v1: It's better to be poor and do the right things than to be a fool before God, constantly speaking folly.
v5: Purgery is a serious offense, and according to Revelation, all liars wind up in the lake of fire for eternity.
v6: If you have power, influence or money, everyone acts like your friend.
v8: If you become a Christian (Acts 2 38) then it means you love your soul because you don't want it to suffer eternal death in Hell, and all things work together for good to those who love God and are called according to his purpose (Romans 8 28.)
v9: A re-iteration of verse 5. As we constantly see in the Book of Proverbs, important truths are worth repetition.
v11: We need God's wisdom to be able to see all sides of a situation and not fly off the handle at the least little things.
v13: A son who is an idiot brings nothing but chaos and problems to his father and a nagging wife is like Chinese water torture.
v17: See what Jesus had to say about the sheep and the goats.
v18: People today have an attitude that they shouldn't discipline their children in any way because they're only young once, but a child who doesn't learn what they need to learn while still a kid is less likely to learn how to get along in life as a less malleable adult. Additionally, when this man or woman-child starts getting into trouble because they've never been taught any better, those parents who didn't do their job are going to come to grief constantly rescuing their wayward youth or grown child from numerous scrapes.
v19: People who are quick to anger just keep having it bite them in the butt over and over again.
v20: If you listen to and practice wisdom, then you will be able to pass that wisdom on to the younger generation when you are old, both verbally and by example.
v29: All those who are presently mocking God and refusing to follow His wisdom are going to find themselves being punished on judgment day.
