Proverbs for Life

The book of the Proverbs is often described and defined as a book of wisdom, in contrast to the way of foolish-ness.  Yet the book of the Proverbs also has much to say concerning the way of righteousness, in contrast to the way of wickedness.  In fact, within the context of the book of the Proverbs, the way of wisdom is presented as being directly equivalent to the way of righteousness; and the way of foolishness is presented as being directly equivalent to the way of wickedness.  Even so, throughout the listing of proverbial statements in Proverbs 11, we find a number of truths concerning the benefits of righteousness (in contrast to the detriments of wickedness).
