The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, King of Israel.

A proverb is; A short sentence often repeated, expressing a well known truth or common fact, ascertained by experience or observation; a maxim of wisdom.

Many things that a minister says, are said in the form of a proverb. This is why many things, that are said, are easy to understand. For we speak not in the wisdom of man(mans big words, that many cannot understand.) but in the simplicity of the Gospel.

"To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding." This is what we all are seeking. Wisdom comes from the fear of the Lord God. For as it is written; "The fear of God is the beginning of knowledge."

We know that God is all powerful. He has the world in His hands and our soul for His possession. We are all, saint and sinner, in the grasp of His great hands. The power of life and death are His, and His alone.

Once we understand this fact, we can adjust our lives accordingly. But even with this knowledge, we are still able to make our own choice weather to believe what we know is true, or to turn what we know into a fable. Even the Father has the knowledge that this will, and is happening, even unto today. (For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.)

(But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.) This is those that once knew the truth and have been washed in the anointing, who return back to the elementary elements of the lust, and lies, of the world.

To perceive the words of understanding, is to know the meanings of the words, and their intent upon the spirit. We know for we have been taught. We have been instructed by those that are open to the voice of the Holy Spirit. For He is our teacher and school master. He has taught many the meaning of the Old Testament, and also the New. Many take this verse in the wrong manner, lets read; "But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him."

Here is wisdom: Who shall be endowed with the Holy Ghost(Spirit.)?

"And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him." He is given to them that obey God, and Believe in His Son Jesus the Christ.

"and ye need not that any man teach you:" This is the wisdom of the carnal man, not of God, and not of the truth. Many doctrines today are far from the truth. They entice many by great swelling words that deceive the un-learned. The man of God is a teacher among men, for he has been instructed by the Holy Spirit. Without the anointing and indwelling of the Holy Spirit no man can understand the Gospel.

To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, judgment, and equity;

Once we have been given the wisdom of God words, we must be able to understand and develop what we have been taught. Just as with the reception of faith, it must be grown and nurtured, we must know how to increase it, and use it, according to the will of God.

To have the wisdom of God is to be able to understand proverbs.

To receive the instruction of justice, the justice of the instruction of God. The holy Spirit gives us instruction in the ways of Gods justice, of which many things may be hard to understand, especially the justice of judgment in the Old Testament.

Justice, judgment, and equity, are all interconnected in the Old, and the New Testament. As with the words from the Constitution of the United States, which states, that, "All Men are Created Equal." The same applies with the Justice, and Judgment of God. For all men must die because of sin, but all men shall be judged separately by Christ, on the works that they have preformed upon this earth, weather they be good or evil.

The justice of judgment, in the Old Testament, leads many to think that God is an unjust God, but this is not so. For as it was, it shall also be. The people, and times that they lived in, made swift judgment necessary. This is interconnected with the words of Jesus and Paul that states, "For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God."

"And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.

And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched."

This is the judgment that we speak of, that Christ done away with, by fulfilling the Law. For it is better that one be lost than for all to be sent to everlasting torment. This is righteous judgment.

To give subtilty(the simplicity of scriptural doctrines or truth.) to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion. A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels: To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.

Wisdom, according to the scriptures, is not the wisdom of man, for man seeks wisdom with what is so called science.

Science cannot prove anything, for there are many things that only can be understood by faith, which science rejects. Science is full of speculation and theory. For if they can convince man that they are right, then they can, and will, deceive many. "To understand a proverb, and the interpretation." The key words that we see here are 1. Understand and 2. Interpretation. Science seeks only to disprove the truth of what is written in the Bible.

The interpretation of the Bible passages are not given to any single mans, or religions interpretation , but is open up to all for interpretation. When a mans interpretation is incorrect, we who are spiritual, reason with him, and will teach him a better understanding.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck. Ars.
