The proverbs are given for our instruction, learning and wisdom for life, and we must allow them to burn themselves into our thinking so that they find their outworking in practice. Wisdom does not merely acknowledge the truth of the statement, it probes deeper to understand why it is so, what the background factors are, and what is to be the best response to it. This should be the reader’s objective in pondering the Book of Proverbs.
