Proverbs is the biblical statement that everything—ants, spouses, overeating, compliments, curiosity (see Proverbs 27:20), every detail of life—is of infinite, eternal importance. The factory is as high on the agenda as the church pew. Family life is discussed with the same seriousness as the life of the Godhead. The words of men are ranged along with the words of God for examination and contemplation. Nothing from life is excluded; everything is included.
