Day 206 (Tuesday) - Psalms 148:7-150:6; Proverbs 1:1-2:9

As we close the book of Psalms we open the book of wisdom, Proverbs. A proverb is a simple and concrete saying that is popularly known by the culture and often repeated. Proverbs expresses a truth, based on common sense or the practical experience of humanity. An example of a commonly known proverb is “Pride comes before the fall”, of course, that proverb comes from the great book of Proverbs 16:18. These proverbs were written by King Solomon, but not all of them. Some were written by Agur, Lemuel and many anonymous sages.
