Read Proverbs 14.1-35. In verse 5: How to assess a witness in court is a common concern of the book (6.19; 12.17; 19.28). The best criterion is the character of the witness: How does the person ordinarily act? In verse 13: As observed in v. 10, external behavior does not always mirror internal thought and feeling. People are too complex to be known completely from their actions. In verse 28: The glory of a king is not absolute but depends, surprisingly, on the people he rules. A witty critique of royal power. In verse 30: Passion can also be rendered "jealousy." Inner calmness has a beneficial effect on health. Comments or Questions..
