Thematic Bible: Spiritual wise


Thematic Bible



Like apples of gold in settings of silver, so is a word skillfully spoken.

The words of the wise are heard in quiet, more than the shouting of a ruler is heard among fools.



How painful are honest words! But what does your reproof prove?


The words of the sages are like prods, and the collected sayings are like firmly fixed nails; they are given by one shepherd.


The words of a wise person win him favor, but the words of a fool are self-destructive.
