Picking out single proverbs and using them to control or shame others is a dangerous game. But it happens.

I was thinking about my own little community as I read along, and then I realized, I actually have more than one little community, or networks like some might call them, as most people do.

I got a little shiver down my spine after reading verse 13 (ewww, and it’s #13 - and double ewww, I’m actually writing this on Halloween):

Sometimes reading Proverbs is like trying to put a puzzle together from the pieces of a thousand different puzzles.

As an editor, I couldn’t help but notice the change in verse and tempo starting in verse 17 of this proverb. What the hay? It feels like this section should go at the end of the book of Proverbs to kind of wrap things up.
