Proverbs 26:1

Proverbs 26:1

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

Snow in summer and rain at harvest are not just unusual — they are harmful. Snow ruins summer crops; rain at harvest ruins the grain. In the same way, giving honour to a fool is not merely inappropriate, it is damaging to the community. Honour must be earned by wisdom and righteousness, not merely assigned.

Memory phrase: Honour fits the wise.

Talk about it: Why does honour only belong to someone who is wise?

Prayer: God, help me to be wise and worthy of honour.
