3 It is an honor for a man to keep aloof from strife,
but every fool will be quarreling.
4 The sluggard does not plow in the autumn;
he will seek at harvest and have nothing.
5 The purpose in a man’s heart is like deep water,
but a man of understanding will draw it out.
6 Many a man proclaims his own steadfast love,
but a faithful man who can find?
7 The righteous who walks in his integrity—
blessed are his children after him!
Point Number 1
3 It is an honor for a man to keep aloof from strife,
but every fool will be quarreling.
14 The beginning of strife is like letting out water,
so quit before the quarrel breaks out.
11 Good sense makes one slow to anger,
and it is his glory to overlook an offense.
15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes,
but a wise man listens to advice.
1 Like snow in summer or rain in harvest,
so honor is not fitting for a fool.
5 Answer a fool according to his folly,
lest he be wise in his own eyes.
28 Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise;
when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent.
6 A fool’s lips walk into a fight,
and his mouth invites a beating.

4 The sluggard does not plow in the autumn;
he will seek at harvest and have nothing.
Point Number 3
5 The purpose in a man’s heart is like deep water,
but a man of understanding will draw it out.
26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.
11 For who knows a person’s thoughts except the spirit of that person, which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God. 13 And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual.
Point Number 4
6 Many a man proclaims his own steadfast love,
but a faithful man who can find?
10 “One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much. 11 If then you have not been faithful in the unrighteous wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches?
Point Number 5
7 The righteous who walks in his integrity—
blessed are his children after him!
9 Whoever walks in integrity walks securely,
but he who makes his ways crooked will be found out.
35 The wise will inherit honor,
but fools get disgrace.
1 The proverbs of Solomon.
A wise son makes a glad father,
but a foolish son is a sorrow to his mother.
6 And Solomon said, “You have shown great and steadfast love to your servant David my father, because he walked before you in faithfulness, in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart toward you. And you have kept for him this great and steadfast love and have given him a son to sit on his throne this day.
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and man.
24 Whoever spares the rod hates his son,
but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him.
24 “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
26 And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.
14 The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life,
that one may turn away from the snares of death.
7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, 8 which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight
