Here some of my favorites from Chapter 12
1. Verse 3 "You can't find firm footing in a swamp, but life rooted in God stands firm."
2. Verse 8 "A person who talks sense in honored; airheads are held in contempt."
3. Verse 14/15 "Well-spoken words bring satisfaction; well-done work has its own reward. Fools are headstrong and do what they like; wise people take advice."
4. Verse 22 "God can't stomach liars; he loves the company of those who keep their word."
Although chapters 10-30 are "random" bits of wisdom, they all still follow the same theme that was laid out for us in the first nine chapters. Wisdom is the best way of life, follow God, ask for his wisdom. Remember, you aren't just that lucky to get it if you don't ask for it.
What stuck out to me the most today were 2 things: 1. Wise people take advice-wow! How many times have we asked for advice, only to do what we want to do anyways, and 2. Life rooted in God stands firm. How true is that?! My life always goes better when I ask God to help guide me, or to show me glimpses of him in others. I love Proverbs!
What do you think?

My favs of ch 12...
10 Good people are good to their animals; the "good-hearted" bad people kick and abuse them.
14 Well-spoken words bring satisfaction; well-done work has its own reward.
17 Truthful witness by a good person clears the air, but liars lay down a smoke screen of deceit.
22 God can't stomach liars; he loves the company of those who keep their word.
