Proverbs 26

Message

 11 As a dog returns to its vomit,
      so a fool repeats his foolishness.

Commands

4 Don’t answer the foolish arguments of fools,
      or you will become as foolish as they are.

 5 Be sure to answer the foolish arguments of fools,
      or they will become wise in their own estimation.

Promise

Warning

 12 There is more hope for fools
      than for people who think they are wise.

 20 Fire goes out without wood,
      and quarrels disappear when gossip stops.

 27 If you set a trap for others,
      you will get caught in it yourself.
   If you roll a boulder down on others,
      it will crush you instead.

28 A lying tongue hates its victims,
      and flattering words cause ruin.

Application and Prayer

I ask your help Father for me not to be slave again
