7 poem types in Song of Songs

A gentile king whose proverb collection is preserved in Prov 30

Agur -

a repeated word or phrase that serves to link a series of sayings or literary units together. They are especially prevalent in Proverbs where they create chains or clusters of proverbs by means of this linkage.

Catchword -

the antithesis of Lady Wisdom, Dame Folly is a personification of willful, arrogant ignorance. Dame Folly competes with Lady Wisdom for the hearts and minds of young men in Proverbs. I like to call them "the dueling divas of the Book of Proverbs." 

Dame Folly -

petiy - The simple minded/gullible (14:15; 22:3) kәsiyl - Stubborn and impatient, incapable of instruction or correction (13:20; 14:7-8;15:2, 14; 17:10,16, 24; 18:6; 26:7-9,11) Nabal - Very similar to kәsiyl but even more hardened. Someone demonstrating malicious antagonism toward God or his messiah (cf. 1 Sam 25:25; 26:21; Ps 14:1; 53:1, note the intensive parallelism of Prov 17:21) lets - scoffer (Prov 9:7-12; 14:6; 15:12; 19:25). Very similar to Nabal but w/o the political/messianic associations.

Degrees of Folly in Proverbs

A description of a likely scenario told in story form for the purpose of commending or condemning a course of action (cf. e.g. Prov. 7:6-23)

Didactive narrative -

Eliphaz' theology of retribution

Prov 1-9:

Father to Son

It is the foundational principle in the introduction (1:1-7). It closes the first collection (9:10) It introduces the second half of the second collection (15:30-33) It concludes the book 31:30 It punctuates the proverbs 20 times throughout all of the collections. A key to wisdom is knowing whom to fear

Fear God as Frame work

Relying on human wisdom = evil. It is choosing the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil. Fearing YHWH = relying on His revealed wisdom and rejecting the evil of independence and self-sufficiency. Prov 8:13 The fear of the LORD is hatred of evil. Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate.

Fear of YHWH = Rejection of Evil

When one fears God he need fear nothing else. provides security because it is knowledge of ultimate reality. 27 The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, so that one may avoid the snares of death. Prov 19:23 The fear of the LORD is life indeed; filled with it one rests secure and suffers no harm.

Fear of YHWH = Security

It is the opposite of hard-heartedness. It is responsiveness to God's correction that allows God to be gentle in His guidance (Psalm 19:7-9). Receptivity and acceptance of correction is the key to wisdom (James 1:19-21).

Fear of YHWH = Sensitivity to God's will

. This reverence and humility produce skill in living in God's world. Knowledge of finite things reduces mystery and fear but knowledge of the infinite increases mystery and fear. Prov 2:1-5 My child, if you accept my words and treasure up my commandments within you,

Fear of YHWH = Wisdom

The Egyptian notion of ma'at - the order governing the world. Ma'at was actually a deity - the female personification of the universal order without which the world would perish. Lady Wisdom may be partially modeled after this Egyptian deity but without deification (especially in Prov 8). She was also wife of Thoth - god of wisdom Wisdom/Fear is discerning and submitting to this divine order (Prov 28:2).

Fear, Wisdom, and Order

Lemuel -

Cervantes cleverly defined it as "a short saying based on long experience." A brief wisdom saying based on observation and expressed in a memorable form. Every culture has them but they seldom translate well. A proverb is like an inside joke. Only those belonging to the proverb's native culture usually fully appreciate its meaning and rhetorical impact.

Death. Nothing we do has lasting value (2:14-17; 18-21) We have no control over life's "times" (8:7; 9:11; 10:14) It is best not to think about life's futility so that one can enjoy what limited pleasures life affords before death renders everything meaningless (2:24-26;

Structure of Sayings of the Wise

Heading - 10:1a sets this off from 1-9 Another heading at 22:17 indicates new section. Change form - lengthy poems give way to aphorisms in form of a bicolon. Divides into two halves: A (10-15) & B (16:1-22:16) (So Udo Skladny) Solomon 1A dominated by antithetic parallelism carrying out contrast of Prov 9. Solomon 1B breaks into numerous types of parallelism. 1A treats wisdom as an ethical rather than intellectual reality 1A operates broadly on a character-fate nexus rather than narrowly on a deed-consequence nexus (as typical of 1B). 1B focuses on life in the royal court. Royal king elevated as God's representative. 1B emphasizes differences between human and divine righteousness. 1B focuses more on God's intimate involvement in the outworking of our lives. 1B defines wisdom as wit and cunning 15:30-16:15 illustrative of differences between A & B. An introduction to B

Structure of Solomon 1

If individual proverbs are read in isolation they lead to distortion. Proverbs guards against this through the use of antitheses. See for example the balance struck by 18:10-11 The best example is 26:4-5 Another good example are statements regarding poverty (10:4; 13:18; 14:23; 14:31; 17:5)

Tensions Between Proverbs

" (22:17-24:22) lacks an editorial introduction. The imperative of 22:17 recalls the intros to the father's discourses in Prov 1-9 (cf. 23:15,19,22,26; 24:13,21) Use of imperatives, extended sayings with motive clauses. Editorial intro starts 4th collection at 24:22 Similarities of unit with Amenemope confirms its status as an independent section.

The "Sayings of the Wise

Wisdom without Revelation is Nothing but Sorrow

The Theology of Ecclesiastes

Qoheleth's frustration (Romans 1:21; 8:20; 1 Cor 3:20; 15:17; 1 Pet 1:18). The NT deals with the problem of the distance/transcendence of God (Eccl 5:1; John 1:14). The NT resolves the absurdity of "herding after the wind" (Romans 8:14; Gal. 5:8).

The theme of futility - the NT answers

•Frame narrator is critical of Qoheleth's teaching (12:8-14) - discuss yoter 12:12 •Qoheleth correctly and poignantly identified the results of the Fall. His diatribe is valuable for its honest, accurate assessment of life in a fallen world. •Qoheleth incorrectly concludes that the futility of life in a fallen world is ultimate and final. •Frame narrator = canonical voice of the book. He warns his son of Qoheleth's teaching acknowledging the legitimacy of his observations but challenging his conclusion. 1 Peter 1:18. knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, ... •Frame narrator agrees that life under the sun has been frustrated by the fall. •He adds, however, that a revealed divine order exists that will prevail over evil and frustration. •Qoheleth denies that the Day of the LORD will come, bringing a Messiah who will bring justice (Isa 42). •The frame narrator, however, affirms the Day of the LORD. Therefore there IS a point to the healthy fear of God.

Theology of Ecclesiastes

One must distinguish Qoheleth's theology from the books canonical theology Qoheleth never refers to God by his covenant name. God exercises his sovereignty arbitrarily and tyrannically Qoheleth appears to have a skewed view of the "fear of God" ( Qoheleth sees no justice in this life nor in the next ( Qoheleth is fatalistic believing that God is unmoved by human petitions (6:10) Qoheleth is suspicious of God. He seems to think that the only reliable basis of knowledge is his own perception He talks only to himself, never to God The implication is a rejection of revelation in favor of relying on one's own experience Perhaps the clearest expression of Qoheleth's frustration with God occurs in 3:10. Qoheleth is unable to work in faith, trusting God with the outcome (2:18-26)

Qoheleth denies that the Day of the LORD will come, bringing a Messiah who will bring justice (Isa 42). The frame narrator, however, affirms the Day of the LORD. Therefore there IS a point to the healthy fear of God.

Theology of the Book

judicial theory - the wrath of God had to be appeased by the death of Jesus subjective - Jesus;' death is an example for us ---to move us to imitate is act of selflessness and adopt a cruciform life- but nothing object if taking place there christ ( listen too ) when jesus went to cross he was in warfare with the devil...and devil feel for the trap and was insnared YB suggestion to Add new theory - what about the futility of life - but he makes this life important by attaching it to the one to come - John is insistent on this ...eternal life is now, begins when we accept the Cross - begins moment we unite with Christ in Baptism - Cross is the solution to futility

Theories of atonement

• •Death. Nothing we do has lasting value (2:14-17; 18-21) •We have no control over life's "times" (8:7; 9:11; 10:14)

What are Qoheleth's frustrations

Qoheleth's Frame: Futile! Utterly Futile! (1:2; 12:8) "Futility" occurs 26x throughout the book Six "Carpe Diem" texts (2:24; 3:12, 22; 5:18; 8:15; 9:7-9) The same fate awaits all regardless of morality or wisdom (9:1-3) Moderation in all things, including morality!

What are the Two refrains in Song of Songs

The danger of misreading Proverbs Job demonstrates the folly of misapplying proverbs and uncritically embracing conventional wisdom. Ecclesiastes demonstrates the bitterness and unbelief that results when false expectations based on a misreading of proverbs are dashed. Empiricism vs. reasoned, seeking faith Wisdom literature does not impart wisdom, it develops it within us. Wisdom is not a free download. It is the result of mental & moral exercise.

What is Wisdom gone wrong

Frame 1:1-11; 12:9-14 Introduction to both subsections - life is nothing but frustration, sorrow, and pain (1:12-18) Section 1: What gain is there in chasing after wind?

YHWH in the midst of the Storm threatening Manifestation of Chaos in the Cosmos in can bring devastation --- an area that is out of mans control =YHWH tacit admission that he was responsible for the death of Job's children •YHWH appears in storm theophany as at Sinai •Significance of the symbolism of YHWH in the midst of the storm (Ps. 57:1; Isa. 4:6) •Storm as a symbol of chaos - does YHWH inhabit the chaos? Can chaos be his instrument? •Deus absconditus - God hidden in suffering. Suffering as the way to knowing him truly (cf. Phil. 3) God is a shelter during the storm...they have is presence Chaos can be his instrument

YHWH in the midst of the STORM

•Who are you? Identity and human dignity He is in no position to be calling God to court. •Where were you? Duration, finitude, intentionality of the creation of humanity you weren't there •Are you able? Human weakness/human dominion an invitation to compete with God. •On one level questions are rhetorical designed to humble Job •On another level questions are genuinely existential designed to invite Job into partnership with God in exercising dominion over an unfinished cosmos. - fear me and challenge creation •Is Job's suffering preparation for vocation?

YHWH's three questions to Job

over simplistic view of the deed/consequence nexus - but Quhalet made the mistake but it was more fatalistic to his faith , he became in bittered - and everything seemed meaningless to him it appears to Q that he deals everyone the same hand with the death card

how did Qoheleth share the same perspective as Job's 3 friends

Restatement of Qoheleth's conclusion (12:8) Acknowledgment of Qoheleth's wisdom Taught many people useful things Made many legitimate observations Provided helpful critiques of conventional wisdom His words offer needed discipline Warning of the dangers of wisdom w/o revelation 12:12 "Furthermore, of these beware!"
