Truth for Today Commentary: Proverbs 16-31

While different belief systems may have their own proverbs, the Book of Proverbs in the Wisdom Literature of the Bible stands apart, due to its creation by the Holy Spirit to give Israel practical guidance regarding daily living. These wise sayings make a pleas for righteous living. They point the reader to the benefits of a pure life, to the true happiness that comes to the obedient, to the faithful knowledge that makes living in this practical, godly, and wise experience. The book shows that wisdom can lead to life, while foolishness leads to failure. 
This book's practical wisdom reminds readers of themselves or of individuals they know because of the clear pictures these writers provide for wise living and evil lifestyles. As Wisdom Literature, these thirty-one chapters use different kinds of proverbs- like personification, synonymous and antithetical parallelisms, and extended comparisons- to put the reader on the path of understanding godliness. The Book of Proverbs is as up-to-date today as it was when it was first compiled. Readers of this work can feel inspired to pursue practical, spiritual growth.
