Interpretive Study of Proverbs 13

Chapter theme:  Results of Judgment

God's Way to Study His Word:

In 2Timothy 2:15 we read: Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.  The true definition of the word dividing  is: 'a Mathematical function whereby we separate pre-defined units according to a precise procedure which produces a precise result'.  However, while most people understand that 'there is one interpretation but many applications of The word of God', they fail to separate the procedures of each.  And, as a result, they fail to separate the 'one interpretation of The word of God' from the 'many applications of The word of God'.  This leads to many errors which people blame on the perfect word of God  instead of their using the wrong procedure.

The result, of men using the wrong way, is that men claim that there are errors and conflicts in God's word.  In Isaiah 28; God tells us how to understand His word.  In addition, God preserved the message of His word; He preserves every word of His sentences; and God preserves every punctuation mark (jot and title)  of His sentences.  Therefore, God preserved what He wanted us to understand and God told us how to understand His word so that we have no errors and no conflicts.  Unfortunately, for at least one hundred and fifty (150) yeare, men have been taught to use the wrong way to interpret God's word instead of using God's way.

In Isaiah 55:9 we are told For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.  Thus, God warns us that our ways are wrong and that using God's way  produces better results, which have no errors and no conflicts.

In addition, 1Corinthians 2:14 tells us: But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.  Therefore, we can not properly understand the spiritual word of God  using man's way.  We must use God's way to understand God's preserved word of God.  And, the basics of God's way is to understand His preserved word of God  using the sentence format and true Biblical definitions for Bible words.

This Study follows the Biblical Way to understand God's Word.  It applies precepts  ('truths that never change for any circumstance').  It then goes through the epistle sentence-upon-sentence (line upon line  [Isaiah 28 ]).  This is different from the ways of men which use verse-upon-verse or some other method which generates errors.  God's sentence-upon-sentence method also pays attention to what 'The word of God' tells us that God preserved, which are the true Biblical meanings of words and the Biblical usage of punctuation.  (These two are the components of sentences and do not give us verses.) the 'The word of God' tells us that God preserved punctuation (one jot or one tittle)  in Matthew 5:18 and Luke 16:17.  And 'The word of God' tells us that God preserved every word  when he wrote: Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God  (Deuteronomy 8:3; Matthew 4:4 and Luke 4:4).

The summary of the epistle comes from the summary of each chapter and each chapter summary within that book.  Every chapter summary comes from the summary of each sentence within that chapter.  And, the sentence summaries come from analysis using the punctuation and true word definitions, as already explained.  As a result, we have what God literally had written and see that there are no conflicts even when we consider the smallest part of a sentence compared to the entire Bible book.  God is consistent from the start of a Bible book to the end and is consistent in His doctrines and word definitions across the entire Bible.  What we have is an integrated whole (single) message, with no errors and no conflicts.  This particular book Study is part of a detailed analysis of the entire New Testament which shows this truth.

Other than cults, all claims of errors and conflicts are based upon the New Testament.  This Study is part of a series which interprets the preserved word of God  using God's way and proving that there are no errors, nor any conflicts, if we obey God and use His way to interpret His word.  And, this series concentrates on the New Testament, since that is the basis of these lies about the perfect word of God.

I have read, or at least skimmed, every book which has been written in the last hundred and fifty (150) years and which claims to teach people how to study and understand The word of God.  In every case, they use a method which comes from man and do not use God's way (Isaiah 55:8) to study and understand The word of God.  And, while there are variations from one man-written method to another man-written method, every one of them ends up with problems.  The end result of those problems is that people blame God's perfect word for their own problems and either turn to a man-written 'bible' or skip verses.  (By skipping the interpretation of certain verses, they can hide the conflict which their method has produced.)

Now, many people find that the Detail Studies to be overwhelming because they have everything required to prove that there are NO errors in The perfect word of God.  This summary level is easier to understand for most people.  At the same time, if someone has an argument with what is presented here, the matching Detail Study provides all of the proof required in order to show that what is here matches exactly what God wrote in His word.  Again, this is not a matter of my opinion versus their opinion.  I have over thirty (30) years’ experience as a professional Systems Analyst with an international reputation for accuracy in how to prove things.  And, this series of books are the result of using recognized methods of analysis to prove what God actually wrote.  This series does not present a religious opinion.  Therefore, a religious opinion, which was arrived at from using wrong methods, is not superior to a true analysis of what God wrote.

People have looked for over twenty (20) years and failed to find any other work that covers everything this series cover.  In addition, no one has found any other work which covers the level of detail found in the Detail Studies.  Further, the Detail Studies literally have several million Bible references to support the interpretation provided and to show that The perfect word of God  is consistent all across it for word definitions and doctrines.  Again, no one has found any other work which has this quantity of Bible references supporting what is presented.  I do not write this to brag but to inform the reader the depth of study which supports what is presented in this series.

Let any who disagree show their method and the results of their method and try to explain how their method, which produces errors, is greater that God's way which produces no errors and no conflicts.

Chapter theme:  Results of Judgment

Almost every sentence within this chapter has a colon followed by the word but.  That makes each Equivalent Section within the sentence the polar opposite of the other Equivalent Section within the same sentence.  In most sentences, the First Equivalent Section, within each sentence tells the judgment and result of a person who follows Godly Wisdom.  In most sentences, the Second Equivalent Section, within each sentence tells the judgment and result of a person who follows the wisdom of this world / our flesh.  (In at least one sentence this order is reversed even though the polar opposite effect is maintained.)  the first three chapters of 1Corinthians tell us that these two types of wisdom  are polar opposites, which matches what we find within the structure of the sentences within this chapter.  In addition, much of this chapter is talking about lifestyle s which can be seen by all of the action verbs which end in th  ('The action keeps on keeping on happening as a lifestyle ').

This chapter gives us several examples of Godly Wisdom  in contrast to the wisdom of this world / our flesh.

  1. Equivalent Section:  A wise son.
    1. A wise son heareth his father's instruction:.
  2. Equivalent Section:  A foolish son.
    1. but a scorner heareth not rebuke.

The equivalency of our sentence tells us that a scorner  is the opposite of a wise  person.  Yes, our sentence uses the word son,  but many people thing of a young person when they see that word.  In reality, even as a older person we are still a son.  The word but,  following the colon, makes these two Equivalent Sections polar opposites.

Next we see that the scorner heareth not rebuke,  which means that he 'keeps on keeping on refusing to let anyone put a check on his attitudes and actions'.  While many of us will reject rebuke at times, the wise son  minimizes those rejections, especially when the instruction  comes from his father.

Please notice that both Equivalent Sections have the action verb of heareth.  Thus, our sentence is talking about what is done as a lifestyle and not just a one-time action.

Please see the notes for Romans C16S23 and 1Corinthians C1S12 about the word wise.  The New Testament definition is: 'The right use or exercise of knowledge; the choice of laudable ends, and of the best means to accomplish them'.  Please also see the note for 1Corinthians C1S12 about the word wisdom.  Please also see the first three chapters of 1Corinthians which explain how the wisdom of this world / man / devils  goes in the opposite direction from the wisdom of God.

The Biblical definition of son  is: 'a son receives the character of his father'.  In some cases, but not all, this word is used for 'The male physical descendent'.  Click here for all of the verses that use Son  and here for the Summary on the name / role of Son  within the Lord Jesus Christ Study.

Please see the notes for 1Corinthians C12S14 and Galatians C3-S7 about the word hear.  Webster's 1828 dictionary defines this word as: 'Perceiving by the ear.  This word is often used symbolically for hearing the spiritual message of the word of God, as sound. 1. Listening to; attending to; obeying; observing what is commanded. 2. Attending to witnesses or advocates in a judicial trial; trying'.  Please pay attention to the word 'obey' within this definition.  That is what most people refuse to do when the Bible says that they do not hear.  Please also see the note for James 2:5 about the word hearken.  Please also see the note for Mark 4:9 about the phrase He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Please see the note for Philippians 4:12 about the word instruct.  The New Testament definition is: 'To teach; to inform the mind; to educate; to impart knowledge to one who was destitute of it'.

Please see the note for 2Peter 3:1 about the word scorn.  The New Testament definition is: 'extreme contempt; that disdain which springs from a person's opinion of the meanness of an object, and a consciousness or belief of his own superiority or worth'.

Please see the note for Titus 2:15 about the word rebuke.  The New Testament definition is: 'To chide; to reprove; to reprehend for a fault; to check by reproof'.

C13-S2 (Verse 2) . 
  1. Equivalent Section:  Wise control of the tongue.
    1. A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth:.
  2. Equivalent Section:  Foolish control of the tongue.
    1. but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence.

The equivalency of our sentence tells us that transgressors  is the opposite of A man (who) shall eat good.  The word but,  following the colon, makes these two Equivalent Sections polar opposites.  In the Bible, good  is: 'In the Bible, only what comes from God is called good. Therefore, the Biblical definition of good  does not match what men think it should be'.  Thus, we know that transgressors   will not receive good  from God.

Our soul  is: 'The long-term results of combining all of the short-term effects of our heart.  Both are the way that we think, the way that we make decisions and the way that we react emotionally to the circumstances of life'.  It should be obvious that our soul  can not eat  physical food.  In addition, the phrase eat violence  also makes it impossible that this is speaking about physical eating.  However, what we eat  provides sustenance for us.  Therefore, our First Equivalent Section is telling us that 'a man's soul shall receive long-term sustenance for the way that he thinks and the way that he makes decisions of his will and the way that he reacts emotionally based upon The fruit of his mouth'.  When a man says friendly things to others, he also receives friendly thoughts and emotional encouragement and advice.  When a man constantly talks about the wisdom of God,  he receives the same when he is discussing thoughts, circumstances of life, decisions to make and similar things.  Now, we could go on with other illustrations, but we will move onto the rest of this sentence.

When we look at our Second Equivalent Section, we see that it tells us that The soul of the transgressors   'shall receive long-term sustenance for the way that he thinks and the way that he makes decisions of his will and the way that he reacts emotionally so that the long-term results are violence'.  All of the time we can hear people complain and blame God for what happened in the world, especially when it is not extremely obvious that the so-called victims did not cause the result which they received.  However, when people vote in sinful and selfish leaders, they are responsible for the things that those leaders do.  When people refuse to stand to the commandments of God or refuse to separate from ungodly people, it's not God's fault that they become an 'innocent victim'.  Basically, our Second Equivalent Section tells us that the expected end result of being a transgressor  is violence  and the opposite of the result that a person can expect when they obey God's law.

Please see the notes for Romans C14S2; 1Corinthians C11S37 and Hebrews 13:10 about the word eat.  The New Testament definition is: 'Besides the common use of this word, it is employed symbolically for to 'consume, destroy'.

Please see the note for Romans C7S16 about the word good.  The New Testament definition is: 'In the Bible, only what comes from God is called good. Therefore, the Biblical definition of good  does not match what men think it should be'.  'Original Sin' was eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil  (Genesis 3).  Since then men have thought they could define good,  but their definitions have been wrong and have been sin (Matthew 7:23; Luke 13:27).  Therefore, the Biblical definition of good  does not match what men think it should be.  Please also see the note for Romans C11S26 about the word goodness.  Please also see the note for Mark 14:14 about the word goodman.  Please also see the note for Mark 2:28-LJC about the phrase Good Friday.

Please see the notes for 1Corinthians C9S10 about the word fruit.  The New Testament definition is: 'a word as used in Scripture denoting produce in general, whether vegetable or animal'.  Please also see the note for James 3:18 about the phrase fruit of righteousness.  Please also see the note for Romans C8S21 about the word firstfruits.  In Matthew 12:34-37 and Luke 6:44-45; Jesus  tells us how our fruit  will be used to judge us.

Please see the notes for Romans C13S1; Psalms 119:20 about the word soul.  The New Testament definition is: 'The long-term results of combining all of the short-term effects of our heart.  Both are the way that we think, the way that we make decisions and the way that we react emotionally to the circumstances of life'.  Please also see the note for James 1:21 about the phrase save your soul.

Please see the note for 1John 3:4 about the word transgress.  Webster's 1828 dictionary defines this word as: 'To pass over or beyond any limit; to surpass. 2. In a moral sense, to overpass any rule prescribed as the limit of duty; to break or violate a law, civil or moral. to transgress a divine law, is sin. Legislators should not transgress laws of their own making.
TRANSGRESS', v.i. to offend by violating a law; to sin. Chron 2'.
