More Proverbs of Solomon

1 These are more proverbs of Solomon, collected by the scribes of Hezekiah, king of Judah.

2 God's greatness is in doing things that can't be known, while the greatness of kings is in revealing things.

3 Just as the height of the heavens or the depth of the earth can't be known, the king's thinking can't be known.

4 Remove the waste from the silver, and the silversmith has pure silver to work with.

5 Remove the wicked from the king's presence and the king will rule securely and justly.

6 Don't try to make yourself look great before the king, and don't pretend to be among the important people,

7 for it's better to be told, “Come up here,” than to be humiliated before a nobleman. Even though you've seen something with your own eyes,

8 don't rush to take legal action, for what are you going to do in the end when your neighbor shows you're wrong and humiliates you?

9 Discuss the case with your neighbor himself, and don't betray someone else's secret,

10 otherwise whoever hears it will make you ashamed and you'll never lose your bad reputation.

11 Advice given at the right time is like golden apples set in silver.

12 Constructive criticism from the wise to someone who listens is like a gold ring and a necklace of fine gold.

13 Faithful messengers are as refreshing to their master as cold snow on a hot harvest day.

14 Someone who boasts about a gift they never give is like cloud and wind without rain.

15 If you're patient you can persuade your superior, and soft words can break down opposition.

16 If you find honey, eat just enough, for if you eat too much, you'll be sick.

17 Don't set foot in your neighbors' homes too often, otherwise they'll get fed up with you and hate you.

18 Telling lies in court against a friend is like attacking them with a mace, or a sword, or an arrow.

19 Trusting in unreliable people in times of trouble is like eating with a broken tooth or walking on a bad foot.

20 Singing happy songs to someone who's broken-hearted is like taking off your coat on a cold day, or pouring vinegar onto an open wound.

21 If your enemy is hungry, give him something to eat; if he's thirsty, give him a drink of water.

22 This will make him ashamed as if he had burning coals piled on his head, and the Lord will reward you.

23 In the same way that the north wind brings rain, slandering people makes them angry.

24 It's better to live in a corner of a housetop than to share a whole house with an argumentative wife.

25 Good news from a distant country is like cold water to an exhausted traveler.

26 Good people who give in to the wicked are like a muddied spring or a polluted well.

27 It's not good to eat too much honey, or to want too much praise.

28 Someone without control is as exposed as a town whose walls have been breached. — Proverbs 25 | Free Bible Version (FBV) The Free Bible Version is a project of Free Bible Ministry; Copyright © 2018, Free Bible Ministry.

Being a man is not just about looking like a man, but to work hard and work hard, to be able to control your emotions and be responsible for your actions.

What matters is the man inside and how he treats others. A real man does not demean others in order to elevate himself.

The wise King Solomon wrote in the book of Proverbs, "The patient is better than the strong, and he who possesses himself is better than the conqueror of a city." Knowing how to master his spirit and emotions makes a man truly strong.

Walking Intimately

There’s an interesting verb used with both Enoch and Noah that denotes intimate fellowship—the word is “walked.” The way we choose to walk with God today is just as vital.

The Value of Wisdom

The Value of Wisdom

In 1 Kings 3, Solomon, who had succeeded his father David as king over Israel, was give an open invitation to ask for a blessing from God (1 Kings 3:5).  One can only being to imagine the things that most people would probably ask for. God even remarked on some of the things Solomon might have asked for in verse 11 (long life, riches, victory over enemies).  But Solomon didn’t ask for any of…

I wake up, at sunrise, in a cottage filled with books about the mysteries of the universe and divinity and nature and humanity. My window is toward the east so I can see the sunrise from inside, but I'm going to get up anyway. I wake my beloved up. Takes a while because they love to sleep, but eventually they do (they have such kind brown eyes). We get up and watch the sunrise before taking the flocks to browse among the lilies in the garden-forests and green pastures and still waters, all the while we eat fruit from the trees and write/read poetry together

Also we laugh at the king a lot because lmao you wish you were us get rekt fool

A Few Things For Us To Think About ( #1840 )

A Few Things For Us To Think About ( #1840 )   1.) If we were to design our life after that of a young King Solomon will we not also become wise? 2.) If we seek wisdom, I believe that a very good read is in the Book of Proverbs chapter s 10-31! 3.) The simple folks love fake knowledge through studying only that which is simple! 4.) There is wisdom that is hidden in things other than in finances…

Lemuel's Lesson

Neal Pollard I am blessed with a wise woman for a wife. My three sons would tell you that every time they consult her for wisdom, she never disappoints. I think that is because she draws, as the source of her wisdom, on God’s Word. She has filled her heart with it, and that’s what comes out when she interacts. Especially does she want to get that right when offering guidance to her sons.  King…

SATURDAY MATINEE MUSIC VIDEO: “One Wonderful Smile” (live in Massachusetts)  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gs07DBO_d8   ...The power of a smile is a mysterious force—hard to define yet universal. People talk about how “a perfect smile” got them through a job interview or defrosted an argument or led to a dream date. There’s the phrase “God smiled down that day.” King Solomon wrote, ““A cheerful look brings joy to the heart; good news makes for good health.” + “A glad heart makes a happy face; a broken heart crushes the spirit.”  Ultimately a smile is a light that comes from the heart—a constant work in progress. I wrote this song about the wonders of a smile:  

This could be a commercial for the dental industry, but the title was really inspired by SMILE-era Beach Boys. I wrote it on a Saturday night after a stressful, painful week. I’d just finishing opening for a punk band at a theatre in California. I was upstairs in contemplation, eyes closed, my mind playing back smiling faces of people who’d encouraged me over the years, and I quickly wrote this song (despite the din downstairs). On a cosmic jukebox it would play between Leo Kottke, Sting, and Dennis Wilson.

Proverbs 25:21+22

If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat;

if he is thirsty, give him water to drink.

In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head,

and the Lord will reward you.

The Perfect Date

On the radio, two disc jockeys were interviewing a man about his recent first date. My daughter just got asked on a date for her first time, and as we traveled through northern Arizona on our family vacation, I thought listening to this interview might present a teaching moment. I just didn’t know yet whether the teaching moment would be for her or me. My goodness, having your baby girl asked out…

Wisdom for Life (Proverbs 11:1-31)

Anyone can find the dirt in someone. Be the one to find the gold.

The Lord detests dishonest scales,    but delights in an accurate weight.When pride comes, so does shame,    but wisdom brings humility.Integrity guides the virtuous,    but dishonesty ruins the treacherous.Riches don’t help in the day of wrath,    but righteousness rescues from death.The righteousness of the innocent makes their path straight,    but the wicked fall in their wickedness.Those who…

Proverbial Wisdom

I mentioned earlier this year that I am studying the book of Proverbs. (“The Message” version.) The amount of wisdom this book contains is remarkable. God certainly answered Solomon’s request. When God asked him what he wanted, he said, “Wisdom.” 9 “Here’s what I want: Give me a God-listening heart so I can lead your people well, discerning the difference between good and evil. For who on their…
