Proverbs 11:12

Proverbs 11:12

Little Bible — for children and parents · Growth Figures · © Growth Figures. All rights reserved.

Contempt for neighbours is a mark of folly — it reveals a self-centred, proud heart. The person of understanding, however, exercises restraint. They do not voice every criticism or negative thought — wisdom includes knowing when silence is best.

Memory phrase: Wisdom keeps quiet.

Talk about it: Why is it wise to think before you speak?

Prayer: God, help me be kind and slow to judge others.
