Pro Verbs: 1:1-6
And now for something completely different, Proverbs 1:1-6, from the NET Bible:
The Proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel:
To learn wisdom and moral instruction,
and to discern wise counsel.
To receive moral instruction in skillful living,
in righteousness, justice, and equity.
To impart shrewdness to the morally naive,
and a discerning plan to the young person.
(Let the wise also hear and gain instruction,
and let the discerning acquire guidance!)
To discern the meaning of a proverb and a parable,
the sayings of the wise and their riddles.
Here are the three generic questions:
- What happened in the text?
- What do I learn about God?
- What should I do about it?
