Salient points:

• When someone becomes angry with me, I should answer gently, thoughtfully, lovingly.
• Abaddon is rendered "destruction" in v.11.
• Those who get things done clear the way for productive activity (v.19).
• We all need multiple advisers (v.22).

Challenge:

• Keep the highway clear.
• Deal with clutter, overdue tasks, unpaid bills, follow-up, etc.
• "Life is not lost by dying; life is lost minute by minute, day by dragging day, in all the thousand small uncaring ways." — Benet (1898-1943)

Version:

• Today I read from the paraphrase The Message.
• (Note: where Peterson has misunderstood Sheol to mean hell, I changed the word to grave, or some other term more in line with the Hebrew and Israelite theology.)
