Proverbs 30:17

The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.

How bad is a teenager rolling his eyes at parents? God sent His answer by the pen of Agur the prophet. Birds of prey will rip out the eyeballs of such terrible children and eat them! God will make them a public spectacle with horrific judgment for this wicked crime against father or mother. How much more the disrespect commonly allowed today!

Proverbs 5:19

Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.

Contentment with your wife is crucial to a happy marriage. Solomon warned his son to make three important choices – cherish his wife tenderly as a delicate object of affection, appreciate her body and sexuality only, and let her affection and devotion consume him. This inspired proverb contains some of the most necessary marital advice for husbands. A man can profit very much by learning and doing this wisdom and that in Colossians 3:19.

Proverbs 6:6

Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:

Ants are great teachers (Pr 30:24-28). There are things you can learn from ants that will help you professionally more than your academic or technical education. Ants are diligent and prudent: diligent by working hard without coercion, and prudent by saving part of all production. These two basic necessities for success are generally neglected in modern societies, where pleasure is emphasized and deficit spending is encouraged.

Proverbs 11:22

As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion.

Beauty is not much, if the woman with it does not know how to act. It is hard to appreciate a gold nose ring on a 1000-pound, stinking, grunting, hairy pig! But this is a fair comparison to an attractive woman without personal grace to be pleasant company. An average looking woman without this discretion is just the sow without the nose ring!

Proverbs 16:4

The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.

Give Jehovah God glory! Fall before the King of heaven! Here are final and true answers to four of life's greatest questions: Where did all things come from? Why do they exist? Who is the true God? Why does evil exist? This single sentence is worth your weight in gold! Humble yourself before this axiom from heaven and learn wisdom for life!

Proverbs 22:2

The rich and poor meet together: the LORD is the maker of them all.

The rich and poor have many similarities. God Jehovah made them both. Learn their similarities, and do not despise or envy either one. A godly worldview is great wisdom.

Proverbs 11:16

A gracious woman retaineth honour: and strong men retain riches.

Here is one of the best proverbs. It has a simple rule for women to be great and a simple rule for men to be great, in just a few words. If you rank proverbs by brevity, wisdom, value, and clarity, this is one of the best. Love these ten words and the wisdom they give.

Proverbs 14:15

The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going.

Skepticism is a virtue. Caution is a sign of nobility. Demanding proof is wisdom. Only the foolish and stupid believe all they hear or read. A wise and successful man will examine things carefully, before he makes his decision. He understands the risks and rewards before he chooses a course of action. He does nothing by chance or mere hope.

Random Proverb

Proverbs 7:18

Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves.

Is lust love? Is sex love? Does lust or sex prove love? Is an offer of sex an offer of love? Is having sex truly lovemaking? Or are these terms often confused to the ruin of lives?
