Chapter 17

This chapter is like 16.  Complete thoughts in each verse, with the last of the verse building on the first part or adding a second example, or expanding the principle.  And the occasional "break" thrown in.

2021 - This is a favorite of mine.  Was surprised to see I didn't have it in here:

12 Let a man meet a she-bear robbed of her cubs rather than a fool in his folly. [Pro 17:12 ESV]

I think about riots.  You don't want to run into rioters.  Reason, logic, mercy, cause and effect - none of these exist when you run into a mob, into a pack of fools doing what they do.
