I was reading these and glazing over with a lack of understanding. I actually flipped over to The Message and then researched the ones that still confused me. Here is the read in the Message.
This one cracked me up! I am a morning person…
14 If you wake your friend in the early morning
by shouting “Rise and shine!”
It will sound to him
more like a curse than a blessing.
BTW, my husband wrote verse 15 and 16 in your Bible!
BUT I want you to stop and just marinate in a familiar verse:
As iron sharpens iron,
so one person sharpens another.
This is the Proverb I use the most. I don’t have many friends, but the few that I do I chose wisely. This verse is not about having someone in my life that makes me a better Christian, it is about both of us becoming better Christians because of each other. I have a really close friend, and when I need sharpening she is the iron I go to. She will not tell me what I want to hear, she will tell me what I need to hear.
Proverbs 28 and 29: Anyone care to share any thoughts?

29:20 – 😀 “Do you see an man who speaks too soon? There is more hope for a fool than him.” Found that man in the mirror. So much wisdom here about my mouth. 😉.

I loved 27:14!! because I am not a morning person and do not appreciate anyone who tries to wake me early in the morning.

The one who conceals his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them will find mercy.
