2). The Book of Proverbs gives "__________" which appears to be like "_____"
The book of Proverbs gives principles for living, which appears to be like scattered. ."
The various subjects that it deals with are sprinkled throughout the book, seemingly disconnected, often it appears to have no association to the declaration given just previous, or the following truth stated. The reader runs across a proverb on child rearing, and the very next breath is a proverb on a completely different subject, such as gossip or riches. Why is this? It seems, at times, as if Solomon dropped his manuscript and the pages got shuffled when he put them back together!
There are those who hesitant to get too excited over the book of Proverbs because of this sprinkled style of presenting truth. This seems to be a common aversion in studying what appears to be very difficult to comprehend. However, as one begins to apply himself to what he reads in the book of Proverbs, he will find that, instead of spending time on the outskirts of his problems, and not being able to come to grips with them, the book of Proverbs will give him ability to strip aside the obvious and come to the heart of the matter more quickly. I know that was long, but it explains fully.

Here, in the book of Proverbs, God's "moral-presentation" is given, dealing with God's "righteousness, justice, and equity," enabling the believer to do what is right just and fair! No matter what the subject, difficult situation, or problem one faces, a principle given here, is always there to meet the need, whatever it might be.
