Chapters 10-30 in Proverbs are the little pieces of wisdom that Solomon wrote. I think for the next 20 chapters I will pick my favorite Proverbs, and then you can comment on what your favorite ones are too.
Chapter 10
1. Verse 9..."The man of integrity walks securely, but he who takes crooked paths will be found out." Someone should have told this to all the invest and mortgage bankers!
2. Verse 11..."The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, but violence overwhelms the mouth of the wicked." I need to be reminded of this daily!
3. Verse 19..."When words are many, sin is not absent, but he holds his tongue is wise." I need this plastered on my husband's forehead when I want to say something that is viewed as disrespectful. So when I see it up there, I will keep my mouth closed!
4. Verse 29..."The way of the Lord is a refuge for the righteous, but it is the ruin of those who do evil." The Lord is my refuge and strength, forever and ever!

My favs for Chapter 10 are...
5 Make hay while the sun shines—that's smart; go fishing during harvest—that's stupid.
I love it when the Bible is blunt!!
11 The mouth of a good person is a deep, life-giving well, but the mouth of the wicked is a dark cave of abuse.
22 God's blessing makes life rich;
nothing we do can improve on God.
25 When the storm is over, there's nothing left of the wicked; good people, firm on their rock foundation, aren't even fazed.
