Mishlei 25:1-2 - Kavod Elohim vs. Kavod Melachim (Part 2)

גַּם אֵלֶּה מִשְׁלֵי שְׁלֹמֹה אֲשֶׁר הֶעְתִּיקוּ אַנְשֵׁי חִזְקִיָּה מֶלֶךְ יְהוּדָה:
כְּבֹד אֱלֹהִים הַסְתֵּר דָּבָר וּכְבֹד מְלָכִים חֲקֹר דָּבָר:

Length: 45 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (9/26/25), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we continued learning the first two pesukim of Mishlei Chapter 25 after a few days off. After reviewing and refining what we came up with last time, we focused on Malbim and Rashi (!), who take this pasuk to be about metaphysics and other areas of Torah that ought to be concealed. We spent the rest of shiur developing these ideas, recruiting other non-Mishlei commentators like the Rambam and Ramban. It'll be interesting to see how "Mishleic" in their subject matter the pesukim in Chapter 25+ feel going forward. Either way, I'm sure the ideas will be good!

Rabbi Matt Schneeweiss hosts The Mishlei Podcast, a series of classes dedicated to a deep and practical exploration of Sefer Mishlei, known in English as the Book of Proverbs. This isn't a theoretical lecture series; instead, the rabbi grounds the ancient wisdom in a framework articulated by the sage Saadia Gaon, treating the text as a timeless manual for making smarter choices. The central idea is that Mishlei offers a path toward increasing lasting fulfillment and reducing future regret, making its lessons immediately relevant to daily decisions and relationships. Each episode, or shiur, usually concentrates on unpacking a single verse, examining its language, context, and layers of meaning. Listeners will find a thoughtful, step-by-step analysis that connects the biblical text to contemporary challenges in work, character development, and personal growth. The pace is deliberate, allowing space for reflection on how these principles apply off the page. For anyone interested in Jewish thought, self-improvement, or simply gaining a more thoughtful approach to life's complexities, this podcast provides a structured yet accessible guide. You'll hear a teacher's passion for the material without pretense, focusing on clarity and real-world application. Tune in for a quiet, intellectual engagement with one of the world's most enduring collections of wisdom literature.
