Description

This Book is so called, because it consists of wise and weighty sentences: regulating the morals of men: and directing them to wisdom and virtue. And these sentences are also called PARABLES, because great truths are often couched in them under certain figures and similitudes. The use and end of the proverbs. An exhortation to flee the company of the wicked: and to hearken to the voice of wisdom.
