Proverbs Commentary

Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.

In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found: but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.

To call passengers who go right on their ways:

For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,

A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.

By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.

Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.

The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.

Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.

I have peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows.
