How firm a foundation, the foundation,

ye saints of the Lord is laid for your faith in his excellent word.

The school bells ringing and wisdom is calling us back to class.

Welcome to through the Bible with Dr. J. Vernon McGee.

We got a lot of ground to cover today, so let's pray and get started.

Heavenly Father, would you make your word a blessing to all who hear it?

And then give us the wisdom that we need to live a life that's pleasing to you.

In Jesus name, Amen.

Here's our study of Proverbs 11 on through the Bible with Dr. J. Vernon McGee.

Now friends, we come back here. on through the Bible with Dr. J. Vernon McGee.

Now friends, we come back here to the 11th chapter of Proverbs,

and as we do, we are seeing that the young man that started out in life,

that he was directed to his parents, then he moved out in life and then he was told

made very clear that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge and then he got a great deal of advice on the

outside for those teenage period.

Now we come here in chapter 11 and Wisdom, who is Christ, a schoolist started and wisdom now is the

teacher and we saw last time that she hadn't even go out in the highways and byways to get her pupils but she got them and now they're in class and she's teaching by Proverbs and these Proverbs are generally proverbs that you have as we saw at the very beginning of this study that there are several different kinds of proverbs and that most of these are proverbs that are

taught by parallelism. That's the way Hebrew poetry is attained and an item is repeated or the contrast is repeated.

And so we have synonymous parallelism and antithetic or contrast parallelism

and then synthetic parallelism where the second clause develops

the thought of the first.

And you have all of that through this section here.
