•     Solomon’s father was David and his mother was Bathsheba

•     The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge.

•     In chapter 1, Wisdom is described as pursuing us, but in chapter 2, we are instructed to pursue wisdom

•     True or False – Solomon indicates that wisdom is easy to attain?  False

•     In chapter four, Solomon told his son to guard his heart

•     In chapter six, Solomon names seven things God hates and calls them an abomination.

16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

Mischief – the word describes what is harmful, hurtful, or injurious, especially to someone.

23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

14 Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.

15 Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.

9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.

5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

Discord – strife, contention, disputes, quarrels

Brethren – relatives or joined by close relation

1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;

21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:

23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,

2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;

3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.

9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

20 Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.

4 A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue.

13 A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.

9 He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.

29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

15 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.

17 He that is first in his own cause seemeth just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him.

19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

51 Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth?
