Proverbs 1

Proverbs 1

This chapter introduces the core purpose of the book: to teach wisdom, discipline, and understanding for living a life that honors God. It urges young people to acquire knowledge, especially the fear of the Lord, which is the beginning of wisdom. The chapter warns against associating with sinners and falling for the temptation of quick, dishonest gain. Wisdom is personified as a woman who cries out publicly, warning those who scorn her counsel that when disaster strikes, she will mock them for ignoring her instruction.
