In the light of the king's countenance is life; and his favour is as a cloud of the latter rain.

|
20
The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.

28
A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into the way that is not good.
|
|
29
He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things: moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass.
|
|
31
He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.

All SCRIPTURE TEXT has Context and Background. Text should never be read literally or in isolation. Always seek clarification from religious scholars and teachers. In general, to study Text requires four principles:1. Literal Meaning - What the Text says
2. Historical Setting - The story events; how the Text was understood in its time
3. Grammar - The surrounding sentence and paragraph; textual context
4. Synthesis - A comparison with similar Texts to give a better contextual understanding
