Proverbs 15-16
The main heading for these two chapters of Proverbs is “Contrast the Upright and the Wicked“. Some of the key words found in common to both chapters are the following: Lord, Heart, Way, Wise, Evil, Wicked, Better, Abomination, Life, Lips, Mouth, Plans, Spirit, and Understanding. Below are the topics I identified in the chapters.
