Proverbs
Proverbs is a book of practical, godly wisdom intended to teach people how to live successful, moral, and God-honoring lives. Written largely by King Solomon, the book presents short, memorable sayings, or proverbs, that contrast the path of the wise person with the path of the fool. It emphasizes that true wisdom begins with the "fear of the Lord"—reverence for and obedience to God. The topics covered are incredibly broad and practical, addressing areas such as work ethic, controlling one's speech, financial responsibility, marriage and family life, and avoiding bad company. Proverbs acts as a manual for daily moral and social conduct, guiding readers toward virtue and flourishing.
