Proverbs 3
 God the Father (after 1664) Pierre Mignard (1612-1695) Baroque Style National Gallery of Art, Washington, D. C., USA Image Source: Web Gallery of Art [ Illustration: The painting above is of the LORD. Wisdom enhances our relationship to him, as noted in today's chapter. ] SPECIAL NOTE: [ I will again be working through the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. I will be adding links, resources, images, and the like, upgrading the former work-through which began with the 2013-10-12 posting which can be found, along with the full Genesis to Revelation postings, in the Archive Page. Postings will be at midnight Eastern Time, as I am able. However, no chapters will be skipped, even though a posting may be late. And all postings will be housed in the Archive Page. ] Explanation: In Proverbs 3, Solomon tells his son how to have a good relationship with the LORD, not with wisdom abstractly. Solomon exhorts his son to remember his law and to let his heart keep his commandments because they will give him long life and peace (1-2). He tells him to make mercy and truth a part of his character because they will give him favor with God and man (3-4). He should trust in the LORD with all of his heart; he should not lean unto his own understanding; he should acknowledge the LORD in all of his ways; and God will direct his paths (5-6). He should not be wise in his own eyes. Instead, he should fear the LORD and depart from evil because it will be health to his navel and marrow to his bones (7-8). He should honor the LORD with his substance, with the firstfruits of his increase; and so his barns will be filled with plenty and his presses will burst out with new wine (9-10). Likewise, he should not despise the chastening or the LORD; and he should not be weary of his correction, because the lord loves those whom he corrects and delights in them (11-12). The man who finds wisdom and understanding is happy because its benefits are better than silver and gold (13-14). It is more precious than rubies; and all that one can desire cannot be compared to it. It gives length of days and riches, and honor (15-16). Its ways are pleasant and peaceful; and it is a tree of life to those who lay hold on it. Those who retain it are happy (17-18). By wisdom the LORD founded the earth; by understanding he established the heavens; by his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew (19-20). He should not let these things depart from his eyes; he should keep sound wisdom and discretion; they will be life to his soul and grace to his neck (21-22). He will walk safely; he will not stumble. When he lies down he will not be afraid; and his sleep will be sweet (23-24). He should not be afraid of sudden fear, nor of the desolation of the wicked when it comes because the LORD will be his confidence and will keep his foot from being taken (25-26). He should treat his neighbors well. He should not withhold good from those to whom it is due when he is able to do it. He should not tell his neighbor to go and come again later when he is able to help him now (27-28). Conversely, he should not devise evil against his neighbor who dwells securely by him. He should not strive with a man without cause if he has done him no harm (29-30). Furthermore, he should not envy the oppressor, nor should he choose any of his ways because a perverse man is an abomination to the LORD; but his secret is with the righteous (31-32). And the curse of the LORD in the house of the wicked; but he blesses the house of the just. The LORD scorns scorners; but he gives grace to the lowly. The wise shall inherit glory; but shame shall be the promotion of fools (33-35). [ Sermons: Joel R Beeke. Various. ] Bible Chronologies -- Genesis to Revelation [Traditional Patriarchal Chronology.

I have attempted to list conservative, scholarly resources. However, some providers use liberal or liberal-influenced commentaries such as the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges (in Bible Hub). Such commentaries are undoubtedly included by the provider for the wealth of useful information and comments which they provide. By consulting several commentaries, it should be fairly easy to sort out the wheat from the chaff. If, however, you would like personal assistance, write to me at AD LIB ARTS EMAIL.
