Discuss Proverbs 1 Page 3

:8 what I have found to be of great interest is the phrase "law of thy mother" this is understood in the sayings of the Apostle Paul, who taught us in Galatians 4:21-31 that Hagar is the old covenant, meaning the Ten Commandments written in stone and Sarah is the new covenant, meaning the Ten Commandments written in the heart. Here the Law of God is referred unto as Sarah for Christians, then the apostle states Jerusalem which is above is our mother as Christians, from these two statements we can interpret what King Solomon had hidden in his dark saying. Since our mother is New Jerusalem in the third heaven, the law from our mother is the Ten Commandments written in the heart, after we have figured this out, now we can try to digest the proverb, do not forsake the law of thy mother.

The LORD revealed to me after your question. There is significance of the writer of Proverbs, his life & witness of. Proverbs 13:24, Proverbs 22:15, Solomon appears to have written Proverbs chapters 10 through 29. Solomon the son of David Proverbs 1:1, if any man truly understand the grief associated with undisciplined children would be a surviving son of David. Please read the tragic stories of David's children. 2Samuel 13, 2Samuel 15,- 2Samuel 18, 2Samuel 19, 1Kings 1:5-, * 1Kings 1:6 - 1Kings 2,

After 2Samuel 12:10-12,

Eli's sons, 1Samuel 2:12-17, 1Samuel 2:22-25, 1Samuel 2:27-36, * 1Samuel 2:29, * 1Samuel 3:13, 1Samuel 4:10-22, Samuel's sons were also tragic stories because of lack of discipline. 1Samuel 8, Historically near Solomon's reign.

The rod of Moses & Aaron, brought deliverance to GOD's children Israel & all who obeyed & took shelter with GOD & His children, & judgement to Egypt & those who chose not to.

Also 2Samuel 7:14,

Hi Steise.

My understanding concerning wisdom as a Feminine noun is meant for one to hold wisdom as something very special and to be sought after.

Proverbs 1:3-7.

Proverbs 4:5-13.

God bless.

I love this and i bless the lord

Hallo Gigi and all the rest. The most of ppl understand that english is not my birth given speeking. Because there will probably be many grammatical errors. ps. Be nice and stay be patient with me.

When i come over the word of knowledge, i look at it and think beyond :). It's a word who is the opposite of wisdom. Its like more deaper understanding of things in the Spirit and what God want us too understand. Mayby like a preaching. But not like in parable.

Wisdom is something your mind have learned. Its stand a lot of wisdom in Proverbs. Example Proverbs 1:23Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. Amen

So this is that we learn from not experiencing, but too listening and do what u have heard. If we do so we are clever ppl in one way becouse of all the promises we got in Proverbs example.

Have a good night, here it is late morning. And its soo god too know that its always someone in the Spirit of God who is woken, when some are in sleep. Because of that, we know that the Word of God is being fulfilled. The Spirit never ever sleep.

Stay blessed and strong in His Holy Name Jesus Christ with words from Matthew chapter 25.

Hi Joe. In Hebrew, 'soul' is in the feminine gender. Many languages, as you may know, apply it's gender to the object & sometimes don't use the neuter gender.

It sounds strange to us since 'soul' is neuter in English. Another example is 'wisdom', as in Proverbs 1:2, where it too is feminine so you might also see it referred to as 'her/she.'

Psalm 127:1

(A Song of degrees for Solomon.) Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

Hi Sandra Ellick. It is in Psalm 127:1. God Bless you!

Hi Sandra Look at Psalms 127:1 God Bless

It is not in the first proverb or first Psalm.

This I do know.

The scripture is

"Unless the Lord builds the housevthey labor in vain who build it".

Where is this ?

Where is found the either the Psalm or proverb that says

Unless the Lord builds the housecthey labor in vain who build it.

Wisdom is personified as a woman in Proverbs 1:20-21; 2:2-4; 3:14-18; 4:7-8; 8:1-36 and 9:1-12. Each time wisdom speaks. The first time wisdom speaks is in Proverbs 1:20-21.

Wisdom shouts in the street,

She lifts her voice in the square;

At the head of the noisy streets she cries out;

At the entrance of the gates in the city she utters her sayings: Proverbs 1:20-21 (NASB)

The Hebrew word for wisdom is hakmot and this noun is a feminine plural. A literal reading would seem to be "Wisdom shouts in the street," except that the second line is in the singular - "she lifts her voice." F. C. Cook writes,

In the Hebrew the noun is a feminine plural . . . as though this Wisdom were the queen of all wisdoms, uniting in herself all their excellences.[1]

That is, since Proverbs 2:6 says that God gives wisdom, the wisdom in Proverbs is the queen of all wisdoms. There is no greater wisdom.

comment: I don't think proverbs 31 means wisdom is a heavenly female creature. My opinion. It is the way Solomon (had 900 wives;300 concubines) described wisdom. Possibly Jewish literature would address this?

I don't know.

Thank you David. May I refer you to a few OT & NT Scriptures: Exodus 33:7; Proverbs 1:20; Ezekiel 41:17. And Matthew 12:46,47; Matthew 26:69; Hebrews 13:13. These show the intended meaning of 'without' as seen & understood in Genesis 9:22.

But if you still believe that Genesis 9:22 is incomplete, I would be very interested, like Adam, to know where you learned this & the relevant references so we can research this as you have done. In anticipation I remain.

Verses 20 to the end of the chapter make me think of something Jesus would've said at the gates of Jerusalem.

Dear Alec,

Maybe you're referring to the last part of the chapter, especially the last verse Proverbs 1:33.

In my opinion this is talking about following God (Jesus) or not. It makes a distinction between someone who hears wisdom and truth and obeys and fears the Lord and someone who doesn't. I think this is what we're seeing in the world today- a lot of fake news and foolishness that people want to believe. They hate the truth. They hate God and mock Him.

As for backsliding, I personally believe we will be judged for all our actions and be punished/rewarded fairly and justly. But I believe Jesus's grace has a huge allowance for genuine followers who try but slip up. I believe all can be forgiven except blasphemy of the holy spirit.

God bless...

so does Proverbs 1 24-28 mean that some will wait to long to be able to repent and not be able to find God, including some who may have repented and backslid to long knowing right from wrong and choosing wrong? The way i read this is there will be some who get into trouble and after a life of sin try to find God to get out of trouble but don't really want to repent and so they won't find God. Is this correct?

Hi, God bless all people. Dark sayings in 1-4 is an interesting word. The inner meaning of God can only be accessed through reading the bible and thought. Peace be with you.

Type that in the Search Box where you first enter the website. It means fear, honor, reverence, etc

There's over 6000 verses. :)

what does fear of the Lord mean

Hi Norman,

I would just read what God says and ignore what man says. If you click on these or hover over them you'll see what each Bible verse says. It's clear to me what it says and means and is interesting how some others word hard to try to make it mean something else. 1 Peter 5:8

Matthew 7:14

Hebrews 10:26 "For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,"

James 2:14-26 "...faith, if it hath not works, is dead..."

James 2:19 "Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble."

1 Peter 1:13 "...hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;"

Romans 11

John 14:15 "If ye love me, keep my commandments."

Matthew 12:31-32

Romans 14:12

1 Peter 1:5 - "...salvation ready to be revealed in the last time."

People have freewill to choose good or evil:

Psalms 25:12

Joshua 24:15 "choose you this day whom ye will serve"

Psalm 119:30

Luke 16:13

Proverbs 3:31

Fear God:

Joshua 24:14

Psalms 25:12

Proverbs 1:29

Seek God:

Psalms 63:1

"I'm not a bad person". Everyone thinks they're good, including the wicked.

Romans 3:23

Mark 10:18

Jesus doesnt say the words 'the deceitfulness of riches ' lightly .

I love discussing the Bible. I see this scripture as saying that greed steals the life away of the one who is greedy. Working to amass wealth requires dedication, sacrifice, and for most compromise of morality and integrity. We lose our life because our focus is not on God. Some deemed as workaholics will spend their who life at the job. They are quick to sell away their life motivated by the greed of gain.

Romans 1:22

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

Ezekiel 34:8

As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely because my flock became a prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock;

Proverbs 16:22

Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools is folly.

Luke 24:25

Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:

Proverbs 15:14

The heart of him that hath understanding seeks knowledge: but the mouth of fools feeds on foolishness.

Proverbs 1:7

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Hebrews 3:19

So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

Matthew 13:58

And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

Hebrews 3:12

Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

Romans 11:30

For as you in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy...

Romans 1:17-28

For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made [people], even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are WITHOUT EXCUSE.

Mishael comment: Not making a choice to receive salvation through Jesus; is a choice. Read John 3 carefully.

Is it a must for a Christian to speak in tongues??
