A biblical proverb is defined as ―a short saying that expresses a general truth for a practical and godly living.‖ The fundamental truths of life are illustrated through comparisons in the book of Proverbs
Summary
Nowadays there is a revival of interest in religion and in the Bible as an authoritative source which defines the spiritual life of a man for all eternity. This book is one of the richest and inexhaustible sources of outstanding proverbs. Various aspects of life — social experience, mental, ethical and aesthetic values, and social ideals — are manifested in biblical proverbs. They most clearly illustrate the lifestyle, history and traditions of a community united by a single religion and culture. Studying biblical proverbs in English and Armenian is remarkable on the basis of linguistic significance — as they form an integral part of the world literary heritage — and on the basis of discovering the language habits, religion and culture behind the contrasted languages
