Summary "The Bible, King James version, Book 20: Proverbs" by Anonymous is a religious and philosophical text likely written in the 10th century BC. This book serves as a collection of wise sayings, advice, and moral instructions primarily attributed to King Solomon, focusing on themes of wisdom, righteousness, and the consequences of folly. Its primary audience appears to be young men and the simple-minded, as it aims to impart discernment and prudence in life choices. The opening of Proverbs introduces the significance of wisdom and instruction, inviting the reader to seek understanding and moral judgement. It emphasizes the importance of heeding parental guidance and avoiding the snares of evil companions. The text warns against being lured into wrongful behaviors, highlighting that the fear of the Lord is essential for true knowledge. Rich metaphorical language is utilized to portray wisdom as a protective and enriching force in life, while the consequences of folly are depicted through various proverbs that delineate right and wrong, ultimately encouraging the pursuit of a wise and righteous path.
