Proverbs: An Introduction

Proverbs is not a book of laws; however, many of its maxims represent moral principles that can no more be escaped than the law of gravity can be defied. Proverbs considers God’s government, which, though not always evident, will ultimately be made good in righteousness. Proverbs touches upon all men and their conduct, whether they accept it or not; it is, however, especially addressed to those known to God. It leaves no aspect of life untouched; it speaks of personal conduct, relationships, money, neighbors, business dealings, and governments. Spend time considering what God has to say about these vital subjects, you won’t regret it!
