Proverbs offers what is key to life. Everything they speak about & every subject brought into consideration is concerned about one thing: IS IT WISDOM or IS IT FOLLY?

From the simplest endeavors, To the grandest of themes, Wisdom leaves its mark on everything. --and so does folly.

Wisdom among the Hebrews differs from wisdom among other oriental peoples in that it is rested firmly on the conviction of a personal, covenant-keeping and holy God. It assumes that the

universe is regulated by reason and law. It is therefore practical and not speculative as it was with the Greeks. Yet it is a fantastic rule for real relationships!

No Media (newspapers, TV, radio, telephone, or internet) Just the City Gate (Stories, eyewitness reports, fables, and…..Proverbs)

“Do not lean on the scales, nor falsify the weights, nor damage the fractions of the measure. -- Proverb of Amen-em-ope of Egypt 1

“Differing weights and differing measures, both of them are abominable to the Lord.” Proverbs 20 : 10 2

“the son”= simple “the wise” “the fool” “the Father”

Way of the Fool: Sluggard Fool Scoffer Hot-Tempered Way of the Wise: Prudent Knowing Discerning Patient Disciplined

Proverbs tell us to keep God’s law in the specifics of life 1 God is gracious to give guidance in the little mundane things of life 2

God’s wisdom: Not simply steps for success, but rules for wise living in God’s creation 3 Primarily concerned with relationships: Loving your neighbor 4

The Outcome of the Simple one’s life: A: Death—1:32 B: Folly—14:18 5

The only help for the Simple: A: 19:25; 21:11—Severe punishment of those just ahead of him. B: Psalm 19:7; 119:130 6
