Proverbs
Old Testament · 8 sections · scripture: Berean Standard Bible
If the Psalms are Israel talking to God, Proverbs is Israel talking to its children. This is the Bible's classroom: thirty-one chapters of counsel gathered under Solomon's name — parental lectures, courtly maxims, farmer's observations, two appendices from otherwise unknown sages, and a closing alphabet-poem about a woman worth more than rubies.
