Resumo de Proverbs, Part 2

RECOGNITION OF THE ABSOLUTEProverbs 1:18, 4:14-17, 8:4-9, 8:36, 10:16 In proclaiming the good, he denounces the bad as well, The effect is to erase any suspicion of neutrality in fate and enunciate the extremity between truth's offspring and its enemy's offspring. So it is made clear that the fates of liars(any who know anything but the truth of God) are not left to question. In 4:14-17, the verses further describe the paths that do not belong to truth, bringing to light that the actions and thoughts of the wicked can not lie within a fog between truth and its innumerable enemies, and assume the role as vague antagonist, but that because of their false foundations their ends are predestined, marked somewhere deep in the homeland of lies, and every one of them, willingly or ortherwise, become an archenemy. Every man choosing to reject wisdom and truth holds complete accountability for his actions. In the event a claim of unawareness were to be made on the Day of Judgement, Proverbs 8 would ring throughout the airs of heaven, and soundly resonate the trumpet of condemnation. The personification of wisdom in this chapter does not convey an individual understanding, but the actual livelihood of wisdom "herself". On an intrapersonal level wisdom cries out to the soul in search for understanding, and even amongst the tides of sin ceaselessly washing over the world, wisdom is infused in its elements and cannot fade because it is the truth; it may only become hidden from the eyes of the ignorant. So both internally and externally wisdom cries out to mankind an invitation to the paths of righteousness; every person makes an either-or choice and is held completely accountable.VINDICATION OF THE RIGHTEOUSProverbs 2:9-15, 2:20-21, 11:28, 25:21-22 The fruit of wisdom is an adherence to what is right because of an ability to truly discern its necessity, and the strength in knowledge to persevere despite the onslaught of circumstantial temptations that entomb every day. For in the land of the truth lay all the things of God, and the inheritance of these things is dependent on the walk in the paths of the righteous. So we are to act in sight of the promise of reward, and in sight of the promise of consequences should we falter.PEACE IN THE STATE OF DISCONTENTProverbs 12:15-16, 13:10, 15:31, 17:10, 19:20, 19:25, 21:11 Solomon very persistently instates proverbs revealing the nature of widsom by the actions it yields. Wisdom is not a state-of-being outlined by a certain definite measure of knowledge, but a recognition of the truth and true reality, and the reforms it mandates by the compelling strength of what is true. Therefore, in the pursuit of wisdom it is no where claimed that one will achieve perfection or divinity, but that in the realization of the absolute necessity to find the truth one's sins are atoned for, by the continuous striving and changing for the good of the truth. This must be wholly subject to an embrace of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, and an acceptance of Him as the Son of God. For were man able to attain righteousness by the capacity of their striving alone, His sacrifice would not have been made. The exploration of wisdom and human nature in Proverbs affirms that it is blindingly undeniable we need Him above all else.All the characteristics of wisdom and truth displayed in all their beauty and grandeur are for the sake of praising the One from whom they came. It is this binding objective that give the words of Solomon substantial transcendental value. The real light of his words shines from the realm of eternity, a place men by themselves very rarely and barely set foot upon. It is from there real wisdom may begin to be found.
