Full Text Online | Listen Online
When I read the book of Proverbs, I am overwhelmed with the depth of knowledge that is relayed through Solomon. The verses are an entirely different literature style from the beginning books of the Bible in the E100 reading. These are the phrases that are most easily “written on your doorframes and gates” (Deut. 11:20).
This section of the proverbs is meant to have practical daily application for every person. There are specific wisdom nuggets relating to relationships, speech, work, and success. The reader of these proverbs is directed to God as the source of wisdom and the simple phrases describe God’s character.
