The book of proverbs is a collection of sayings that were used in ancient Israel to teach God's people how to live right.For the most part,these sayings go back to Solomon,but others are traced back to Agur and King Lemuel.Like the psalms,all the proverbs are written in poetic form.A typical proverb takes the form of a short verse in which the first half states the theme and the second half echoes it.What makes the bible's proverbs so popular is that they make such powerful statements with very few words.this makes them easy to memorize and apply to daily life. One of the main teachings in Proverbs is that all wisdom is a gift from God.This wisdom supplies practical advice for everyday living,in society,in politics,at school,at work and in the home.Fairness,humility,loyalty and concern for the poor and needy are taught by the book of Provervbs.I think eachone of us read this book and still knows the effect that this may have on us that's why I was urged to post a new thread so that people may give bible's Proverbs and explain How they understand them in order to help others who seem not to get the message that the book teaches.Let's say as together:IF YOU ARE ALREADY WISE,YOU WILL BECOME EVEN WISER.
