We could learn wonderful lessons from the book of Proverbs, a book found in the Holy Bible, to become a wiser person. I found this book among many other books in the Holy Bible very simple for anyone to understand and practice and become wiser. I have read it over and over again and I really enjoyed the teachings of this wonderful book. I will recommend to anyone who has a desire to want to become wise or wiser.
In the Holy Bible we read, King Solomon was known as the wisest king lived in the world during his time. He reigned in Israel from 965 to 925 BC. He was the son of famous King David. Even today his writings are found in the famous libraries around the world. Many who aspire to be lawyers and judges have found it a treasure of knowledge. And they found them very useful to practice in their profession.
After the death of King David, Solomon was anointed King of Israel according to the instructions given by his father.
As Solomon also was a god-fearing man he went to God in prayer after he was anointed to be the king of Israel. Here is what happened when he was praying:
That is how he got the wisdom that made him so famous around the world during his time, and even till this day. As you read and practice them you will become wiser and enjoy your life. There are only thirty-one chapters in that book. This book is known as 'wisdom literature'. You can read them on line from the link provided below under schedule for reading. I encourage you to begin reading one chapter a day. I have enjoyed reading and meditating on them and I have gained very much. I don't mean to say I have become very wise. But I am better than before and I am becoming better each day as I continue reading them. It is a book everyone should read and practice if you want to see a better world than the one that we are seeing today.
The Bible's account of Solomon's wisdom in his days:
Solomon's wisdom was greater than the wisdom of all the men of the East, and greater than all the wisdom of Egypt. He was wiser than any other man, including Ethan the Ezrahite -- wiser than Heman, Calcol and Darda, the sons of Mahol. And his fame spread to all the surrounding nations.
He spoke three thousand proverbs and his songs numbered a thousand and five. He described plant life, from the cedar of Lebanon to the hyssop that grows out of walls. He also taught about animals and birds, reptiles and fish. Men of all nations came to listen to Solomon's wisdom, sent by all the kings of the world, who had heard of his wisdom (1 Kings 4:30-34).
Some of Solomon's three thousand proverbs were compiled as Proverbs in the Bible. There are a total of 31 chapters. You may read them at your own pace.
