The Old Testament’s collection of wisdom sayings, attributed to Solomon son of David, king of Israel, in the King James translation of 1611. Its thirty-one chapters set the fear of the Lord at the beginning of knowledge and turn to fathers’ counsel, the wise and the foolish, the diligent and the sluggard, the tongue, and the virtuous woman.
Short, memorable and endlessly quoted, Proverbs reads well on its own and in the cadences of the King James Bible. Download the free EPUB.
