Wisdom Is a Tree of Life (Prov. 3:18) : a Conceptual Metaphor

This article examines a proverbial saying WISDOM IS A TREE OF LIFE (Prov. 3:18) through the lens of conceptual metaphor. Such a metaphor works by mapping two conceptual domains. The direction goes from the SOURCE domain (an ancient myth of a miraculous that whets human's appetite for eternal youth) to the TARGET domain (a concept of wisdom in life). Conceptual metaphor helps us to understand that the tree metaphor in Prov. 3:18 instills in the readers' mind a kind of reward powerful enough to motivate them to pursue wisdom and to persevere in that quest. The boon will arouse their desire so that they will do anything. This article also suggests that the metaphor in Proverbs receives its fuller sense through Prov. 13:12; 15:4. Conceptual metaphor, thus, enables the reader to notice a holistic presentation of the book of Proverbs, which has been all to often considered as a compilation of various self-contained saying.
