Proverbs 3:13 Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding,14 for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold.
15 She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her.
16 Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor.
17 Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace.
18 She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her; those who hold her fast will be blessed.

Wisdom is a tree of life, and she's a woman. Love that.


Also,

Proverbs 16:32 Better a patient person than a warrior, one with self-control than one who takes a city.

That one struck me hard when I was 15. Had a lot going on.

Pro 30:3
I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy.
Pro 30:4
 Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?
Pro 30:5
Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
Pro 30:6
Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

crossnote said:
Solomon with his hundreds probably had no divorces either...hard to compute.
Click to expand...
I don't think Solomon managed a biblical marriage with all the 100s. God didn't seem to agree to Solomon's idea of it being a good thing to do!

Proverbs 20:13 Do not love sleep, lest you come to poverty; Open your eyes, and you will be satisfied with bread.

it tells people not to be slothful and lazy. to WAKE UP and He promises us that we will be given bread.

I like it because it can be taken to mean physical sleep = physical hunger
or spiritual sleep = spiritual deprivation.

Proverbs 1:20
"Out in the open wisdom calls aloud, she raises her voice in the public square."

Reminds me of CC forums and that the general public needs to listen to Gods message and believe in His Son Jesus Christ.

I've got two:
1). "There is away that seemeth right to a man but the ends thereof lead to destruction."
- (but my favorite is)
2). "Answer not a fool according to his folly" - (speaking to all the new homosexual evolutionists on this site).
