Some Other Proverbs

The Collective Wisdom of that Wacky Agur

The Book of Proverbs is one of the Wisdom books of the Bible. The book attempts to get its message across in the form of many short sayings, mottoes, and anecdotes, all while keeping the message of wisdom's eternal power.

Chapters 25-29 of Proverbs consists of phrases from King Hezekiah's followers. These chapters have two main themes: the good vs the "Wicked", and the rich vs the poor. The rich vs poor verses focus on the idea that the rich in material are often poor in spirit, and vice versa.

Good

Wicked

Chapter 30 of Proverbs contains the the sayings of Agur, the only true philosopher in a book full of philosophical sayings. Agur spends the first quarter of his chapter praising God, then spends the rest of it scolding humans for being self-centered and greedy.

Know the difference.

"#420 Praise it."

-Agur

"Like a muddied spring or a polluted well / are the righteous who give way to the wicked."

- Proverbs 25:26

Wisdom comes in all forms... even teeth.

“If you play the fool and exalt yourself, or if you plan evil, clap your hand over your mouth!"

-Proverbs 30: 32

Proverbs of Solomon

The first 9 chapters of Proverbs serve as an invitation from Solomon (son of King David) to come and take up wisdom and do the work of God. These chapters also talk about all the wonderful things accepting wisdom will do.

Solomon wanted to share the gifts wisdom gives. Solomon, you a busta.

First Solomonic Collection of Sayings

"The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, turning one from the snares of death." -Proverbs 13:14

Chapters 10-22 of Provebs are a collection of sayings from Solomon. The first half praises the wise and scolds the fools, while the second half talks about how awful those without wisdom are.

Morgan Freeman is pleased by this quote. Why aren't you?
