Analogies of Wisdom
Pro 25:9 LSB - [9] Plead your case with your neighbor, And do not reveal the secret of another,
Pro 25:15 LSB - [15] When one is slow to anger, a ruler may be persuaded, And a soft tongue breaks the bone.
Pro 25:28 LSB - [28] [Like] a city that is broken into [and] without a wall Is a man without restraint over his spirit.
Pro 26:11 LSB - [11] Like a dog that returns to its vomit Is a fool who repeats his folly.
2Pe 2:20-22 ESV -
[20] For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first.
[21] For it would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than after knowing it to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them.
[22] What the true proverb says has happened to them: "The dog returns to its own vomit, and the sow, after washing herself, returns to wallow in the mire."
Pro 26:12 LSB - [12] Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.
Instructions and Warnings
Pro 27:1 LSB - [1] Do not boast about tomorrow, For you do not know what a day may bring forth.
[13] Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit."
[14] Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away.
[15] Instead, you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we will live and also do this or that."
