Considering Proverbs 10:13-14
13 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. 14 Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.

Considering Proverbs 10:12
12 Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins. When we are full of hatred we will fight one another. Without a doubt.

Considering Proverbs 10:7
7 The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot.

Mankind is capable ofContinue reading “Considering Proverbs 10:7”
Considering Proverbs 10:6
Blessings are upon the head of the just: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked. What does this mean? Those who do justly receive blessing from God. That makes sense.

Considering Proverbs 10:2
2 Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death. As Christians, we know that the only righteousness that will deliver us from death is the righteousness of Jesus Christ. Our own righteousness is not enough and never will be. As Christians, we also know that there is nothing we can do to earn theContinue reading “Considering Proverbs 10:2”
Considering Proverbs 10:1
The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.

We can alsoContinue reading “Considering Proverbs 10:1”
