About Proverbs

Practical wisdom for daily living, largely from King Solomon.

Old Testament • Book #20

The words of a man's mouth are like deep waters. The fountain of wisdom is like a flowing brook.

To be partial to the faces of the wicked is not good, nor to deprive the innocent of justice.

A fool's mouth is his destruction, and his lips are a snare to his soul.

The words of a gossip are like dainty morsels: they go down into a person's innermost parts.
