Proverbs is a book of logic applied to human experiences, with particular focus on how to deal with (and not deal with) fools and evil people. Proverbs is both inspirational about what can be achieved from doing what is right, and cautionary about the failure that results from compromise with [[evil]]doers. Proverbs is particularly strong against "scoffers", observing that "Condemnation is ready for scoffers, and beating for the backs of fools."
