2. 2
Proverbs 25:23 The north wind driveth away rain: so
doth an angry countenance a backbiting tongue.
We should never listen to a gossip.
They will always say bad things about our friends.
Get angry; “Don’t talk about my friends.”
“He is my brother, and I don’t want to hear this.”
“She is my sister; stop your trashy mouth.”

3. 24 It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop,
than with a brawling woman and in a wide house.
This is the third Proverb telling us it’s better to
3
live alone in an uncomfortable place,
Than in a beautiful and spacious home
with a brawling woman.
The reverse is just as true.

4. 4
Husbands and wives need to love one
another; with more than eros.
1 Corinthians 13 (NIV) 4 Love is patient, love is
kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not
proud. 5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not
easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the
truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always
hopes, always perseveres.

5. That is the genuine love of a husband for his wife,
5
and of a wife for her husband.
Patient and kind – all the time.
Never envious – “He doesn’t work as hard as I
do.” “She doesn’t work like I do.”
Never brags in his or her pride.
Never self-seeking; not demanding his or her
own way.

6. Genuine love of a husband and wife is not easily
6
angered, and never holds a grudge.
They protect one another.
They trust one another, and each is worthy of
that trust; no cheating or lying.
They are hopeful for the future.
Their love will never die.

7. 25 As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news
from a far country.
7
Remember this when you have friends or
relatives who have moved far away.

8. 8

9. 26 A righteous man falling down before the wicked
is as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring.
(TLB) 26 If a godly man compromises with the
wicked, it is like polluting a fountain or muddying
a spring.
Fifty shades of
9
grey.

10. 10
There can be no
compromise
between good
and evil.
God hates hands
that shed innocent
blood.

11. 11
27 It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to
search their own glory is not glory.
(NIV) 27 It is not good to eat too much honey, nor
is it honorable to seek one's own honor.
Proverbs 27 2 Let another man praise thee, and not
thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own
lips.
Nobody likes a braggart.

12. 28 He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a
city that is broken down, and without walls.
Self restraint is produced in us by
12
God’s Holy Spirit.
Submit unto Him and be strong.
