Be Humble And Hope For Recognition
Proverbs 25:6 (NIV)

6 Do not exalt yourself in the king’s presence,
and do not claim a place among his great men;
7 it is better for him to say to you, “Come up here,”
than for him to humiliate you before his nobles.

Proverbs Club Commentary

Never take a position higher than you deserve and risk embarrassment.
Humble yourself and possibly be recognized for your accomplishments.

Children And The Rod
Proverbs 23:13-14 (NIV)

13 Do not withhold discipline from a child;
if you punish them with the rod, they will not die.
14 Punish them with the rod
and save them from death.

Proverbs Club Commentary

Many adults insist that a child must never be physically disciplined.
This duel proverb rejects that philosophy.
The older the child becomes, the less effective the rod becomes.
