Explanation:

Question 18 (about God's character in Proverbs and a wise person's heart)

In Proverbs, a wise person guarding against hateful/angry thoughts aligns with God's character of desiring justice (as justice involves righting wrongs, including against the poor/oppressed, and opposing hatred). The other options: kindness to poor is more about action, pure motives or true words are less direct to the "guarding against hate" context. So the best fit is "his desire for justice".

Ezekiel's valley of dry bones is a vision of spiritual renewal for Israel. In the New Testament, this image represents spiritual death (and its overcoming, but the dry bones symbolize spiritual death/despair being addressed). Covenant faithfulness is more about God's loyalty, foreign conquests are unrelated, false prophets are not the focus here. So the image represents spiritual death.

Answer:

The option (presumably the second one, assuming options are ordered as: his desire for kindness to the poor, his desire for justice, his desire for pure motives, his desire for true words) - the one labeled with "his desire for justice" (exact option text depends on original, but the correct concept is justice).
