([Parabolæ Salomonis, children David, king Israel, )
1.1 Parabolæ Salomonis. Notandum quod vulgata editio parabolas, quæ Hebraice misle, Græce paræmias, id est, proverbia dicit; sed satis convenit. Quæ enim parabolæ quia occulta sunt nuncupantur, etiam proverbia jure vocantur: quia talia sunt, quæ sæpe in ore colloquentium versari ac memoria debent retineri. Etiam proverbia plerumque tam obscura sunt ut parabolæ bene dicantur; unde: Hæc in proverbiis locutus sum vobis Joan. 6., etc. Proverbiorum liber, non ut simplices arbitrantur, patentia habet præcepta, sed quasi in terra aurum, in nuce nucleus, in hirsutis castanearum operculis absconditus fructus inquiritur: ita in eis divinus sensus altius est inquirendus. Parabolæ Salomonis secundum Hebraicam veritatem translatæ ab Eusebio, Hieronymo presbytero petente Chromatio et Heliodoro episcopis; Græce, Latine similitudines; quod vocabulum ideo Salomon huic operi imposuit, ut non juxta litteram intelligamus quæ dicit: in quo Dominum parabolice turbis locuturum significat, sicut et nomine suo regno pacifico, regnum Christi et Ecclesiæ; de quo: Multiplicabitur ejus imperium, et regni ejus non erit finis. Super solium David, et super regnum ejus sedebit Luc. 1.. Sicut templi constructione et dedicatione, ædificationem Ecclesiæ in tempore resurrectionis. Ipse etiam Christus filius David, et rex spiritualis Isræl, secundum testimonium turbæ, quæ occurrit ei cum ramis palmarum et laudibus Matth. 21.. Quid autem utilitatis habeant, in titulo monstratur, cum dicitur: Ad sciendam sapientiam et disciplinam; id est, quomodo recte credere et vivere oporteat, quemque quo intentionem cordis dirigere.
1.1 Parabolæ Salomonis. Notandum that vulgata editio parabolas, which Hebraice misle, Græce paræmias, id it_is, proverbia dicit; but satis convenit. Quæ because parabolæ because occulta are nuncupantur, also proverbia yure vocantur: because talia are, which sæpe in ore colloquentium versari ac memoria debent retineri. Etiam proverbia plerumque tam obscura are as parabolæ bene dicantur; unde: This in proverbiis spoke I_am vobis Yoan. 6., etc. Proverbiorum liber, not/no as simplices arbitrantur, patentia habet præcepta, but as_if in earth/land aurum, in nuce nucleus, in hirsutis castanearum operculis absconditus fructus inquiritur: ita in to_them divinus sensus altius it_is inquirendus. Parabolæ Salomonis after/second Hebraicam words translatæ away Eusebio, Hieronymo presbytero petente Chromatio and Heliodoro episcopis; Græce, Latine similitudines; that vocabulum ideo Salomon huic operi imposuit, as not/no next_to litteram intelligamus which he_says: in quo Dominum parabolice turbis locuturum significat, like and nomine his_own regno pacifico, kingdom of_Christ and Ecclesiæ; about quo: Multiplicabitur his government, and regni his not/no will_be finis. Super solium David, and over kingdom his sedebit Luc. 1.. Sicut templi constructione and delet_him_sayione, ædificationem Ecclesiæ in tempore resurrectionis. Exactly_that also Christus son David, and king spiritualis Isræl, after/second testimony turbæ, which occurrit to_him when/with ramis palmarum and laudibus Matth. 21.. What however utilitatis habeant, in titulo monstratur, when/with it_is_said: Ad sciendam wisdom and disciplinam; id it_is, how recte credere and vivere oporteat, quemque quo intentionem cordis dirigere.
1:1 Solomon is the foremost authority on Israelite wisdom (see 1 Kgs 3:1-28; 4:32). Many proverbs are ascribed to Solomon, but he did not write all of them (see Prov 22:17; 24:23; 25:1; 30:1; 31:1).
Wisdom
Wisdom helps us know how to speak and act in different situations. It provides the ability to avoid problems as well as the skill to handle them when they arise. Wisdom goes beyond simple intelligence. Proverbs notes that even animals such as ants, hyraxes, locusts, and lizards (Prov 30:24-28) are wise. This is not because they have great intelligence but because they know how to navigate life skillfully.
The foundation of wisdom is God himself. No wisdom exists apart from fear of the Lord (1:7). Wisdom is closely connected to righteousness and remains distant from evil. According to Proverbs, wisdom is gained through observation and experience (6:6-8), from instruction based on tradition (22:17-21), in learning from mistakes (12:1), and finally, but most importantly, through divine revelation (see 1:7).
In 1 Corinthians 1–2, Paul contrasts the “wisdom” of the world (which he calls foolishness) with the wisdom of Christ. Paul also says of Jesus, “In him lie hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge” (Col 2:3). The wisdom that comes from God is evidenced in the lives of believers by their goodness, humility, purity, and peace (Jas 3:13-18).
