In this message we will continue to consider the admonitions and teachings found in chapters twenty through twenty-nine. Then we will see the general words of wisdom in chapter thirty.
A number of portions in Proverbs speak of the Lord's dealing with man.
A man's steps are ordered by Jehovah; how then can man understand his own way? (20:24).
The king's heart is like streams of water in the hand of Jehovah; He turns it wherever He wishes (21:1).
Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but Jehovah weighs the hearts (v. 2).
Many seek the ruler's favor, but justice for man comes from Jehovah (29:26).
There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel that can avail against Jehovah. The horse is prepared for the day of battle, but victory belongs to Jehovah (21:30-31).
The eyes of Jehovah preserve knowledge, but He overthrows the words of the treacherous man (22:12).
It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the glory of kings is to search a matter out (25:2).
