Bible Commentary for Proverbs 1:1
Wesley's Notes for Proverbs 1:1
1:2 To know - Written to help men to know throughly and practically. Both human wisdom to conduct our affairs in this life, and Divine wisdom. Instruction - The instructions delivered either by God, or men, in order to the attainment of wisdom. To perceive - Which teach a man true understanding.
1:3 To receive - Willing to receive the counsels of others. Such as makes men wise and prudent, and to teach just judgments or equity.
Abel was 2nd born and God was pleased with his offering and blessed him.
Cain was indignant and disputed the event. God didn't change His mind.
Cain slew Abel. He was cursed and marked for death. Later he married and had children.
Eventually Lamech was born. By accident He slew Cain and lived long enough to survive the 70 times 7 times curse for killing Cain. He survived and later Noah would be born. Genesis 4:23
Then Eve's 3rd born son, Seth, lived 912 years.
If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech, seventy and seven fold.
Who knows IF Cain knew whoever killed him was going to suffer 70 times 7 years. That's hatred.
Cains daughter gave birth to Lamech. Cain beat up his Grandson.
Sounds like year 2020 huh?
That question has been on that page a couple of days. I did my best.
Verse 4:15-16 and 23-24
There's a similar judgment in Ezekiel 9:4-6
It's not described as a murder; it describes a fight.
