About Proverbs

Practical wisdom for daily living, largely from King Solomon.

Old Testament • Book #20

Blessed is the man who always fears; but one who hardens his heart falls into trouble.

As a roaring lion or a charging bear, so is a wicked ruler over helpless people.

A man who is tormented by life blood will be a fugitive until death; no one will support him.

Whoever walks blamelessly is kept safe; but one with perverse ways will fall suddenly.
