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

This study examines parenting patterns and their relationship to children's socio-emotional development through an expository analysis of Proverbs 4:1–27. The Book of Proverbs offers wisdom principles relevant to shaping a child's character, morality, and emotional stability, emphasizing the role of parents as primary educators. The research method used is biblical exposition with a qualitative approach through literature study and textual analysis. The findings reveal that parental education includes loving discipline, consistent life example, constructive communication, and the instillation of moral and spiritual values. Balanced discipline supports healthy emotional regulation in children, while parental example provides a tangible model of wise behavior. Effective communication fosters a sense of security and openness. This study affirms that wisdom-based education, as taught in Proverbs 4:1–27, serves as a practical guide for Christian parents in holistic child-rearing and contributes to the development of practical theology and Christian education.

Abstract

Based on the literature review, there are two groups of scholars discussing Proverbs 25:21-22: the group that links the writing of this verse to Jesus' teachings on love and forgiveness, and the group that focuses only on the teachings of Paul, who quoted this verse as an exhortation to the Romans to do good to their enemies and that there is a reward for every good deed. The research attempts to examine to analyze the meaning of the phrase "heaping coals of fire" and its implications for character development. The research used a qualitative method with sub-interpretive design, specifically, wisdom literature hermeneutics. This study found three related implementations of this phrase to character building, namely: first, deciding to do the right thing; second, overcoming ego and hatred; third, deciding to live an exemplary life. The results of this study are very important in character building so that believers can apply the values of truth in life and lead exemplary lives, and provide understanding in the development of wisdom literature research. AbstrakAda dua kelompok penelitian dalam pembahasan Amsal 25:21-22 yakni, pertama, kelompok yang menghubungkan tulisan Amsal ini dengan ajaran Yesus mengenai kasih dan kedua, kelompok yang hanya terfokus kepada ajaran Paulus, yang mengutip Amsal ini, sebagai nasihat kepada jemaat Roma, untuk berbuat baik kepada kepada musuh-musuhnya dan ada upah bagi setiap perbuatan baik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis makna frasa “menimbun bara api” serta implikasinya terhadap pembentukan karakter. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan metode kualitatif dengan sub interpretative design khususnya hermeneutika sastra hikmat. Penelitian ini menemukan tiga implementasi yang berkaitan dari frasa ini terhadap pembentukan karakter, yakni: pertama, memutuskan berbuat benar; kedua, mengatasi ego dan kebencian; ketiga, memilih hidup menjadi teladan. Hasil penelitian ini sangat penting dalam sebuah pembentukan karakter agar orang percaya dapat menerapkan nilai-nilai kebenaran dalam hidup dan hidup menjadi teladan serta memberikan pemahaman dalam perkembangan penelitian sastra hikmat.

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 31:26 is part of the acrostic poem describing the 'ēšet ḥayil (woman of noble character) and employs a chiastic pattern (A–B–B'–A'). Although this verse has been widely studied from the perspectives of the wise woman, gender, and character formation, limited attention has been given to the rhetorical function of its chiastic structure as a basis for interpretation. This study analyzes the chiastic structure of Proverbs 31:26 and places it in dialogue with the psychological concept of cognitive ability. This qualitative research uses a wisdom-literature hermeneutical approach and employs literal, lexical, and structural analyses of the text. The findings demonstrate that the chiastic structure positions ḥokmâ (wisdom) and tôrath-ḥesed (instruction grounded in steadfast love) as the semantic center of the verse. Three principal implications emerge from this analysis: (1) wisdom reflects the reasoning process that precedes speech; (2) the integration of ḥokmâ and ḥesed indicates that effective communication combines sound reasoning with ethical orientation; and (3) wise communication serves a pedagogical function by transmitting moral values within the community. This study argues that cognitive ability should not be understood as equivalent to biblical wisdom but rather as a dialogical framework for explaining how wisdom is expressed through reasoning and communication within the wisdom tradition.

Abstract

Fenomena pembalikan moral dan relativisme berkembang pesat dan menciptakan ambiguitas, di mana batas-batas antara benar dan salah menjadi kabur. Beberapa penelitian telah berfokus pada arti kata celaka, struktur teks, dan tanggapan terhadap situasi politik, tetapi belum secara khusus mengeksplorasi dampak teologis dan sosial dari pembalikan moral dan relativisme. Fenomena ini telah tercermin dalam teks Yesaya 5:20 dan telah mengambil bentuk baru dalam budaya modern. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji makna pembalikan moral dalam teks Yesaya 5:20 dan hubungannya dengan relativisme moral, yang memiliki implikasi serius bagi etika sosial dan budaya, dan menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan hermeneutik profetik dari penafsiran teks, analisis sejarah, dan analisis sastra.  Temuan ini mengungkapkan bahwa pembalikan moral menciptakan dilema etika, konflik internal, dan relativisme moral semakin mendominasi, sehingga mengaburkan batas antara benar dan salah. Dengan demikian, pendidikan etika yang kuat diperlukan untuk memperkuat landasan moral dalam perilaku sosial, hukum, dan interaksi antar individu. Artikel ini diharapkan dapat memberikan solusi holistik untuk mengatasi kebingungan moral, menjunjung tinggi nilai kebenaran, dan membangun komitmen umat beriman yang memiliki filter moral, di tengah dilema relativisme moral di era posmodern.
