Pendants for your neck...

I started reading the Book of Proverbs again every morning, obviously to gain much-needed wisdom in life. I am also reading a book for better understanding on Proverbs: "The Richest Man Who Ever Lived: King Solomon's Secrets to Success, Wealth, and Happiness" by Steven K. Scott. I've had this book and read it before, but never as a study guide-type book.

 

All of that to say, I've come across several jewelry references in The Word. As I find them, I get excited. And when I get excited about jewelry, I share. (I am completely aware that King Solomon was not writing about jewelry in Proverbs; I know he wasn't a "jewelry blogger." He simply gives analogies for better understanding. I just find it useful and fun for refreshing posts). 

 ⁸ Hear, my son, father's instruction, and forsake not your mother's teaching,

⁹ for they are a graceful garland for your head
and pendants for your neck.
Proverbs 1:8-9

When Scripture uses the word "pendant", I get the analogy a little bit better for some reason!
