Proverbs for Women

Do women give the Book of Proverbs, a book whose teachings are addressed to men, the same consideration they give other biblical scriptures? Do they derive meaning from Solomon’s words and apply them to their everyday lives? If Solomon had a daughter, would he have written to her in a similar fashion, advising her on the complexity of life and its many nuances?  At any given moment it is hard for anyone to distinguish a good and peaceable way of life that is both moral and just. However, Solomon did and sought to instruct his son in such a manner. If he’d had a daughter, he likely would have conveyed similar wisdom to help her succeed in her life and with her family. And thus was this modified version of the Proverbs of Solomon created.  All women need to feel Proverbs, even in its original form, includes them. Read this book side by side with the Bible of your choice for a new appreciation of the wisdom of Proverbs.
