My Favorite Proverbs
"Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates reproof is stupid" (12:1).
"Withhold not correction from a child: for if thou strike him with the rod, he shall not die. Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and deliver his soul from hell" (23:13-14).
"Like a golden ring in a swine's snout is a beautiful woman with a rebellious disposition" (11:22).
"It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a quarellsome woman and in a wide house" (25:24).
Sometimes the Bible is great for the entertainment value.
