PROVERBS 6
6 Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise!
7 It has no commander, no overseer or ruler,
8 yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. .
9 How long will you lie there, you sluggard? When will you get up from your sleep?
10 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest—
11 and poverty will come on you like a thief and scarcity like an armed man. .
PROVERBS 6
16 There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him:
17 haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,
hands that shed innocent blood,
18 a heart that devises wicked schemes,
feet that are quick to rush into evil,
19 a false witness who pours out lies
and a person who stirs up conflict in the community. .
PROVERBS 6
21 With persuasive words she led him astray;
she seduced him with her smooth talk.
22 All at once he followed her
like an ox going to the slaughter,
like a deer stepping into a noose
23 till an arrow pierces his liver,
like a bird darting into a snare,
little knowing it will cost him his life. .
PROVERBS 14
12 There is a way that appears to be right,
but in the end it leads to death. .
PROVERBS 14

PROVERBS 22
6 Start children off on the way they should go,
and even when they are old they will not turn from it. .
PROVERBS 23
12 Apply your heart to instruction
and your ears to words of knowledge. .
PROVERBS 23
19 Listen, my son, and be wise,
and set your heart on the right path:
20 Do not join those who drink too much wine
or gorge themselves on meat,
21 for drunkards and gluttons become poor,
and drowsiness clothes them in rags. .

NOTES ON MY SELECTION CRITERIA The Bible and its Author are my focus, not the art: this is The Bible in Paintings, not "Great Paintings" nor even "Good Paintings." So, works need not be masterpieces to qualify for inclusion here—they don't need to be housed at the Louvre nor auctioned by Sotheby's. They only need to illustrate successfully some aspect of the Biblical text or, frankly, just tickle my fancy, which I'm always asking the Holy Spirit to guide.
A r t
Q u a l i t yOften, artists misrepresent the Scripture, but unless the error is material, licentious or heretical I usually include the artwork, trusting that the Spirit is perfectly capable of defending Himself. So, with such forgiving filters, it means that you're seeing practically everything I'm finding.
The Protestant Canon does not (for several reasons) follow a strictly chronological sequence. There are many examples where, for God's good purposes, stories are told out-of-order. Nevertheless, for the sake of simplicity, clarity, and my sanity, I have chosen to proceed linearly and methodically from Genesis onward, illustrating each Bible passage as we come to it. Where two passages cover the same incident I omit the second telling, excepting the four Gospels which I will treat synoptically. Now, onward!
T e x t
S e q u e n c i n gThe pace here may seem appallingly snail-like to those eager to see their favorite events illustrated. My commission is to search for art on each Bible passage in sequence: if I find enough, then it becomes the next installment, even if undramatic (but where there is little or no art, that Bible passage goes untold here).
P a c i n g Then, there is the human element: this is not actually a daily series, because I can only research, compose, edit and post five or six of these installments weekly. And because I only get to do this series once, I'm taking my time, chiefly by posting everything; if I find lots of art, I don't cherry-pick some and discard the rest. Rather, I line up all of them and then sort them into manageable bunches, often resulting in multiple days' episodes of the same story. Obviously, I like being thorough. Were you in a big hurry?
The Bible is a thick book, as you know; but we'll get there eventually, Lord willing—this is His project, after all. And always remember:
love, joy, peace, patience kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness & self-control is a fruit of the Spirit!. .
Art is merely the Toy Department of Bible study,
so I'm just having fun here—I hope you are, too!
Thank you for your understanding.Hebrews 11:6

Excellent Choices, Dan! :-)
Glad you approve, Mary-Lou!
I made hundreds of memes for the Book of Proverbs back in 2010, which, of course, went into a Black Hole when TinyPic went Belly-Up.
Cyberspace is an anomaly. The stuff you DON’T want people to see keeps cropping up, while the stuff you LOVE disappears. Go Figure!
Back to hot-linking, I guess.
Wish I had seen those. Did you post some of them here?
I thought it would be difficult to illustrate proverbs but you succeeded!!! Thanks.
I posted them every day in the Jerusalem Thread when we studied Proverbs. But they are gone, leaving a little square box behind where the pictures were. They are gone.
There aren’t many which lend themselves to being pictured—just three threads out of thirty-one chapters. I’m scouting out Isaiah now, and it’s desperate work.
Oh. I see now, that I cannot see now.
I lost over 18,000 memes and pics.
Just a confirmation to me that this world we live in is temporary.
I love seeing fellow believers philosophically acknowledging the proper spiritual applications to events. Bless you, sister!
