The essence of the wisdom which Solomon received from Jesus Christ is contained in the book of Proverbs. While sorting E. J. Waggoner’s articles on gospel-related themes, I realized that there were enough articles based on verses from Proverbs to make a small book, which is here presented. 136p
Waggoner writes:
One of the best books for any man to study, is the book of Proverbs. It was writen by the wisest man that ever lived, and its purpose is…
Proverbs 1
4 To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.The word “simple,” is the same as in:
Proverbs 14
15 The simple believes every word; but the prudent man looks well to his going.Its root idea is that of open-mouthed credulity. This book, if heeded, will make such a silly person cautious and prudent, shrewd, and one who cannot be deceived. No mater how credulous and easily deceived and led astray one may be, the book of Proverbs will make him wise.
Then read the book; study it; become permeated with its teachings, and you will know how to deal wisely in every condition of life.
