The Book of Proverb

 

 

The key word is Proverbs is wisdom, the ability to live skillfully. A Godly life in an

un- godly world , however, is no simple assignment . Proverbs provides God’s detailed instructions for His people to deal successfully with the practical affairs of everyday life: how to relate to God, parents, children neighbors, and government.

 

Solomon the principal author uses a combination of poetry, parables, pithy questions, short stories, and wise maxims, to give in strikingly memorable form the common sense and divine perspective necessary to handle life’s issues.

 

Because Solomon, the pinnacle of Israel’s wise men, was the principal contributor, the Hebrew title of this book is Mishle Schelomoh, Proverbs of Solomon (1:1). The Greek title is Paroimiai Salomontos, Proverbs of Solomon. The Latin title Liber Ptoverbiorum, Book of Proverbs, combines the words pro for and verba words to describe the way the proverbs concentrate many words into few. The rabbinical writings called Proverbs Sepher Hokhmah, Book of Wisdom.

 

God Bless you on this spiritual journey as we seek wisdom and understanding of how to deal with the affairs of every day Christian walk
