Abstract

This phrase "strange woman" appears several times in the Book of Proverbs and is problematic. Some translate it as a seductress, a bitch, a woman who has an affair, and as a wicked woman. Interestingly, all these interpretations of the phrase have negative connotations in the context. If so, why is this phrase always associated with negativity? What is the true meaning of this phrase? There seems to be a research gap in discussing this phrase, which is the main reason for the author to provide a specific and comprehensive interpretation of the phrase "foreign woman" and its implications for women today. Based on the qualitative method with sub interpretative design, especially wisdom literature hermeneutics, this study found that, there are five important meanings that explain the phrase "strange woman," namely, a woman who is unfaithful to the covenant with God, a woman who does not honor marriage, a harlot, a seductress, and a wicked woman. The implication of this study is a reference and warning for women to build the right character and become wise women so that they can be exemplary as good mothers and wives.

Abstract

Abstract: Research on reputation building indicates that an individual's reputation relies on the combination of integrity with their social surroundings, viewing reputation through the lens of social interactions of that person. Additionally, reputation formation is observed in how an individual prioritizes integrity, even when faced with challenging social conditions; reputation is shaped by the social visibility of one's past actions. Nonetheless, this study highlights that reputation goes beyond mere verbal communication and social engagement—it undeniably incorporates the physical aspect. This article explores the idea of building a reputation through embodiment, illustrating the significant role the body plays in shaping a person’s reputation, examined through Proverbs 12:23. The research employs a literary analysis framework focused on the wisdom derived from Proverbs 12:23, utilizing figurative interpretation as a means of analysis. Various types accompany the interpretation in extracting the gist of Proverbs 12:23—related to embodiment for repute in non-verbal communication. Findings reveal that embodiment significantly influences one's societal reputation, integrity, and past conduct. The terms “cover” and “proclaim” suggest verbal expression and can be deduced from physical gestures. Therefore, verbal communication is seen as enhanced and substantiated by embodiment, significantly governing an individual's reputation.

Abstract

Abstract: Proverbs is a book which contains wisdom and is a very important book in the Old Testament besides the other books of wisdom. An important piece of wisdom in Proverbs 6:1-5 is the practical advice regarding an inexperienced person becoming a guarantor for others, thereby exposing himself to risks such as financial ruin, poverty or even debt. This research uses qualitative terms such as: analysis from the perspective of biblical theology, exegesis with an interpretative approach (interpretative design), specifically thematic study, in order to explore and obtain the meaning of words and the implementation of the phrases "fellow insurer", "agreement", "entangled and caught", "words of mouth", "escape" in a financial dispute. This article presents new insight on the concept of insurers, such as: Firstly, the concept of insuring is a risky concept for someone who becomes an insurer because an insurer will be under the power of the debtor. Secondly, liability is a form of insuring because it is a taking on of obligation and not a physical standing-in. Thirdly, the concept of insuring must pay attention to the factors of agreement and the competence of the parties to the agreement. Fourthly, an insuring agreement must provide a financial dispute resolution option, so that the parties can make a new agreement. Insurances that have occurred can be canceled with an agreement mechanism where the lender and the recipient of the loan release their rights and obligations.Abstrak: Amsal merupakan kitab hikmat sangat penting di dalam Perjanjian Lama selain kitab-kitab hikmat lainnya. Hikmat penting dalam Amsal 6:1-5 adalah pengaturan praktik menanggung utang sesama oleh seseorang yang tidak berpengalaman, sehingga kemudian membawa risiko bagi dirinya seperti kehancuran finansial, kemiskinan atau bahkan perbudakan utang. Penelitian ini menggunakan kaidah kualitatif yang meliputi: pengkajian dari sudut pandang teoligi biblika, eksegesis dengan pendekatan interpretative (interpretative design) khususnya studi tematik, sehingga pada akhirnya dapat menggali dan memperoleh makna kata serta implementasi frasa “penanggung sesama”, “persetujuan”, “terjerat dan tertangkap”, “perkataan mulut”, “lepaskan diri” dalam suatu sengketa finansial. Artikel ini memberi pemahaman yang baru mengenai konsepsi penanggungan, yaitu: pertama, konsepsi penanggungan merupakan suatu konsep yang beresiko bagi seseorang yang menjadi penanggung karena seorang penanggung akan berada dibawah kuasa dari pemberi hutang. Kedua, kewajiban merupakan wujud dari penanggungan karena dalam konsepsi ini yang terjadi adalah substitusi pihak yang melakukan kewajiban bukan penanggungan badan (fisik). Ketiga, konsepsi penanggungan harus memperhatikan faktor kesepakatan dan kecakapan para pihak dalam melakukan persetujuan. Kempat, dalam suatu persetujuan penanggungan harus menyediakan opsi penyelesaian sengketa keuangan, sehingga para pihak dapat melakukan persetujuan baru. Penanggungan yang telah terjadi dapat dibatalkan dengan mekanisme kesepakatan di mana pihak pemberi dan penerima pinjaman melepaskan hak dan kewajiban mereka.

Abstract

The book Proverbs and the Formation of Character by Dave Bland highlights how the book of Proverbs shapes moral character through practical and relational wisdom. Bland focuses on the often-overlooked section of sentence literature (Proverbs 10–29) and shows that the book of Proverbs has the power to shape virtues such as justice and self-control. With an interdisciplinary approach, he brings together theology, ethics, homiletics, and psychology to show the relevance of Proverbs in modern life. Wisdom in Proverbs is described as the result of a relationship with God and community, and is obtained through dialogue and life experience. Therefore, Dave Bland's critical insight into the character formation of the book of Proverbs in this book is not only oriented toward a dimension of moral rules, but also a process of character growth that takes place through learning adaptation, correction, and openness to guidance from family with community.

Abstract

This research examines one of God's attributes, namely the divine faithfulness, through the analogy of a mother's faithfulness to her child in Isaiah 49:14-15. Previous research by Greene tended to focus solely on the feminine imagery of Yahweh as a conceptual metaphor, whereas this text actually contains a more complex analogy. The method used is thematic analysis within the scope of systematic theology, following biblical exegetical interpretation steps including analysis of the salvation prophecy genre and specific analysis of the analogy. The research findings reveal that God's attribute of faithfulness encompasses three aspects: covenant, intimacy, and transcendence. These aspects complement each other in explaining God's faithfulness within His salvation plan for His people, thus providing a biblical theological foundation for building the spirituality of believers.

Abstract

Kitab Amsal banyak mengungkapkan suatu paralelisme antara topik dari satu ayat kepada ayat lainnya pada lingkup kumpulan-kumpulan Amsal 10-29. Tidak terkecuali paralelisme antara Amsal 10:15 dan 18:11 yang membahas tentang gambaran “kota yang kuat” pada konteks kekayaan dan kemiskinan. Sejauh ini para penafsir telah menemukan bahwa interpretasi paralelisme Amsal 10:15 dan 18:11 berfokus pada interpretasi teologis, pengalaman individu, persepsi budaya, respon emosional, pola penalaran, tetapi tidak berintegrasi kepada unsur-unsur pembentukan karakter. Oleh sebab itu, dengan penggunaan metode kualitiatif dengan sub interpretative design sastra hikmat yang secara khusus mengamati terjemahan teks, strktur paralelisme dan gaya bahasa kiasan, penelitian ini menemukan bahwa gambaran “kota yang kuat” dalam Amsal 10:15 dan 18:11 dapat diintegrasikan pada unsur-unsur pembentukan karakter yaitu evaluasi karakter, konsistensi pada perilaku hikmat dan pengambilan keputusan. Kontribusi riset ini dapat memberikan suatu hubungan bijak dan etika sosial antara orang kaya dan orang miskin sebagai suatu peradaban etis dalam lingkungan komunitas masyarakat.

Abstract

Principles can be defined as principles, truths that become the basis for thinking, acting, and behaving. Today's young generation also has principles that they hold as a reference in life, one of which is the principle of YOLO which can be defined differently from one another. The problem is that the different understanding of the YOLO principle creates contradictions so that two people with the same principle can have very contradictory ways and achievements in life between the positive and negative sides. Misperceptions in understanding the YOLO principle can affect the moral depravity, mindset, and lifestyle of the younger generation. Therefore, by using a qualitative method with a literal study approach, the researcher will conduct research to find how the YOLO life principle is theologically linked to the book of Ecclesiastes 11: 9-10. At the end of the research, it is found that the YOLO life principle does not contradict the truth of God's word if it is accompanied by accountability to God.

Abstract

This article employs a thematic analysis of Ecclesiastes 1:2–11 to elucidate the theological function of the phrase hebel as the conceptual framework of the book. A review of the extant literature reveals a general tendency among previous studies to emphasize the theme of the meaning of life in a broad sense or the book as a whole. Consequently, the prologue section has rarely been examined through thematic exegesis. Furthermore, previous studies have emphasized lexical analysis of hebel without relating it to the thematic structure of verses 2–11, so that the relationship between the verses and their contribution to the book's theological creed has not been fully explored. The passage is divided into five units by the study: hebel as a creed (verse 2), the limitations of human endeavor (verse 3), the cycle of the cosmos and transience (verses 4–7), existential weariness (verses 8–10), and historical oblivion (verse 11). The findings of the analysis demonstrate a progressive argument that affirms human limitations while criticizing empty optimism in life. This study makes a significant contribution to the field of wisdom theology by affirming that the passage under scrutiny serves to fortify the book's confrontational theological foundation. Moreover, it calls upon readers to adopt a God-centered orientation in life.

Abstract

Proverbs 31, functioning as the epilogue of the book, carries a significant instructional dimension, particularly in shaping character. The portrayal of the wise woman (eshet hayil) serves as a concrete example of how a person of wisdom embodies quality character traits. A review of existing literature indicates a research gap: most studies have emphasized ethical values, idealized female morality, or general themes of wisdom literature, yet have not sufficiently examined its didactic dimension. Utilizing a hermeneutical approach appropriate to the wisdom literature sub-genre, this research identifies four pedagogical elements that contribute to character formation: (1) exemplifying and modeling (vv. 15a, 16, 18, 19); (2) providing instruction (v. 15b); (3) imparting teaching and counsel (v. 26); and (4) exercising supervision and evaluation (v. 27). The findings of this study offer a valuable contribution to the process of personal maturation and the cultivation of virtuous character.   Amsal 31 sebagai epilog memiliki unsur didaktik yang sangat kuat, khususnya dalam pembentukan karakter. Narasi ini menyajikan perwujudan kehidupan wanita bijak (eshet hayil) dalam bahasa hikmat sebagai panduan untuk membentuk karakter yang berkualitas. Dalam penelusuran literatur, terdapat kesenjangan penelitian yang terfokus hanya kepada kajian nilai etika, moralitas perempuan ideal, atau aspek literatur hikmat, sementara tidak terlalu mengeksplorasi bagian didaktik ini. Dengan pendekatan hermeneutik yang sesuai dengan subgenre sastra hikmat, maka empat unsur didaktik sebagai pembentuk karakter, adalah pertama, menjadi contoh dan teladan (Ay. 15a, 16, 18, 19), kedua, memberi petunjuk atau instruksi (Ay. 15b); ketiga, memberi pelajaran dan nasihat (Ay. 26); dan keempat, melakukan pengawasan dan evaluasi (Ay. 27). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan kontribusi signifikan terhadap proses pendewasaan individu dengan menguraikan bagaimana nilai-nilai yang dikaji berperan dalam pembentukan karakter yang baik.

Abstract

Budaya flexing merupakan fenomena masa kini yang sementara berkembang di mana banyak anak muda sampai orang tua, dapat terjebak dalam trend ini. Sebagian besar perilaku flexing sangat berorientasi kepada memamerkan kekayaan secara berlebihan, bahkan ada orang yang sengaja membuat pencitraan agar terlihat kaya. Menariknya Amsal 11:28 secara jelas telah menulis tentang karakter yang mempercayakan diri kepada kekayaan akan berakibat kepada konsekuensi yang dialami, yakni mengalami kejatuhan. Pola karakter-konsekuensi merupakan pola struktur yang ada di dalam kitab Amsal yang memperhatikan adanya karakter yang dilakukan sehingga menghasilkan konsekuensi yang diterima. Belum ada penelitian yang membahas secara khusus tentang hal ini. Karena itulah, artikel ini akan membahas tentang bagaimana menghadapi gempuran budaya flexing berdasarkan peringatan Firman Tuhan lewat analisa pola perkataan karakter-konsekuensi dalam Amsal 11:28 dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan sub interpretative design khususnya hermeneutika sastra hikmat. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa pertama, mempercayakan diri kepada kekayaan adalah hal yang bodoh dan membawa kepada kejatuhan; kedua, kekayaan tidak bisa menjamin keberlangsungan hidup seseorang tetap baik dan tenteram; dan ketiga, menjadi orang benar (menaruh kepercayaan hanya kepada Tuhan) adalah kunci dari keberhasilan dan kesuksesan. Hasil penelitian ini menjadi peringatan bagi siapa saja yang mau hidup dalam budaya flexing sehingga terhindar dari kejatuhan. The flexing culture is a growing contemporary phenomenon where many young and old people can get caught up in this trend. Most flexing behaviors are very much oriented towards excessive flaunting of wealth, and some people even deliberately create an image to look rich. Interestingly, Proverbs 11:28 clearly states that the act of trusting in wealth will result in the consequence of experiencing a fall. The action-consequence pattern is a structural pattern in the book of Proverbs that takes into account actions based on choices and decisions that result in consequences that will be received. There is no research that specifically discusses this. Therefore, this article will discuss how to deal with the onslaught of flexing culture based on the warning of God's Word through analyzing the pattern of action-consequence words in Proverbs 11:28 using qualitative methods with sub interpretative design, especially wisdom literature hermeneutics. This study found that first, trusting in wealth is foolish and leads to downfall; second, wealth cannot guarantee that one's life will remain good and peaceful; and third, being righteous (trusting only in God) is the key to success and success. The results of this study serve as a warning to anyone who wants to live in a flexing culture so as to avoid the fall.
