Proverbs 25 may sound familiar. These are from Solomon but compiled during the time of Hezekiah. Exalting ourselves, false testimony, and boasting are condemned. How to treat an enemy is mentioned. Quarrelsome wives are criticized.

Wise judgment is like gold and silver. Patience, temperance, and self-control are praised.

Contradictions in the Bible are a complaint many have. Proverbs 26:3-6 is said to contain these. If you act foolishly in front of a fool, you are sinking to his level. You need to present him with the facts. The foolish can become wise, but not until they recognize their own foolishness.

The lazy is another group that is dealt with here. They seem to always have an excuse for not working. They are too lazy to even feed themselves.
