Proverbs 4:1–27 NASB 2020

Listen, my sons, to the instruction of a father, And pay attention so that you may gain understanding, For I give you good teaching; Do not abandon my instruction. When I was a son to my father, Tender and the only son in the sight of my mother, He taught me and said to me, “Let your heart take hold of my words; Keep my commandments and live; Acquire wisdom! Acquire understanding! Do not forget nor turn away from the words of my mouth. “Do not abandon her, and she will guard you; Love her, and she will watch over you. “The beginning of wisdom is: Acquire wisdom; And with all your possessions, acquire understanding. “Prize her, and she will exalt you; She will honor you if you embrace her. “She will place on your head a garland of grace; She will present you with a crown of beauty.” Listen, my son, and accept my sayings, And the years of your life will be many. I have instructed you in the way of wisdom; I have led you in upright paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hampered; And if you run, you will not stumble. Take hold of instruction; do not let go. Guard her, for she is your life. Do not enter the path of the wicked And do not proceed in the way of evil people. Avoid it, do not pass by it; Turn away from it and pass on. For they cannot sleep unless they do evil; And they are robbed of sleep unless they make someone stumble. For they eat the bread of wickedness, And drink the wine of violence. But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn That shines brighter and brighter until the full day. The way of the wicked is like darkness; They do not know over what they stumble. My son, pay attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. They are not to escape from your sight; Keep them in the midst of your heart. For they are life to those who find them, And healing to all their body. Watch over your heart with all diligence, For from it flow the springs of life. Rid yourself of a deceitful mouth And keep devious speech far from you. Let your eyes look directly ahead And let your gaze be fixed straight in front of you. Watch the path of your feet, And all your ways will be established. Do not turn to the right or to the left; Turn your foot from evil.

#Sermon #Amen #Love #Christian #VictoryinJesus

Do Walk in the Ways of YHWH that you gain the heart Wisdom, Understanding, Knowledge in all manner of workmanship?

Revelation From God

Author

The Author of Proverbs for the most part is King Solomon, however Agur (Prov 30:1), and Lemuel (Prov 31:1) who are unknown outside the book of Proverbs, 1 wrote two of the proverbs.

1 John D. Barry et al., Faithlife Study Bible (Bellingham, WA: Lexham Press, 2012, 2016).

Date

The true date of all the Proverbs are unknown but we do know that they where written during the reign of Solomon, 971-931 BCE., but after his prayer for wisdom, 1 Kings 3:1-28.  

History

Historically the Proverbs would parallel Solomon’s reign, except for Prov 30 and Prov 31, in which we know nothing about their historical back ground or context.

Structure

Although the sayings in Proverbs may seem like a random assortment, the collection is actually a curated, unified literary work. The text includes seven distinct groups of proverbs, some of which are attributed to different authors and exhibit two styles of writing. Notably, the first collection’s long discourses on wisdom (Prov 1:1–9:18) contrast with the other six collections’ much shorter sayings (Prov 10:1–31:31). Multiple topics are scattered across these collections. Advice regarding subjects such as laziness (Prov 6:6–11; 10:4; 24:30–34; 26:13), sexual immorality (Prov 5:1–23; 23:26–28; 29:3), humility (Prov 11:2; 25:6–7; 29:23), and friendship (Prov 13:20; 22:24–25; 27:17) can be found throughout the book.

Outline

• Instructions from teacher to student (Prov 1:1–9:18)

• The proverbs of Solomon (Prov 10:1–22:16)

• The words of the wise (Prov 22:17–24:22)

• Further words of the wise (Prov 24:23–34)

• The proverbs of Solomon collected by Hezekiah’s men (Prov 25:1–29:27)

• The words of Agur (Prov 30:1–33)

• The words of Lemuel (Prov 31:1–31)1

1 John D. Barry et al., Faithlife Study Bible (Bellingham, WA: Lexham Press, 2012, 2016).

The 7 seven distinct groups of proverbs represent the perfect completion of creation, Gen 2:2-3, Rev 22:1-21, Christ Jesus in you,1 Cor 12:1-31, Eph 2:1-22!!!!

A proverb in Hebrew is 

ma^sha^l

maw-shawl'

Apparently from H4910 in some original sense of superiority in mental action; properly a pithy maxim, usually of a metaphorical nature; hence a simile (as an adage, poem, discourse): - byword, like, parable, proverb.
