Don’t Be a Fool (Proverbs 12)

1. Don’t be stupid!

“The sages felt that mistakes provided opportunities for learning. They also apparently assumed that everyone would make mistakes along the way. What they could not tolerate, however, was an attitude of defensiveness that refuses to admit mistakes. True learners, truly wise persons, are those who desire to know when they have done wrong so that they can change their behavior.” —Tremper Longman

2. Wives, don’t be rottenness in your husband’s bones!

3. Don’t be slothful!

“Here, one who is determined, who will work hard, will be in charge, while the slack or lazy person will be forced to work.” —Tremper Longman

4. Don’t be a liar!
