Proverbs 1 22 "How long, O naive ones, will you love being simple-minded? And scoffers delight themselves in scoffing And fools hate knowledge? (NAS95) If you don't have an answer for my question, please don't venture to offer such a copout response. The question is completely valid, and you've failed to apply any studious thought to your answer. Perhaps someone more informed than yourself may venture to answer my valid inquiry into the nature of the textual construction. |

Am I deceived by the devil and led astray from the gospel, because I'm concerned about whether some parts of scripture are poetry or not? "Your minds will be led astray from the simplicity of Christ." Sorry to offend you as well by my original question. I'm just trying to find the whole meaning of scripture. 2 Corinthians 11 3 But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ. (NAS95) |

Hi Sinner, I appreciate your interest in knowing the minds of the translators, and how they approach scripture. Since translation neccessitates interpretation, it is important to know their mindset. In Hebrew poetry, (and perhaps someone who is actually a Hebrew scholar would be so kind as to correct me if I am wrong), instead of using meter and rhyme as we do, uses comparison and contrast. As the translators examine the text, they spot the characturistic forms of Hebrew poetry, and parse it accordingly so we may more readily recognize it. When you read Hebrew poetry, look for the initial statement, then match to it the following comparisons and contrasts. Then look for the next beginning statement, and it's comparisons and contrasts. A simple, made up example, would be: The righteous are in the LORD's keeping, He holds them in His hand. The righteous are the LORD's forever, The wicked will go down to the pit. I hope this helps! Love in Christ, Mark |

Mark: That's very insightful, and represents a very intriging type of biblical writing. Thank you so much. That helps quite a great deal. Comparison and contrast. Much like the proverbs. |
