Vision, People, and the Law - Core Values Part 10

<p>Core Values - Part 10 <br>Vision, People, and the Law (Proverbs 29:18)</p><p>One would observe that ancient Hebrew poetry often used parallelism. Parallelism occurs when the second line conveys the same meaning to the first line. Proverbs 29:18 shows this. The first line warns about people going wild or having no restraint. The second line shows how blessed is the person who keeps the law—in other words, having restraint. The first line illustrated the importance of vision, while the second line expressed the importance of the law. </p><p>Furthermore, the writer made a connection between vision and the law. The two are related. Thus, one should not speak of a vision that is unrelated to the keeping of the Covenant. The proverb made a clear contrast between no vision and the law. It also contrasted with people who have no restraint and the happy person who keeps the law. The writer showed how the second line is like the first line by using contrast.</p><p>Sermon Notes: https://www.gcfnaga.com/core-values-part-10-english?fbclid=IwAR3_bujZTEKe_HiqfI89GWombqkIFxyF1eHgXCukTUcF11DnP57hvADvW6g</p>
