About the Author of the Blogsite, Not the Author of the Bible::

About the Author of the Blogsite, Not the Author of the Bible: I was uncertain of how to accomplish this, mindful of Revelation 22:18-19, which says that nobody is to add to, or to take away from what was written in the Bible. After lots of prayerful contemplation, the Lord had it on my heart that I’m not to change the meaning of what is written in the Bible. He has also shown ways to add to people’s understating of that meaning, without altering the meaning, by putting that info within [brackets]. This is primarily accomplished with the KJV Bible and lots of prayers, but at times, BibleGateway.com, Biblehub.com, NIV Bible, Webster Dictionary, and other internet resources, as needed.

About Understanding the Bible:

Understanding the Bible: After reading Isaiah 28:10 many times over the years and not totally understanding it, it recently became apparent to me that the Lord God has this passage as the means for understanding the Bible. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little. Isaiah 28:10 KJV. Being prayerful about this passage, and looking up 'precept' in the Webster's Dictionary, it gave this passage a whole new meaning, once 'commandment' is substituted for 'precept'. Within brackets are additional words the Lord had on my heart to aid in understanding the meaning. For commandment must be [built up] upon commandment; commandment upon commandment; line upon line, line upon line; [developing understanding] here a little, and there a little.

The Table Format:

The Table Format: I was overwhelmed with how to explain the process for determining if someone had leprosy in Leviticus 13, which seemed very complicated. After praying, "Lord, if this is difficult for me to understand after reading it many times, how can this be explained to others?" The thought the Lord God had on my heart was for me to put it into a vertical chart to visually see the process. This made it much easier for me to follow the progression. After doing so, I prayed, "Lord, how can this be conveyed to readers, so that they can understand this process?" The thought the Lord God had on my heart was to put it within the lines of a table. Being a stiff-necked, stubborn person, as it's often called in the Bible, I prayed, asking the Lord God if He's sure that's really what He wanted me to do? I reluctantly put Leviticus 13 into a table format. When I read this difficult leprosy process within a table format, it suddenly became easier for me to understand. That's because it builds line upon line, as explained in the Understanding the Bible section. Shortly after that, the Lord God had it on my heart, to put all of The Books of the Bible in Smaller Chunks within a table format, to aid in understanding, line upon line.

Proverbs 10:1-32 Some of the Proverbs of Solomon

 

Some of the Proverbs of Solomon

Proverbs 10:1-32                                  Proverbs [in Smaller Chunks]

The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son makes a glad father: but a foolish son is the [grief] of his mother. [The] treasures of wickedness [are of no benefit:] but righteousness delivers [people] from death.

[Isaiah 55:6-7 Seek you the Lord, while He may be found & call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked [abandon] his [path] & the unrighteous man his thoughts. And let him return to the Lord & to our God & He will have mercy upon him, for He will abundantly pardon.]

The Lord [won’t allow] the soul of the righteous to [starve:] but He [casts] away the [possessions] of the wicked. [He who has] a [lazy] hand, becomes poor: but the hand of [those who work industriously,] makes [him] rich. 

He [who gathers grain] in the summer is a wise son: but he [who] sleeps [during] harvest, is a son that causes shame. Blessings are upon the head of the [righteous:] but violence [conceals] the mouth of the wicked. 

Blessed is the memory of the just: but the name of the wicked shall rot. [Those with a] wise heart will receive commandments: but a [babbling] fool shall [be ruined.] He [who] walks [honestly,] walks [securely:] but he, [who leads people astray,] shall be known. 

He, [who] winks [his] eye [causes trouble:] but a [babbling] fool shall [be ruined.] The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence [hides] the mouth of the wicked. Hatred [stirs] up [discord:] but love covers all sins. 

Wisdom is found [on] the lips of him [who has] understanding: but a rod is for the back of him [who] is [without] understanding. Wise men [store] up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction. His strong [fortified] city is the rich man’s wealth & poverty is [the cause of] the destruction of the poor.

The labor of the righteous [leads] to life: but the [wages] of the wicked [leads] to sin. [Proverbs 5:22 The wicked himself, shall [be caught] in his own iniquities & he shall be held by the cords of his sins.] He, [who] keeps instruction is in the [road that leads to] life: but he, [who refuses correction, goes astray.] 

He, [who hides] hatred with lying lips & he [who slanders,] is a fool. He, [who refrains] his lips is wise: but in the multitude of words, [he doesn’t] want [his] sin [to be known.]

The tongue of the just is [like] choice silver: the heart of the wicked is [of] little [value.] The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for [lack] of wisdom. The blessing of the Lord, makes [people] rich & He [doesn’t add] sorrow with it.

To [plot & cause harm through] mischief is [like] a sport to a fool: but a man [with] understanding has wisdom. [What] the wicked fear, shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.

[Just like a tornado] passes [away,] so [shall] the wicked [be] no more: but the righteous [have] an everlasting foundation. [Psalm 37:9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those [who] wait on the Lord, shall inherit the earth.]

[Like] vinegar [does] to the teeth & smoke to the eyes, so is the [lazy one] to them, [who] send him. The fear [respect] of the Lord prolongs [life:] but the years of the wicked shall be shortened. 

Gladness shall be the hope of the righteous: but the [hope] of the wicked shall perish. The [Lord’s] way, is strength to the [righteous:] but destruction shall be [for those] workers of iniquity. 

The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth. [Psalm 37:22 For such [who are] blessed [by God,] shall inherit the earth & [those who are] cursed [by] Him, shall be [destroyed.]

The mouth of the just brings forth wisdom: but the [deceitful] tongue shall be [destroyed.] The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked [speaks deceitfully.]
