Proverbs 13-18

So far 13 is my fav. So much good in this one. Guess what it calls to mind??! Yes that's right bees and gees....a quote. It's probably my all time favorite, if I was forced at gun point to choose that is...and it goes a little something like this "Rudeness is a weak man's imitation of strength" Eric Hoffer. What the quote means and the chapter means to me is if you have "it" (it being internal strength, peace, wisdom, knowledge) theres no need to outwardly flaunt it. When you're happy with who you are, you are happy with who the world is.

Love the word folly, doesn't it just sound like a good time? I must be relating it to jolly?, a jolly folly!! If a jolly folly is wrong, I'm not 100% sure I wanna be right!

But seriously folks.....I do also love 14, for it is brimming with words of wisdom as well. vs 6, 7, 15, 17, 29, 30 are amongst my favorite

Chapter 15:5 , 13, 14, 15, 17, 22, 32, 33 are my favorites in this one

Chapter 16:22,23, 24....love these

Chapter 17: 5,9, 10, 15, 22, 27, 29.......

Chapter 18: 2,4, 8, 9, 13, 15

So, the ones I liked the most were ones I could relate to either because I see that they are my weaknesses or my strengths

Again, I'm not going to say much, because I don't think there is any reason to expound on these. They are so good and so clear. Is there any doubt as to the wisdom of Solomon? I mean, really.?

Tomorrow, Prov. 19-24
