That brings us to the end of our readings in Proverbs for now. (The next verse, Pr. 22:17, speaks of the “words of the wise“, which likely indicates a new author — someone other than Solomon — so we will read the rest of the book later.) We have covered a lot of ground over the past week, and all my commentary from last year (if you bothered to read it) only scratched the surface. I hope that we have not just read through these chapters with a “check the box” mentality, reading the words but missing the wisdom. I hope that we all go back and read Proverbs at a more reasonable pace — even just a verse or two at a time — and mull over the wisdom that we are given here in order to make it our own. But will you? Is wisdom worth that extra effort?
