Solomon's introduction to Proverbs reminds us of the difference between true wisdom and the wisdom of the world. (1:1-7) True wisdom is from the LORD. This message is foolish to those who reject God but it is power to us who are being saved. The first address of 10 is given by Solomon to a "son". (1:8-19) He warns against joining sinners in their adventuresome plots. If God says something and it doesn't make sense, should I fault God or should I fault my reason? The greedy and violent are cautioned that they will receive punishment from God.
