I've been reading in Proverbs lately and these verses have compelled me to hold my tongue and let God move in some frustrating and hurtful circumstances.... so I am posting them here to keep them fresh.
Proverbs 22
3 A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it
Proverbs 20
3 It is to a man's honor to avoid strife, but every fool is quick to quarrel.
Proverbs 19
2 It is not good to have zeal without knowledge, nor to be hasty and miss the way
Proverbs 18
2 A fool finds no pleasure in understanding but delights in airing his own opinions.
12 Before his downfall a man's heart is proud, but humility comes before honor.
13 He who answers before listening— that is his folly and his shame
15 The heart of the discerning acquires knowledge; the ears of the wise seek it out.
17 The first to present his case seems right, till another comes forward and questions him.
Proverbs 17
7 Arrogant [eloquent] lips are unsuited to a fool— how much worse lying lips to a ruler! (Makes me feel secure in the knowledge that God can vindicate me)
27 A man of knowledge uses words with restraint, and a man of understanding is even-tempered.
28 Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue
