THEME of Proverbs
Wisdom
TRUST IN THE LORD
Proverbs 3:5-8
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD, and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones.
WISDOM FOR PURITY
Proverbs 5-7
My son, be attentive to my wisdom; incline your ear to my understanding, that you may keep discretion, and your lips may guard knowledge. For the lips of a forbidden woman drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil, but in the end she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword. Her feet go down to death; her steps follow the path to Sheol; she does not ponder the path of life; her ways wander, and she does not know it…
THE LORD’S HATE LIST
Proverbs 6:16-19
There are six things that the LORD hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.
TONGUE WARNINGS
Proverbs 10:18-20
The one who conceals hatred has lying lips, and whoever utters slander is a fool. When words are many, transgression is not lacking, but whoever restrains his lips is prudent. The tongue of the righteous is choice silver; the heart of the wicked is of little worth.
A GENTLE ANSWER TURNS AWAY WRATH
Proverbs 15:1
A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
MAN’S PLANS, GOD’S DIRECTION
Proverbs 16:9
The heart of man plans his way, but the LORD establishes his steps.
PRIDE GOES BEFORE DESTRUCTION
Proverbs 16:18-19
Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. It is better to be of a lowly spirit with the poor than to divide the spoil with the proud.
HE WHO STATES HIS CASE FIRST
Proverbs 18:17
The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him.
WINE IS A MOCKER
Proverbs 20:1
Wine is a mocker, strong drink a brawler, and whoever is led astray by it is not wise.
THE HEART IS LIKE DEEP WATER
Proverbs 20:5
The purpose in a man’s heart is like deep water, but a man of understanding will draw it out.
TRAIN UP A CHILD
Proverbs 22:6
Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.
DISCIPLINE WITH THE ROD
Proverbs 23:13-14
Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you strike him with a rod, he will not die. If you strike him with the rod, you will save his soul from Sheol.
MEN SHARPENING
Proverbs 27:17
Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.
THE TWO TOOLS OF PARENTING
Proverbs 29:15
The rod and reproof give wisdom, but a child left to himself brings shame to his mother.
