Proverbs (Daily Study Bible Old Testament Series)

Kenneth T. Aitken

Paperback 1986-11-01

"Where there is no vision, the people perish." In this perceptive commentary familiar sayings from the book of Proverbs, such as this one, are seen in a new light. Kenneth T. Aitken deepens our understanding of the basic collection of popular sayings and folk wisdom of ancient Israel This volume on Proverbs has the unique feature of not approaching the Biblical text in an exclusively chronological fashion. It is primarily verse by verse, but various verses are arranged under single topics (e.g. "The Proud" or "Parental Discipline"). You will find much in Proverbs that concern matters as practical as raising children and teaching good table manners and as timely as gossip and corrupt business practices.
