The book of Proverbs is a collection of moral and religious teachings in the
form of sayings and proverbs. Much of it has to do with practical, everyday
concerns. It begins with the reminder that “To have knowledge, you must
first have reverence for the Lord,” and then goes on to deal with matters not
only of religious morality, but also of common sense and good manners. Its
many short sayings reveal the insights of ancient Israelite teachers about
what a wise person will do in certain situations. Some of these concern
family relations, others, business dealings. Some deal with matters of etiquette
in social relationships, and others with the need of self-control. Much
is said about such qualities as humility, patience, respect for the poor, and
loyalty to friends.
