causes the funds to be sent
to those who help the poor.

13) Take the garment of one who puts up security for a stranger;
hold it in pledge if it is done for an outsider.
Proverbs Club Commentary
When an outsider pledges for your debtor,
obtain collateral first before agreement.
This protects you from financial loss.
