 Proverbs Chapter 10 Distributed by: KJV Bible Studies Website: http://www.kjvbiblestudies.net Email: [email protected] Introduction: Proverbs Chapter 10 marks the beginning of the next major section of the Book of Proverbs. Up to this point, the focus has remained primarily on the benefits of wisdom in opposition to the bitter consequences of sin. Now, the book becomes more practically focused, emphasizing the foolishness of sin and the wisdom of righteousness. Though righteousness certainly has been addressed, now the mention thereof picks up noticeably. The focus also increases upon practical right. Whereas in the first nine chapters of the book, there has been some continuity of context; now, the format becomes lengthy lists of often unrelated proverbs—wise sayings. The one thread of continuity found throughout, however, is the wisdom of doing what is right and the folly of sin. This section continues through chapter 25.
Pro 10:1 The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother. After having introduced wisdom and righteousness in the first nine chapters of the book, now Solomon focuses on detailed ‘proverbs’ of righteous living.

 Ruth Chapter 4 Distributed by: KJV Bible Studies Website: www.KjvBibleStudies.net e-mail: [email protected] Introduction: We conclude our study on the book of Ruth this week as Ruth is redeemed and married to the her kinsman redeemer Boaz.

The kinsman-redeemer must meet three tests, if the redemption is to take place. 1. He must have the RIGHT to redeem. He must be a near kinsman with no nearer kinsman willing to redeem. 2. He must have the POWER to redeem. If he is poor, of course he could not redeem. 3. He must be WILLING to redeem . Think upon these 3 tests in regard to Boaz, and in regard to our kinsman-redeemer, the Lord Jesus Christ. I. The Kinsman Who Was Unwilling to Redeem Ruth 4:1 Then went Boaz up to the gate, and sat him down there: and, behold, the kinsman of whom Boaz spake came by; unto whom he said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside, and sat down. Ruth 4:2 And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye down here. And they sat down. Boaz finds the man who was the closest to redeem Ruth. Boaz comes to the gate of the city which was a good place to possibly find him, and the place of important business. According to the law, those seeking refuge were to come to the gate.
