1 Kings 4:32

He concluded that book by writing that man's duty and goal in life was to fear God and keep His commandments, for eternal judgment is inevitable and sure to those who don't.
The word Proverb is of Latin origin, literally meaning "for a word, speech, or conversation". The Hebrew word for "proverb" (mashal) means a "comparison."
Many suppose it was used, because the form or matter of the proverb, or both, involved the idea of comparison.
