Wisdom contrasted
Series: Studies in the Proverbs
The primary purpose of Proverbs was to facilitate the “a___________ of wisdom and discipline.”
Wisdom is a matter of h_______ and m_____ – it consists of the proper and diligent handling of our lives, while living in God’s world, all the time living in submission to His will and His Word.
Proverbs 1:7 says that the “fear of the Lord is the b____________ of knowledge…”
A. those who are not increasing in wisdom are called “S_________”…
-1. The verb that is formed from this Hebrew word, means “to d_________, or to s_________”….
–So the person who is “simple” is the kind of person who is easily led astray; gullible, silly.
This one whom we are calling simple is no mentally deficient… he is a person whose instability could be rectified But he prefers not to accept the d___________ of wisdom.
A. The second term is; “the F_____”…
–1. The fool is an advanced case of the simple…
–2. three different words are used here in proverbs that the English translates as “fool”:
But remember that the Proverbs has in mind a man’s chosen outlook rather than His m________ equipment or capabilities.
To those who love Him the fool brings sorrow!
(1) The fool knows no restraint.. 20:3 & 12:16
(2) “Fools mock at making amends for sin…” 14:9
c) The third word that is translated as fool, is used only three times in Proverbs, but it is characterized by the words of P____ 14:1… “the fool has said in his heart, there is no God!”
The sayings of Proverbs are not p________, but they show us, in p________, how life works and how we can work life.
