Bible Book in a Sentence Sunday - Proverbs

Last week's Bible Book in a Sentence Sunday was Habakkuk.
Thanks to your suggestions I present to you Habakkuk in a sentence;
"God is too righteous to even look upon wrong, but to trust him is to live."

This week's challenge is Proverbs;

My suggestion;
Wisdom for living below, comes from above.
Got a better suggestion?

  1. I was going to say something about fearing God too.

  2. "To live well, cherish and determinedly seek wisdom. Step 1: Fear God."

    I don't think that the book as a whole is about fearing God though. Perhaps I'll be burned at the stake for this, but to me living well is actually the subject.

  3. I concur. Being wise = fearing God, but there is more to it than that. Perhaps it's the beginning of wisdom but not the end?

    The wisdom of proverbs is of benefit not just to those who fear the Lord, in fact some of it is known to come from Gentile sources. But while of benefit it is not true wisdom.

    How to capture this in a sentence...
