So, I’m reading through the Proverbs in the Christian Scriptures (they are the same ones that are in the Jewish Scriptures). I just hit chapter 17.
Try these on for size:
· Those who mock the poor insult their Maker; those who rejoice at the misfortune of others will be punished. (5)
· Grandchildren are the crowning glory of the aged; parents are the pride of their children. (6)
· Disregarding another person’s faults preserves love; telling about them separates close friends. (9)
· It is senseless to pay tuition to educate a fool who has no heart for wisdom. (16)
· Even fools are thought to be wise when they keep silent; when they kep their mouths shut, they seem intelligent. (28)
