The Book of Proverbs

Illustration by Gustave Doré of King Solomon

The Book of Proverbs is God’s gift of wisdom for daily living. Compiled mainly by Solomon, the wisest king of Israel, these short, memorable sayings offer practical guidance for every area of life—work, relationships, speech, integrity, finances, and decision-making. Proverbs calls us to pursue wisdom above all else, teaching that “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge” (Proverbs 1:7).

More than just clever advice, Proverbs points us to a way of life shaped by God’s character and truth. The book shows that real wisdom isn’t just about knowing what’s right, but living it out with humility, self-control, and faithfulness. In a world full of competing voices, Proverbs encourages us to build our lives on God’s timeless truth, promising blessing and security for those who walk in His ways.
