The purpose of the book of Proverbs is to recognize wise instruction and apply knowledge wisely.
Most importantly, this all begins with a reverent respect—”fear”—of the Lord and the rejection of foolish ways.
Proverbs 1:8–19
is a warning against foolishness and the allure of sinful behavior.
It is an example of the biblical wisdom literature, and raises questions of values, moral behaviour, the meaning of human life, and right conduct, and its theological foundation is that “the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom”
Through the study of Proverbs, we receive the moral discipline needed to live one’s life successfully.
Proverbs is full of instructions about moral discipline. Moral discipline can only come through God’s Word.
