TITLE. The Proverbs. Heb. Mishlai; Greek, Paroimiai = any dark sententious saying; Vulg. Proverbia. Whence the English name. Heb.

Mishlai is from Mashal = to rule (Genesis 1:18; Genesis 3:16. Exodus 21:8, &c). Hence applied to words which are to rule and govern the life. Not a collection of human wisdom, but of Divine rules from heaven for earth.

 

The book is quoted in the N.T.:

 

Proverbs 1:16 in Romans 3:15.

Proverbs 3:11-12 in Hebrews 12:5, Hebrews 12:6. Revelation 3:19.

Proverbs 3:34 in James 4:6. 1 Peter 5:5 .

Proverbs 11:31 in 1 Peter 4:18.

Proverbs 25:21-22 in Romans 12:20.

Proverbs 26:11 in 2 Peter 2:22. And also allusions, as in Romans 12:16, &c.

 

The Structure (p. 864) distinguishes the main divisions of the book, marked by such expressions as "My son"; "The words of the wise"; and the pronouns "thy", "thee", &c.; and the Proverbs "for"; and Proverbs "by" Solomon. Some proverbs are for a ruler, others are general, and for all men.

 

Mashal is used of an Allegory (Ezekiel 17:2); a discourse (Numbers 23:7, Numbers 23:8); a taunt (Isaiah 14:4); an argument (Job 29:1); a byword (Jeremiah 24:9); a lament (Micah 2:4):all Proverbs are distinguished by parallelism of lines, synonymous, or gradational, or synthetic (i.e. constructive), or antithetic (i.e. contrastive). These again are arranged (as to order) either in alternate or introverted lines.
