Popular Books of the Bible Series

The Book of Proverbs is referred to as wisdom literature along with several others: the Book of Job, Ecclesiastes, the Song of Solomon, and certain Psalms, known as wisdom psalms. Among the deuterocanonical books, Ecclesiasticus and the Wisdom of Solomon are wisdom literature.

Throughout Proverbs, wisdom (or the wise person) is compared and contrasted with foolishness (or the fool). 'Fool' in Proverbs indicates one who is lacking in morality and uninterested in correction, not one who is merely silly or playful. Wisdom is held up as something worth effort to attain and the reader is told that it starts with the person of Yahweh: "The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom."

Familiar weather proverbs aren't just old wives' tales

16.07.11

Most of us along the coast heard the proverb about the clouds - red sky at morning, sailor take warning, red sky at night, the joy of the sailors.

Although the origin is doubtful, old sayings like this have been the first method available to predict the weather. Long before meteorologists, who knew the end of the pointer to use or where to stand around the map, decades before the advent of Doppler radar, forecasts have been passed down from generation to generation, which has made life a little easier for those attending from outside.

#537 Lessons from Ants (Proverbs 6:6-8) – The Wise « At the ...

by At the Father's Feet

Good Day Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Sluggards are given the example of ants so they may become “wise.” To be “wise” refers to “wisdom,” the main theme of Proverbs, meaning experience and shrewdness. It is used of the skill and shrewdness of workers in their areas of expertise, being knowledgeable, experienced and efficient, therefore “wise.” Spiritually speaking, “wisdom” is possessed by one who is both knowledgeable and experienced in following God’s way, the art of successful living.
