63b — The ABC’s of Bible Proverbs
My Favorite Bible Proverbs!
Good advice from God — who doesn’t want that?! We know Solomon did, because many of the wise thoughts he asked God to give him are recorded in the Old Testament book called “The Proverbs.” And I’m guessing you’d like some too, so I’ve taken the time to list 26 of my favorite Bible proverbs by King Solomon.
Complete These 26 Bible Proverbs
Hint: The 26 missing words appear in alphabetical order. That means the first one starts with A and the last one starts with Z. Well, for X and Z, I may have fudged a little bit — but I think you’ll be able to figure them out anyway. (If you don’t have a King James Bible, I made sure other translations like NIV, NKJV, ESV, and NASB will work also.)
