Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Golden Words From the Book of Wisdom: A New Arrangement of the Book of Proverbs
Every people who have achieved any degree of civilization have a book of Proverbs, either written or oral. The value of these re?ect, very largely, the degree and character of the civiliza tion any people represent. Judged by this stand ard, ancient Israel was worthy of a high place. While the proverbs of all nations and all times are worthy of study, those of Israel's Philosopher King never have been surpassed or equalled either in the variety of subjects referred to, or in the purity and exalted character of the ideals set forth. This is doubtless due to the spirit of Divine inspiration which gave them birth and led to their exalted place in their literature and their miraculous preservation to the present day.
