Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What does Proverbs 4:23 say to "keep thy heart with"?

Answer: all diligence

Proverbs 4:23 "Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life."

Diligence is another word for caution, so the Bible says we should be careful with our heart. That is, we should not react on emotions alone.

2. What does Solomon say he leads "in the way of" in Proverbs 8:20?

Answer: righteousness

Proverbs 8:20 "I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment."

Solomon was considered a very righteous man, that is he lived his life according to the Law.

3. What makes a glad father according to Proverbs 10:1?

Answer: a wise son

Proverbs 10:1 "The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother."

Solomon must have made David very glad because Solomon is considered one of the wisest men in the Bible.

4. What does Proverbs 10:12 say "covers up all sin"?

Answer: love

Proverbs 10:12 "Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins."

Later on, in the New Testament when Jesus gives His life for our sins this same theme is shown again. His love, covers our sins when we choose to believe in Him. This verse in Proverbs therefore may be seen as a prophetic verse.

5. What shall those who refuse instruction receive according to Proverbs 13:18?

Answer: Poverty and shame

Proverbs 13:18 "Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured."

This Bible verse is a warning to everyone.

6. What verse in chapter 17 could be paraphrased as "laughter is the best medicine"?

Answer: Proverbs 17:22

Proverbs 17:22 "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones."

7. What does Proverbs 20:13 say we shouldn't love?

Answer: sleep

Proverbs 20:13 "Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread."

This verse is another warning. It warns us not to be lazy.

8. According to Proverbs 22:6 when should parents start teaching their sons and daughters about the way to live?

Answer: when they are still young

Proverbs 22:6 "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."

Most life skills that we have we learn as children, so this verse would make sense.

9. What is better: open rebuke or secret love?

Answer: open rebuke

Proverbs 27:5 "Open rebuke is better than secret love."

If a person secretly loves someone, that other person would not know, so what good is that love. However, if a person openly rebukes a person, the other person would know just how they feel.

10. What is the last word in the book of Proverbs (KJV)?

Answer: gates

Proverbs 31:31 "Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates."

I hope you enjoyed this quiz. The next quiz in this series will be on the Ecclesiastes.
