The best and purest proverbs, because of inspiration, are found in the Book of Proverbs, in the Bible, the book of books. How truly they commend and illustrate divine wisdom and righteousness: and also expose fallen human nature. For instance: “My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother: For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.” The child who hears, loves and honors its parents is crowned with honor and blessing; the child of God who loves, fears and honors God, and the Jerusalem above, has the jewel of an obedient ear and the grace of precious faith uniting the body to the head, and shall live forever. |
