About Proverbs

Practical wisdom for daily living, largely from King Solomon.

Old Testament • Book #20

As coals are to hot embers, and wood to fire, so is a contentious man to kindling strife.

The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels, they go down into the innermost parts.

A malicious man disguises himself with his lips, but he harbors evil in his heart.

When his speech is charming, do not believe him; for there are seven abominations in his heart.
