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.
