The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 22: Proverbs
"The Bible" by various authors is a sacred text and compilation of religious writings that spans several centuries, including contributions from the ancient world to the late first century. The Book 22: Proverbs specifically contains a collection of sayings and teachings attributed mainly to King Solomon, pertaining to wisdom, morality, and practical living. It serves as spiritual guidance on how to live a virtuous life, emphasizing the value of wisdom and the
consequences of foolishness. The opening of Proverbs sets a foundational tone for the wisdom literature, starting with an explanation of its purpose: to instill wisdom and teach the importance of moral instruction. It presents various exhortations, directing the reader to heed the teachings of their parents and avoid the company of the wicked. Key themes introduced include the fear of the Lord as a fundamental aspect of wisdom and the dangers that come with yielding to temptation and folly. The sage advice emphasized throughout the early verses highlights the necessity of pursuing knowledge and understanding as a means to lead a fruitful and just life.
