Proverbs 10:1
Summary for Prov 10:1: 10:1–22:16 a This long section is called The proverbs of Solomon. It consists mostly of brief bits of advice and observation. These sayings make heavy use of antithetical parallelism to contrast wisdom and righteousness with folly and wickedness. The arrangement of these proverbs appears to be essentially random, as in Egyptian and Mesopotamian wisdom literature. Some proverbs are repeated (see 6:10-11 b and 24:33-34 c; 14:12 d and 16:25 e; 18:8 f and 26:22 g; 19:24 h and 26:15 i; 20:16 j and 27:13 k; 21:9 l and 25:24 m; 22:3 n and 27:12 o). Sometimes a group of proverbs shares a similar theme (e.g., 16:1-11 p). 10:1 q The joy or grief of godly parents reflects the degree of their child’s obedience to principles of wisdom.
