Proverbs

“These are the proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel,”

“These are the proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel,”

“These are additional proverbs of Solomon, which were copied by the men of Hezekiah king of Judah:”

“Then a man who lived there replied, “And who is their father?” So the saying became a proverb: “Is Saul also among the prophets?””

“As the old proverb says, ‘Wickedness proceeds from the wicked.’ But my hand will never be against you.”

“Against whom has the king of Israel come out? Whom are you pursuing? A dead dog? A flea?”

“Abner was furious over Ish-bosheth’s accusation. “Am I the head of a dog that belongs to Judah?” he asked. “All this time I have been loyal to the house of your father Saul, to his brothers, and to his friends. I have not delivered you into the hand of David, but now you accuse me of wrongdoing with this woman!”

“Then the woman said, “Long ago they used to say, ‘Seek counsel at Abel,’ and that is how disputes were settled.”
