Proverbs 25:
24 It is better to live in a corner of the housetop
than in a house shared with a quarrelsome wife.
25 Like cold water to a thirsty soul,
so is good news from a far country.
26 Like a muddied spring or a polluted fountain
is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked.
27 It is not good to eat much honey,
nor is it glorious to seek one's own glory.
28 A man without self-control
is like a city broken into and left without walls.
The title to this chapter tells us these were proverbs of Solomon passed down and recorded centuries later in the days of Hezekiah the king. He too was a man who sought and responded to wisdom. Those above help us examine our motives and priorities for important aspects of our lives like marriage, integrity, and character. They beg the question: "What do I want to end up with at the end of the day and end of my life. Such wisdom is not elusive; it waits for us.
