    Reckless words pierce like a _____, but the tongue of the wise brings healing(Proverbs 12)

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "sword" or "Sword". This is because the phrase "reckless words pierce like a sword" is a metaphorical expression used to convey the idea that harsh or thoughtless words can cause emotional pain and damage to others. On the other hand, the phrase "the tongue of the wise brings healing" suggests that wise and kind words have the power to bring comfort and resolution to conflicts.

    A wise son brings joy to his _____, but a foolish man despises his mother.Proverbs 15.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is father because the proverb is highlighting the impact of a wise son on his father. It suggests that a wise son brings joy and happiness to his father, indicating a positive and fulfilling relationship. On the other hand, a foolish man despises his mother, implying a lack of respect and disregard for his mother. The proverb emphasizes the importance of wisdom and respect in familial relationships.

    Better a meal of vegetables where there is ____, than a fattened calf with hatred.Psalms 15.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "love" or "Love". This is because the verse from Psalms 15 suggests that it is better to have a simple meal of vegetables in a loving and harmonious environment, rather than having a lavish feast with a fattened calf but surrounded by hatred. It emphasizes the importance of love and kindness over material possessions and negative emotions.

  • 5. 

    ___ and Destruction are never satisfied, and neither are the eyes of man.Proverbs 27.

    Explanation
    The passage from Proverbs 27 suggests that both "death" and "Death" are insatiable, meaning they cannot be satisfied. This implies that death is an inevitable and constant part of life, and it is something that humans can never fully comprehend or be satisfied with. The use of both lowercase "death" and uppercase "Death" may indicate that the concept of death applies to all living beings, while the capitalized "Death" could refer to a more abstract or personified form of death.
