… the new brilliant Bible translation by Eugene Peterson:

Excerpts from Proverbs 12, for your edification (or otherwise :-):

If you love learning, you love the discipline that goes with it – how shortsighted to refuse correction!

A hearty wife invigorates her husband, but a frigid woman is cancer in the bones.

A person who talks sense is honored; airheads are held in contempt.

Fools have short fuses and explode all too quickly; the prudent quietly shrug off insults.

Rash language cuts and maims, but there is healing in the words of the wise.

Prudent people don’t flaunt their knowledge; talkative fools broadcast their silliness.

Avagoodday!

Rowland Croucher
