Translations:DEV 16FN Old Testament Survey/47/en

Generally, advice in the books of Wisdom is not commanded yet it gives principles for practical living. Usually, the Wisdom books are heart-felt expressions to God from people just as they are. Finally, there is a way out of life’s problems through an attitude of the heart that fears God and obeys His commands. Proverbs and advice presented in the Wisdom books are things to remember, so they were written in the form of short phrases. Although there’s no guarantee of prosperity in each of life’s conditions, instruction from the Wisdom books teaches life principles in accordance with the will of God.
