Here is a good proverb: "I wisdom, dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge and discretion. The fear of the LORD is to hate evil; Pride and arrogance and the evil way, And the perverse mouth I hate. Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom. I am understanding , I have strength." I was blessed reading this.

Here is another proverb about wisdom that blessed me in Chapter 8. It is Proverbs chapter 8:29-31 "When He marked out the foundations of the earth, Then I was beside Him as a master craftsman, And I was daily His delight, Rejoicing always before Him, Rejoicing in His inhabited world, And my delight was with the sons of men."

 My very favorite! "Love is like a basket of 5 loaves and 2 fishes...there is never enough 'til you start to give it away."

Thank you for enlightening me about Proverbs. I know when we have knowledge of the Lord from the Bible it is ammo against the devil.
