Throw out the mocker

Posted September 22nd, 2005 by matt

“Throw out the mocker, and fighting, quarrels, and insults will disappear” Proverbs 22:10.

Several of today’s proverbs struck a chord with me; here are a few more that elicited comments/thoughts:

“Just as the rich rule the poor, so the borrower is servant to the lender” vs 7. Yes, slavery does exist today, it just has a different name, “Revolving Credit.”

“A youngster’s heart is filled with follishness, but discipline will drive it away” vs 15, and related: “Teach your children to choose the right pasth, and when they are older, they will remain upon it” vs 6.
