Secular vs. Solomon game show

The hosts play 'Secular vs. Solomon' with Righteous Vendetta: a host reads a proverb and players must say whether it is a secular (world) proverb with its country of origin, or from Solomon/biblical wisdom. Rounds include 'A drowning man is not troubled by rain' (Persia/Iran), 'A worthless person, a wicked man, goes about with crooked speech' (Solomon), 'Like vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes, so was the sluggard to those who send him' (Solomon, Proverbs 10:26), 'Put silk on a goat, and it's still a goat' (Ireland), 'Whoever corrects a scoffer gets himself abuse' (Solomon, Proverbs 9:7), 'Give neither counsel nor salt till you are asked for it' (Italy), 'Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in abundance of counselors, there is safety' (Solomon, Proverbs 11), and 'If God lived on earth, people would break his windows' (secular Jewish proverb). Running jokes include Hudson's NIV/ESV translation excuses, sluggard being a giveaway word for Solomon, and Hudson's invented country origins (Papua New Guinea, Ecuador, Gaza).
