The Book of Proverbs presents four texts where the tree of life metaphor appears: 3:18; 11:30; 13:12; 15:4. They obviously allude to the heavenly tree, which – according to the description in Genesis – stood in the middle of the Garden of Eden. The motif is also present in tales and beliefs of ancient Near East cultures (Mesopotamia, Egypt, Canaan), which somehow affected its biblical use. The pre-sence of this metaphor in the Book of Proverbs indicates that regaining life that had been lost in the Garden of Eden was identified with gaining the divine gi= of wisdom. The tree of life, i.e. a gi= of a blessed life, means following the paths of wisdom in all its aspects: speech, desires, acts and relationships

The article presents the Book of Proverb’s teachings concerning work and laziness. The analysis is based on the pericope of Prov. 6:6-11 which focuses on the juxtaposition of human sloth and animals’ industriousness. The text shows human work in its extremes and expresses the author’s most significant ideas concerning the aspect analyzed here. The article begins with the synthesis of what the didactic books of the Old Testament teach about work, with particular emphasis on the Book of Proverbs. The article then offers an exegetical analysis of the selected pericope, including the Greek text of Prov. 6:8a-c, where the book’s translator mentions another model of diligence alongside the ant, namely the bee. Prov. 26:13-16 is also referred to here, for the text plays a significant role in completing the picture of lazy man.
