Volume 5 
Immerse: Poets is the fifth of six volumes of the Immerse: The Bible Reading Experience. Poets presents the poetical books of the First Testament in two groupings, dividing the books between songbooks (Psalms, Lamentations, Song of Songs) and wisdom writings (Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Job). These writings all reflect the daily, down-to-earth faith of God’s people as they live out their covenant relationship with him in worship and wise living.

4 Questions to get your conversations started:
1. What stood out to you this week?
2. Was there anything confusing or troubling?
3. Did anything make you think differently about God?
4. How might this change the way we live?

QUICK START GUIDE
3 ways to get the most out of your experience
  1. Use Immerse: Beginnings instead of your regular chapter and verse Bible. This special reader’s edition restores the Bible to its natural simplicity and beauty by removing chapter and verse numbers and other historical additions. Letters look like letters, songs look like songs, and the original literary structures are visible in each book.
  2. Commit to making this a community experience. Immerse is designed for groups to encounter large portions of the Bible together
    for 8 weeks–more like a book club, less like a Bible study. By meeting every week in small groups and discussing what you read in open,
    honest conversations, you and your community can come together to be transformed through an authentic experience with the Scriptures.
  3. Aim to understand the big story. Read through “The Stories and the Story” (p. 483) to see how the books of the Bible work together to tell God’s story of his creation’s restoration. As you read through Immerse: Beginnings, rather than ask, “How do I fit God into my busy life?” begin asking, “How can I join in God’s great plan by living out my part in his story?”

Love prospers when a fault
is forgiven, but dwelling on

person of understanding than a

hundred lashes on the back of a fool.

Evil people are eager for rebellion,
but they will be severely punished.

It is safer to meet a bear robbed
of her cubs than to confront

a fool caught in foolishness.

If you repay good with evil,
evil will never leave your house.

Starting a quarrel is like
opening a floodgate, so stop

before a dispute breaks out.

Acquit the guilty and
condemning the innocent.

Both are detestable to the Lord.

It is senseless to pay to educate a fool.

Since he has no heart for learning.

A friend is always loyal and a brother
is born to help in time of need.

It's poor judgment to guarantee
another person's debt or put

up security for a friend.

Anyone who loves to quarrel loves sin.

Anyone who trusts in high
walls invites disaster.

The crooked heart will not prosper.

The lying tongue tumbles into trouble.

It is painful to be the parent of a fool.

There is no joy for the father of a rebel.

A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a
broken spirit SAPs a person's strength.

The wicked takes secret bribes
to pervert the course of justice.

Sensible people keep their eyes
glued on wisdom, but a fool's eyes

wander to the ends of the earth.

Foolish children bring grief
to their father and bitterness

to the one who gave them birth.

It is wrong to punish the Godly for being
good or to flog leaders for being honest.

A truly wise person uses
few words, a person with

understanding is even tempered.
