Prov 17:6a
Children's children are a crown to the aged,
For those of us who are grandparents, doesn’t this ring true?

Prov 16:31
Gray hair is a crown of splendor; it is attained by a righteous life.
Guess we can put away our hair coloring lotions and wear our gray hair with pride.

Prov 27:15
A quarrelsome wife is like a constant dripping on a rainy day;
What an image that is! I much prefer this one:
 Prov 18:22
He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the LORD.

Prov 16:17
The highway of the upright avoids evil; he who guards his way guards his life.
Prov 22:5
In the paths of the wicked lie thorns and snares, but he who guards his soul stays far from them.
If we stay on the straight and narrow, the highway of the Lord, we will avoid the thorns and snares that would seek to entangle us when we are off the highway and all wound up in the ways of the world. Kinda reminds us about walking in the "good way".

Prov 28:2-3
When a country is rebellious, it has many rulers, but a man of understanding and knowledge maintains order.
Prov 29:12
If a ruler listens to lies, all his officials become wicked.
Sound familiar and applicable today?

Prov 3:25-26
Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked, for the Lord will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being snared.
What great comfort in this verse.  And also in this one.
Prov 14:32b
but even in death the righteous have a refuge.
No matter what sudden disaster or ruin may happen, we have the Lord as our refuge.  We have eternal life.

Prov 28:1
The wicked man flees though no one pursues but the righteous are as bold as a lion.
We can stand firm in our convictions and our refuge.  Those who are not Believers are paranoid (and for a very good reason - they don't have eternal life.)

Prov 23:17-18
Do not let your heart envy sinners, but always be zealous for the fear of the Lord.  There is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off.
Oh, to be zealous for the Lord!!!
