Secular vs. Solomon game

The full game: the host reads proverbs and the panel (hosts plus On This Rock, with Kevin called out for peeking at the screen) votes Solomon or secular. Verdicts: 'like a bad tooth or a lame foot is reliance on the unfaithful' is Solomon (Prov 25:19); 'each generation will reap what the former generation has sown' is secular (Chinese proverb); 'it is a trap to dedicate something rashly' is Solomon (Prov 20:25); 'a filthy mouth will not utter decent language' is secular (Chinese proverb); 'a fool judges people by the presents they give him' is secular; 'a rat who gnaws at a cat's tail invites destruction' is secular (Chinese proverb); 'wealth brings many friends, but a poor man's friend deserts him' is Solomon (Prov 19:4); 'an honest answer is like a kiss on the lips' is Solomon (Prov 24:26); 'a whip for the horse, a halter for the donkey, and a rod for the backs of fools' is Solomon (Prov 26:3); 'as you make your bed so you will sleep' is secular (Russian proverb); 'do not forsake wisdom and she will protect you' is Solomon (Prov 4); 'God gives to those who get up early' is secular (Russian proverb, with a Stalin-era propaganda riff). Surrounding banter touches a Salvation Army founder video and 'whatsoever a man sows.'
