Really great. This one has always been a favorite of mine as well... although I'm not sure it is this exact verse... many variations of it are throughout Proverbs.

Yes, that's true, Jesse, and many variations, depending on the version of the Bible that you use ... all carry similar weight and import, and wisdom! Blessings and thanks, my friend! :-)
