Wise words, benefitting from the book of Proverbs

What does the book of Proverbs aim to achieve?

  • Designed to foster wisdom.
  • Using the sayings of the wise.
  • A course of study.
    • Part 1 (1:1 – 9:18): The voice of the instructor (addressing his son).
    • Part 2 (10:1 – 22:16): Sentence proverbs (wisdom speaks).
      • A discussion not a lecture.
      • There is a structure.
        • Mostly contrast proverbs, emphasis on the righteous and the wicked (ch 10 – 15).
        • More “Yahweh” proverbs with a theoretical heart (ch 15 – 16).
        • Mostly comparison proverbs, this is like that (ch 16 – 22).
    • Part 3 (22:17 – 31:31): The voice of the instructor resumes.
