Appendixes To The Companion Bible

Appendix 75

SPECIAL PASSAGES IN THE BOOK OF PROVERBS ACQUIRING NEW LIGHT.

 

   In the Companion notes to the Book of Proverbs, it will be observed that certain words are carefully discriminated: such as the words for "fool", "poor"; the singular and plural of the wicked, the righteous, &c, are noted.  But certain proverbs also are presented in a new light altogether.  Among these are the following:

1.7.  "The fear of the LORD".          

1.17.  "In vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird".  

2.7.  "He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous".

3.2,16.  "Length of days" supposed to be given by "wisdom".  See also 4.10;  9.11;  10.27.

5.2.  "That thy lips may keep knowledge".

5.14.  "Almost in all evil".

16.1.  "The preparations of the heart in man... is from the LORD".

21.1.  "The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD as the rivers of water".

21.4.  "An high look, and a proud heart... is sin".

Watchman News hosts several archives of Bible studies such as these by the Watchmen Bible Study Group. Although we are not affiliated with this or numerous others using the term Watchman in their names, we believe it important keep the full content intact for research and analysis for Bible students of future generations. We keep it available as good members of the body of Christ, for Christian unity. We do so on a non-profit basis. As the original owner's site went offline years ago, no one has paid to keep it online but us. We pray and hope such ministries are more careful about having successors to carry on their works in the future. Although we do not agree on every point of doctrine, we still believe it very important to not edit any of the original contents. Our own statements of beliefs are found at www.CelticOrthodoxy.com, and for example in the book "7th Day Sabbath in the Orthodox Church" etc.
