Nuggets of Wisdom

3 A man who loves wisdom brings joy to his father, but one who consorts with prostitutes squanders his wealth.

2 When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people groan.

28 When the wicked rise to power, people go into hiding; but when the wicked perish, the righteous thrive.

27 Those who give to the poor will lack nothing, but those who close their eyes to them receive many curses.

26 Those who trust in themselves are fools, but those who walk in wisdom are kept safe.

25 The greedy stir up conflict, but those who trust in the LORD will prosper.

24 Whoever robs their father or mother and says, "It's not wrong," is partner to one who destroys.

23 Whoever rebukes a person will in the end gain favor rather than one who has a flattering tongue.
