Confound Them with Kindness: Proverbs 25:21, 22 says "If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink; for you will heap coals of fire on his head, and the Lord will reward you." A common interpretation of this passage is that kindness is the best revenge, because it makes your enemy uncomfortable without you having to do anything immoral. | |

Slashed Throat | |
| Book of Proverbs / int_7e577db | comment |
Slashed Throat: Proverbs 23:1-3 suggests putting a knife to your own throat if you're a man given to appetite when you sit down to eat with a ruler, and to not desire his delicacies because they are deceptive food. Much like Jesus' command to "cut off your hand" or "gouge out your eye" so as to not let them lead you into sin, this proverb is most likely hyperbole in regard to social dining etiquette. | |

God of Evil: In regards of evil, Proverbs states that anything can be good in the proper context and that God allows it to exist to show that without moral value, people are no better than the animals they share this life with. Though Solomon said this after years of experimenting with "evil" and suffering the consequences for it. | |

Composite Character: The Wife of Noble Character is an amalgam of all the roles a "respectable" woman of that time and place could play. Unfortunately, some take this to mean that a "worthy" woman must do it all, or that if she's infertile/Hollywood Homely/not a shrewd businessperson/whatever, she's unworthy or not a "real" woman, or that she must be a mother first and foremost even if she doesn't want to be a mom, or that a woman's place is in the home (despite her very clearly not remaining solely in the private sphere). She was created not to tell women what they should be doing, but to encourage men to appreciate the work done by the women in their lives, the way her husband does. | |

The Vamp | |
| Book of Proverbs / int_eae41a | comment |
The Vamp: Chapter 7 is all about the adulterous woman who seeks after a young man to have sex with, and entices him with such promises that he goes in unto her, unaware that it's going to cost him his life, and from that comes the Aesop of not falling for such women. | |

Showing Up Chauvinists | |
| Book of Proverbs / int_ed508250 | comment |
Showing Up Chauvinists: The book ends with a poem called "The Wife of Noble Character", which paints a word-picture of the ideal woman. Some traits it praises are ones you'd expect, like kindness, caring for her family, and generosity, but other traits include being business-savvy and making piles of money. | |
