Do you need a reason not to drink? Proverbs 20 says that wine is a mocker and beer make you a brawler. Most of us know this is true because we have seen others react these ways after a few adult beverages.

The proverbs about kings can be applied to our elected officials. Their anger can be like a roaring lion, and they can endanger you. These leaders should use discernment when making decisions. The wise official should be able to identify the wicked. Loyalty and trustworthiness are desired. Integrity makes us and our children happy.

It is honorable to resolve disputes. Causing them is foolish. No one can claim to be without faults. God disapproves falsifying measurements. Even young people are known by their actions. God gave us sight and hearing.

Goofing off will cause a shortage in food. Sleeping more means less time to make a living. Don’t allow others to dispute the value of your work. Defrauding others won’t give you what you want.

Council enables us to draw out the deep thoughts that we need to understand situations. Knowledge is a valuable treasure. We are again reminded to beware of offering security for someone else that is borrowing.

Gossip and talking more than necessary will lead to problems. Cursing your father or mother adds darkness to your life. Premature inheritances will not ultimately be a blessing.

Leave vengeance to the Lord. The strength of the young is an attribute. The splendor of the elderly is their gray hair. Suffering purges evil in your soul.
