(OR, WHY BELIEVING IN GOD IS A GOOD IDEA)
If you've read proverbs you may have noticed that the writing is quite tricky, albeit random. So to add to the fun
we'll play the game of 'Proverbs Balderdash'. The rules are simple:
1. Choose a verse from the book of Proverbs
2. Make up some proverbs of your own (imitating the writing style of the writers of Proverbs, i.e. "The wise says... [insert random wisdom] But the fool does... [insert random folly]")
3. The next person that posts has to quote the passage of the proverb that is from the book of Proverbs and then quotes the reference, before making up their own. Here are the ones that WACES came up with:
Proverbs Balderdash (n.b. there are two real Proverbs)The sluggard says, "There is a lion outside!" or, "I will be murdered in the streets!"
Do not poke the eye of the camel, as you will otherwise face many hardships.
The wise man watches the cricket, whilst a man of folly looks as the grass grows
Discipline your son, or he will fall into the hands of satan. Then he will devour your soul.
A fool keeps his temper suppressed but a wise man keeps himself under control.
like a rooster crowing before the sun rises, so is the man who counts his grain before it is harvested.
Like a madman throwing deadly fire arrows, is a man who says "I was only joking"
The foolish dog follows its own tail, but the discerning dog neither follows nor remains.
The sluggard thinks himself tall and boasts he can slam the dunk. But the man of virtue finds himself short and takes into account his agility and lack of lankiness.
The LORD delights in the crowing rooster but the fattened calf is destined for slaughter ...Invite your friends to join in all the fun!
