It’s fair to say that my enthusiasm for Proverbs is waning. I’m not sure I’m learning anything new, beyond my “mosaic” image, for what the book as a whole is doing. But, every now and then one hits me with a sense of freshness and surprise: “An honest answer is like a kiss on the lips.” (Proverbs 24:26)
At their best, they’re simple, memorable and striking. I’ll remember that one, no doubt about it.
