The Value of Greek to Preachers and/or Teachers.
1. Without some knowledge of Hebrew and Greek, you cannot understand the critical commentaries on the Scriptures, and a commentary that is not critical is of doubtful value.
2. Without some knowledge of Hebrew and Greek, you cannot satisfy yourself or those who look to you for help as to the changes, which you find in the Revised Old and New Testament.
3. Without some knowledge of Hebrew and Greek, you cannot appreciate the critical discussion, now so frequent, relating to the books of the OT and NT.
4. Without some knowledge of Hebrew and Greek, you cannot be certain, in a single instance, that in your sermon or teaching based on a Scripture text, you are presenting the correct teaching of the text.
5. Without some knowledge of the Hebrew and Greek, you cannot be independent student, or a reliable interpreter of the word of God.
6. As much as knowledge of Hebrew and Greek can be secured, with the same method, under the same circumstances, by the pupil, in one year, with the aid of interlinear Old Testament, as can be gained of Latin in three years. Greek, though somewhat more difficult, may be readily acquired within a brief period with the aid of the Interlinear New Testament (which contains Lexicon) and an elementary Greek grammar.
7. The Hebrew language has, in all about 7,000 words, and of these 1,000 occur in the OT over 25 times each.
8. The Hebrew grammar has but one form for the Relative pronoun in all cases, numbers and genders; but three forms for the Demonstrative Pronoun. The possible verbal forms are about 300 as compared with the 1,200 found in Greek. It has practically no declension.
9. Within ten years the average man wastes more time in fruitless reading and indifferent talk, than would be used in acquiring a good working knowledge of Hebrew and Greek that in turn would impart to his teaching that quality of independence and of reliability which so greatly enhances one’s power as a teacher.
10. There is one minister in ten who might not if he but would, find time and opportunity for such study of Hebrew and Greek as would enable him to make a thoroughly practical use of it in his work as a Bible-preacher and Bible-teacher.

Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last;
but a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised.

Proverbs 8:1-2 (ANIV)
Wisdom’s call
1 Does not wisdom call out?
Does not understanding raise her voice?
2 On the heights along the way,
where the paths meet, she takes her stand;
DRAWING NOTES:
TIME OF DAY:
Not specified in the Bible. I have set this scene in the morning.
LIGHTING NOTES:
Sunlight (above and to the left) casts shadows to the right of figures and objects.
CHARACTERS PRESENT:
Lady Wisdom is standing on an orange-brown rock, calling out to the people below her.
Various people walking.
RESEARCH/ADDITIONAL NOTES:
When king Solomon (among others) wrote the book of Proverbs he personified various characters in it. Wisdom is characterised as a woman. In the scene above she is standing on a rock, overlooking two pathways that meet and lead towards a town. On the rock Lady Wisdom calls to people, offering her wisdom to anyone who would like it.
I enjoyed drawing the river and waterfall, with the stepping stones leading across it. I haven’t drawn a lot of Bible Cartoons with rivers or water in, so this is a lovely departure for me from that perspective!
Notice the cave in the rock cliff of the background. I found photograph reference on the internet for the Banias falls, in the Golan heights of Israel, which this scene is based on.

Direct your children onto the right path,
and when they are older, they will not leave it.

Chapter 20
1 Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.
2 The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion: whoso provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own soul.
3 It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.
4 The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing.
5 Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out.
6 Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?
7 The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.
8 A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with his eyes.
9 Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?
10 Divers weights, and divers measures, both of them are alike abomination to the LORD.
11 Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right.
12 The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the LORD hath made even both of them.
13 Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.
14 It is naught, it is naught, saith the buyer: but when he is gone his way, then he boasteth.
15 There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.
16 Take his garment that is surety for a stranger: and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
17 Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.
18 Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.
19 He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.
20 Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness.
21 An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning; but the end thereof shall not be blessed.
22 Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on the LORD, and he shall save thee.
23 Divers weights are an abomination unto the LORD; and a false balance is not good.
24 Man's goings are of the LORD; how can a man then understand his own way?
25 It is a snare to the man who devoureth that which is holy, and after vows to make enquiry.
26 A wise king scattereth the wicked, and bringeth the wheel over them.
27 The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.
28 Mercy and truth preserve the king: and his throne is upholden by mercy.
29 The glory of young men is their strength: and the beauty of old men is the grey head.
30 The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the inward parts of the belly.
