Proverb Chapter 8

Prov 8

Proverbs of David continues, preparing Solomon for the throne

1 Why should you call out for WISDOM? Why should you give voice for INSIGHT/discernment?

2 it is a way to be a Head/chief on a household, and a track to be stationed on/appointed to an elevated-place.

3 - for your hands to be on the door, and for an entry through the gate to the city-affairs, where all mouths will shout for joy, - 

4 - all men who are children of Adam should call out with their voices for HER.

5 If the heart of the simple/seducible ones will understand things, and if the stack of foolish ones will understand things; - 

6 - also for the lips of an (opposing) commander to be speaking things on equity/uprightness, "to be LISTENING-attentively" is the key/something crucial.

7 their lips should be muttering/ruminating on the Truth, and wrong things should be an abomination to their palate:

8 if others are froward/stubborn and the utterances of their mouth are twisting/struggling with "Justification"; - - 

9 - - you will be upright and straightforward before everyone, because you have found knowledge and understand it.

10 you will choose corrections over money, - and you will be decisive/determined to receive knowledge:

11 WISDOM is as equally good as Pearls that their sufaces are for delight/pleasure. (Prov 3:15).

12 with WISDOM, you will find stack of knowledge to abide with, over negative-inventions/plans.

13 in HER, there is reverence to Jehovah, and you will hate evil. You will hate the way of pride, mouth of arrogancy, and the evil in upheavals.

14 by HER, your gallantry/heroism (geburah) will be is in your Understanding of HER Counsel/Advice and HER Resourcefulness; --

15 if Dignified chiefs will legislate on Justification, the king should reign through HER, 

16 -because every Head persons/rulers should exercise dominion, and the noble-men/volunteers should judge in the land according to HER:

17 if you love HER, you will be loved and you will get up very early to find HER;

18 - by HER, there will be huge glory, accumulated riches and wealth/fortune in righteousness.

19 though, money is good as a gain for being industrious/hardworking; if you choose HER, HER fruit is golden/precious.

20 by HER, you will walk in the path of righteousness and within the track of HER verdicts, -

21 - if you love HER, your depository/storehouse will be replenished, and there will be things to inherit.

22 From the project/operation/deeds of creation, at the early time by Jehovah, SHE is the first thing to be acquired/bought in your way. (Gen 1).

23 - SHE has been the thing poured out on the Head/Chief man, even from the early time on the earth to eternity:

24 - SHE is honorable/of weight, concerning the fountain of the waters that was whirling upon the abyss/bottomless pit;

25 -which whirled to the surface and drowned little hill and mountains;

26 by HER, outside things of the earth and the Head/chief man on the habitable part of the world, were made from the dust of the earth;  

27 by HER, things in the space-orbits were legislated/decreed around the abyss/depthless pit, and the things on the surface of the sky were established;

28 by HER, the eyes of things up above are courageous and that of the things in the abyss are stout/hardened, to be playing around there;

29 by HER, the statutes were legislated for the waters of the sea, from crossing over its edge to the establishment/settlement put on the land.

30 by HER, there is time of the day for building up/training yourself, and by the side are days of enjoyment, laughing and playing. 

31 so that, the children of Adam could be laughing and playing in the habitable part of the world - and there will be entertainment/enjoyment on earth:

32 My son, you will be happy, if you listen attentively and keep yourself in HER way.

33 If others are loose/free from HER; listen to my corrections and be wise.

34 Adam would have been happy, if he had listened attentively and was alert/watching the door-post, day by day to guard the openings.

35 find HER, because if found, you will be furnished/issued Life, which is the will/pleasure of Jehovah.

36 If others are violent and are committing sin, you will love Souls - and hate the place of death.

Proverb Chapter 9

Prov 9

Concluding Proverbs of David, towards a young wise lady versus a gullible and loud wife.... 

1 with diverse wisdom/smartness, she will build her households, on SEVEN/Full hewn/carved pillars. 

2 her value/worth is upon things slaughtered at butchery and wines that cover her table; - 

3 - and how she is being called out as a young-lady from elevated places, even to send her arm/representative to city affairs. 

Wise-lady; a senator in city-affairs

4 she will say, turn away from being destitute in your mind, oh you simple/gullible ones!

5 who walk-around under a covering of fighting for food to drink wine;

6 - forsake being gullible, live with understanding-and be honest in your way.

7 - let those who mock someone with a blemish/any defect, be corrected, rebuke/discipline a wicked-man if he can receive the (same) shame.

8 - the wise will love to be rebuked and even rebuke others for them to hate mocking:

9 the wise are wise because of what they know and can give. The Righteous will add up to his learnings (things he had learnt). 

10 for a start, wisdom is in reverence to Jehovah, and in the holy of Holies is knowledge and understanding:

11 They will multiply your days and years by adding up to your Life:

12 if others mock it, be wise, for you will be lifted up for being wise:

Foolish lady; a senator at her own door-step

13 by foolishness, a woman/wife in her gullibility, does not know why some are clamoring/in commotion;

14 she sits down at the door of her own house while others are on the throne in elevated places for city affairs.

15 she could have been the one calling out to those passing by the road, to be honest in their path, -

16 she could have told the simple/gullible ones, to turn away from being destitute in their mind;

17 - even though, stolen bread and water in hidden place could be sweet and pleasant;

18 she could have called out to them to know the deep things about the ghost/wraith in sheol (the world of the dead).

Proverb Chapter 10

Prov 10

Proverb/Parable of Solomon proper

1 A father and a mother will rejoice over their wise son but they will be in depression over a foolish son.

2 the benefit for those in righteousness is that, they shall be delivered, but those in wickedness shall be unto the depository in the place of death;

3 the soul of the Righteous will hunger for things of Jehovah, but the existence of the wicked will be blasted/thrust down.

4 the palm that do things deceitfully will become poor but industrious hand will accumulate riches.

5 A son - that act intelligently will gather/harvest in summer but a son that is insensitive/numb during harvest will be put to shame.

6 Benediction is upon the head of the Righteous, but the mouth of the wicked is covered up with things of violence:

7 Benediction is upon the rememberance of the Name of the Righteous, but that of the wicked will decay/rot:

8 the wise will receive commandment in his mind/heart, but the lips of the fool will thrust it down/disapprove it. 

9 if others are distorted in their ways, those who know and walk in integrity will walk around in safety/trusted place.

10 just a wink/blinking of eyes will give worry/emotional pain to a fool instead of things from lips that thrust him down/disapprove him.

11 the mouth of the Righteous is like a well/source of Life - but the mouth of the wicked is covered up with things of violence:

12 Hatred will stir up discord but affectionate-love will cover up revolt/crime.

13 If those at the back are destitute in their mind, we should still find wisdom in the lips of some who understand things among their clan/tribe.

14 the wise store up/hide knowledge but the foolish will be near to ruins through the things from his mouth.

15 the wealth of the Rich people through the leadership of the borough/administrative unit of their city, is from the great-strength of the poor which will be unto their ruins.

16 the yield/produce from the deed/work of the Righteous is unto LIFE, while habitual sin is from the wicked.

17 those who preserve instructions are in the path of LIFE, but those who stray/vaccilate, have forsaken rebuke.

18 the falsehood from the lips of a fool could be covered up, if the hatred had gone out under infamy/furtive moves.

19 in abundance of spoken-words is a revolt, but those that act intelligently will cease from it by restraining things from their lips.

20 the wicked will choose money over the little things from the tongue and the heart of the Righteous:

21 the lips of the Righteous cares abundantly, but the foolish will die, for being lacking/destitute in his mind/intellect:

22 By benediction/prosperity (berakah) of Jehovah, you will accumulate riches - but anything to augment it, will be unto sadness/nervousness:

23 it is a thing of laughter for a fool to carry out evil plans - but a man of discernment/insight (do things) by wisdom:

24 the Righteous will come with a longing/desire to give things while that of the wicked is only for emotional excitement/stimulation.

25 the wicked will pass away like whirlwind while the groundwork/bottom-line for the Righteous is to be for eternity:

26 as vinegar (sour wine) is, to the teeth, and as smoke is, to the eyes, so it is when you send out a slothful/indolent person for anything:

27 reverence unto Jehovah will add to your days and years but that of the wicked will be shortened:

28 expectations of the Righteous is unto joy/gladness, but the hope of the wicked will be lost.

29 if some are exerting themselves to practise things unto destruction; in Jehovah is a fortified place and the way of integrity;

30 the Righteous will dwell on earth unto eternity and be unshakened by the wicked.

31 the mouth of a Righteous is with wisdom, but the tongue of a beginner/novice will cut things off and also turn things upside down/cause upheaval.

32 the will/delight of the Righteous is known from things of his mouth, but the lips of the wicked will turn things upside down.
