How it works

These Proverbs Bible trivia questions quote the KJV, the King James Version. Many give the start of a proverb and ask how it ends; others ask what a saying is about. Each has four choices and its chapter and verse.

Four rounds of Proverbs trivia questions

Finish the proverb gives the first half of a saying. Wisdom, the wise and the fool and Words, work and friends ask what a saying is about: the fool, the tongue, the sluggard, a friend. Solomon, Agur and the virtuous woman covers the words of Agur in chapter 30 and the virtuous woman of chapter 31. Start from, under the question, opens one round.

Why the wording is the KJV's

A finish-the-proverb question works in one translation only, because others end the same verse with other words. Where the King James has safety in the multitude of counsellors, the World English Bible has victory.

  • Old words get today's word in the reason: a coney is a hyrax, and meat means food.
