Abstract
- The article explores the contents of Proverbs 23,15–28 on the basis of its literary unity in order to discover the two principles of wisdom recommended by a father to his son: the fear of YHWH and listening-obedience to his father/mother. Since the passage selected had never been considered as a whole, the author first had to justify its literary unity to give a solid foundation to the exegetical-theological reflections which follow. The analysis of the instructions of the parental discourse in reference to their mutual relationship reveals the constant emphasis on the fear of YHWH and filial obedience, as a double focus of the wisdom literature of Prov 23,15–28. Each of the two elements mentioned, as well as wisdom itself, are presented in the light of their sapiential, ethical and religious dimensions by comparing parallel passages of biblical Wisdom Tradition, especially with other parental discourses in Proverbs and the context of the Third Collection (Prov 22,17–24,22). Such an examination of Prov 23,15–28 has made it possible to confirm the emphasis of Proverbs on the importance of listening to parental teaching, along with fearing God, in order to be wise. A new saying might be coined similar to the well-know one on the fear of YHWH: The beginning of wisdom is to listen to one's father/mother. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
