“To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings. the interpretation: or, an eloquent speech”
Proverbs 1:6 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 1:6
Understanding proverbs (mashal - comparisons, parables), dark sayings (chidah - riddles, enigmas), and wise men's words requires interpretive skill. This verse acknowledges that wisdom literature demands careful study, not casual reading. The 'dark sayings' aren't deliberately obscure but express profound truth through figurative language requiring meditation and Spirit-illumination. Reformed hermeneutics values both Scripture's perspicuity in essential matters and its depths requiring diligent study.
