Nuggets of Wisdom

6 Whoever sends a message by the hand of a fool cuts off his own feet and drinks violence.

4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest you be like him yourself. 5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes.

2 Like a sparrow in its flitting, like a swallow in its flying, a curse that is causeless does not alight.

1 Like snow in summer or rain in harvest, so honor is not fitting for a fool.

28 A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls.

27 It is not good to eat much honey, nor is it glorious to seek one's own glory.

26 Like a muddied spring or a polluted fountain is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked.

25 Like cold water to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.
