Looked for a tent of the upright and couldn't find one, but I'm still looking.
Some random thoughts about random proverbs experienced in this reading.
"The house of the wicked will be destroyed,but the tent of the upright will flourish."
The wicked may have more - a house instead of a tent - but it accounts for nothing in the end. Better a tent on earth than house on fire.
"The blessing of the Lord brings wealth,and He adds no trouble to it."
Finally, I've wondered for a long time how we could know if wealth is a blessing from God or a curse from Satan. The difference is the Lord's wealth adds to trouble to our lives. So it's in how we view wealth and how we use it.
"What the wicked dreads will overtake him;what the righteous desire will be granted."
Difference in attitude because of our relationship with the Lord. Because of Him, we view things differently. The wicked dread. The righteous desires and is fulfilled.
"If a man digs a pit, he will fall into it;if a man rolls a stone, it will roll back on him."
On our own, whatever we do is bound to fail. And...this may very well be the inspiration and the origin of physical comedy.
