Ancient proverbs

  • tons of topics, applying the fear of the Lord (marriage, speech, family, justic, forgiveness)
  • probabilities, not promises (train up a child in the way they should go, fear of the Lord prolongs life)
  • focuses on general rule, not exceptions
  • that is why also need to look at the rest of Wisdom Lit.

Personification of wise living

  • Charm is deceiful. Beauty is vain. But a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised
  • A woman of noble character (31)

Christ in Proverbs

  • Jesus is the teacher “in whom is hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge” (Col.2)

  3. Admonition (fear of the Lord, but no guarantees - enigma)
  4. Conclusion - Fear God, obey him. One day you will face him.

Christ in Ecclesiastes - Christ is seen as a contrast to all that man “under the sun” can reason, achieve, enjoy. Look beyond the sun, and see God’s Son. He is the unending source of knowlege, wisdom, joy, fulfillment, meaning. Solid, can hold on to Him.
