Solomon was famous for his wisdom, and the sayings of Solomon and other wise people were gathered together into the Book of Proverbs
If you want to be wise, respect and obey God. 1:7
Don't forget God's teaching, but always remember his commands. Then you will live for many years. and your life will be full of good things. 3:1, 2
Trust God with your all heart and don't rely on what you think you know. If you trust God in every part of your life, he will show you the way forward. 3:5, 6
Don't think you are wiser than you are; respect God and avoid evil. This is the way to a healthy life in body and in spirit.3:7, 8
A kind answer soothes away anger, but an unkind response makes anger worse. 15:1
If you speak kindly to people, you bring life; but lies and harmful words bring death. 15:4
Without fuel, a fire goes out; without gossip, disagreements melt away. 26:20
Don't go around with someone who gets angry all the time, for you may start to copy them and then you'll be in trouble too. 22:24, 25
Help people who are in need. Don't tell them to come back tomorrow if you can help them now. 3:27, 28
Pride goes before a fall. 16:18
If you make friends with wise people, you will become wise. If you make friends with fools, you will become a fool. 13:20
A fool does not enjoy learning from others but loves the sound of his own voice. 18:2
God is awesome!!!
