BOOK OF PROVERBS - BIBLE STUDY

Cette application contient des commentaires sur tous les chapitres du Livre des Proverbes.

The Book of Proverbs is one of the Wisdom Books of Hebrew Scripture, along with Job, Psalms, Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Songs (Song of Solomon). The Greek Septuagint also includes the Books of Wisdom and Sirach. The Wisdom Literature is followed by the Prophets beginning with the Prophet Isaiah in the Greek Septuagint, Latin Vulgate, and the Christian Old Testament of the Bible.

The primary purpose of the book is to teach wisdom, not only to the young and inexperienced but also to the learned. Proverbs personifies wisdom as an idealistic woman.

The Book of Proverbs provides profound insights and exceptional wisdom on how to live a happy and peaceful life, by honoring and respecting God as all-good and all-powerful. The guiding principles of the Book are to "Trust in the Lord with all your heart" (Proverbs 3:5), and that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge (1:7, 9:10).

The Book of Proverbs - מִשְׁלֵי - was begun during the time of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel, prior to the Babylonian exile. The account of his legendary wisdom was noted in I Kings 4:29-34. Solomon's name is mentioned three times in Proverbs, at the beginning of the Book, and at the beginning of two Collections expressly attributed to Solomon (10:1 and 25:1). It is noted at the beginning of the second collection that his sayings were collected by the men of King Hezekiah, who reigned from 715 to 687 BC. Other collections are the Sayings of the Wise (beginning 22:17), the Words of Agur (30:1), and Lemuel (31:1). The entire Book of Proverbs is a composite work collected over time.
