Scriptures taken from the Holy Bible, utilizing the New International Version (NIV) of biblical text. Translated out of the original tongues. King Solomon is attributed with writing Proverbs. However, the poetry in Proverbs is often difficult to understand and comprehend. Thus, in this book, Tobijah Pettus has topically sorted Proverbs 10 through 31 (659 verses) into 14 categories for easier comprehension… but the text is still 100% Bible. The writing is still attributed to King Solomon, but this work is a “derivative work” based upon the NIV translation. This work is intended to be read cover to cover. Psalms 117-136 & Proverbs 1-9 set the stage. Then, Proverbs 10-31 is adapted / recast / transformed into 7 categories detailing The Wicked / Foolish Individual vs. 7 categories detailing the Righteous / Wise Individual. Proverbs is wisdom’s guide as to what we are and as to what God wants us to become with Him. This is a creative expression that displays Proverbs in topical order. All of Proverbs is also included for reference. This work, as a whole, represents an original work of authorship and as such it can be printed.
