Discuss Proverbs 17 Page 3

"A reproof enters more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool." In our modern age it is considered barbaric and inhumane to inflict physical punishments on criminals. But God knows better what it takes to break man's wicked mind and pride so that he might repent and change his ways. Yet it still demands a certain character to benefit from reproof and punishment, or there is no result.

Do God's will.

When a godly man dies his fears die. When a wicked man dies his hope dies.

God is good. Praise him for he is worthy of praise. Now about proverbs 17-Its best to keep mouth shut. Thank the Lord and give thanks for all things. It seems the less you say the better.

Verse 27: A wise person will chose his or her words carefully and not speak too much.

Verse 14. I think It means when strife is started from letting your mouth loose(letteth water) means from loose tongue. Brings (contention)meaning brings tention to your lips and out your tongue, it starts off a meddling you will be messed with. Off that. So basically stop talking

A proverb , a day help us keep the devil away. The devil comes in different shapes and forms to get us off course, when we least expect. The world check the horoscope daily, but we can check proverb daily on how to run our day and please literally do it. What ever the date, read that chapter, so today is 9-17, we read chapter 17, and on and on, when month short or long keep with the date. Shalom

Verse 5: If we were to rejoice at calamities then we would suffer punishment from God.

Verse 22: hope is good medicine for us as it can give us something to look forward to and make us happy at heart.

Verse 17 talks about what it means to be a true friend. Jehovah God proves to be the best example of this scripture. He is so patient and loving with us at all times even though we don't deserve it.

"He that hath knowledge spares his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit. Even a fool, when he holds his peace, is counted wise: and he that shuts his lips is esteemed a man of understanding." Being excited to learn is good; but it takes proof by experience to teach others. My Dad used to tell me, It's better to be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

"A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causes shame, and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren." In Matthew 8:11-12, as in many other places, the warning is clearly, that name and privilege does not give anyone a free pass, regardless of moral character. The fact that the Jews as a people have generally rejected Jesus, and that the Gentiles have received Him, shows this!

vs 2, Wise servant/shameful son (see Eccl. 10:7). The servant operating out of the authority of his imagination (heart) will rule (have power) over a son operating from the sense realm (human lusts, ie. prodigal son, Luke 15). The person that discovers their divine position ( Ps. 82:6, John 10:34) will share the inheritance (blessings) along with other like-minded ( Gal. 3:29) in Christ.

Lets practice delighting ourselves in the Lord , and remain as the Apple of God eyes.

Great proverb, all proverbs are inspiring in one way or another, thank God for the wisdom within them. One of my favorite understandings spoken from God is I have told My people they can have what they say, but My people are saying what they have.

I love proverbs 17:22 Worrying is like a rocking chair you rock and rock and rock and you get know where. So be happy in the Lord, because he's all you really need

thank you

Our heart is like a medicine. The word that comes to mind is love. Love heals. A broken spirit dries the bones. The word that comes to mind is will. Our will must be God's will. That's where our strength comes from.

A Merry heart doeth good like medicine but a broken spirit drieth the bones. Jesus love the cheerful giver and find his people who are lost what a beautiful God we serve. Praise you Jesus and i will worship you alone for you are worthy thanks to the blood Jesus amen

I love proverbs especially verse 22

Verse 8 seems to be a little ambiguous but I take it to mean as the eye (or the reflection of the soul) being the precious stone in it's marvelous beauty and perfect character, the gift.

I think the gift is a bribe, and it's a precious stone in his eyes because wherever he uses it, it will work it prospereth

A cheerful heart is a medication

This chapter was awesome I really enjoyed it. this chapter open my eyes. To some things I really didn 't understand

Some people feast on complaining about every thing, they look for the bad in the good instead of the good in the bad!

better to meet that bear than to lie about me and take my child away!

We all need to look in the mirror, especially me. Phil 4,13

When you sow evil you reap evil

this is the verse that makes me know that not having a cheerfull heart makes one sick that 's spell out dries the bone one word cancer and yet Gods word tells me we can be heal from any sickness just by being cheerfull in time of illness thank YOU LORD
