Thoughts from Proverbs

A few words of wisdom from the wisest man who ever lived...they made me stop and ponder for a while today. (Taken from Proverbs 17 in the English Standard Version.)

"The crucible is for silver, and the furnace is for gold, and the LORD tests hearts." Vs. 3

"Whoever mocks the poor insults his Maker..." Vs. 5a

"Whoever covers an offense seeks love, but he who repeats a matter separates close friends." Vs. 9

"A rebuke goes deeper into a man of understanding than a hundred blows into a fool." Vs. 10

"A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity." Vs. 17

"Whoever restrains his words has knowledge, and he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding." Vs. 27
