DE >>> Why would people read it over and over, as so often they do?

Several reasons, but, for me, to pick up what I missed the first, second, third ... time around.

Re: “Thank you for posting that, DE. A lpt of Truth in there.”You're very welcome. I posted it so that micro would see that I was taking his suggestion seriously.

I finished reading the first half and didn't get anything of value from it except that now, if someone tells me to read the Bible, I can respond that I've read Proverbs. When they tell me I'll get a lot out of reading it, I can respond, "No, it wasn't of value to me."

You've obviously read Proverbs before. Why would people read it over and over, as so often they do?
