ALL SCRIPTURE (including Psalms and Proverbs) is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness"

Slightly off the subject:  

Certainly, all scripture is given by inspiration, but not all scripture  contains divine truth.  Truth and revelation are two different things , as I see it.   There seems to be at least three sources of information in the biblical message, God, man and the evil one (Satan).  Sometimes , this is important to note.  . 

Back to the subject  --- I am not so sure that "what the scripture says is what the scripture says" is a plausible consideration if that means we're are not to consider context (textual and historical/cultural), ancient language syntax with its locations and conjugations and the like.   There are many considerations for those who read an ancient text translated into another language.God's promise of divine help (I Co 2) is not a promise of divine inspiration, rather it is a promise of providential assistance ----- or God would have need to help one person one time and that would be the end of the matter.  The way I understand biblical interpretation (I Co 2) in the light of "truth" is this  --   that God can take a single passage of scripture,  a single sentence or thought, and teach  a thousand lessons!   I think that is the test of divinity as claimed in the Message.....and it is truly remarkable.   While we are all looking for the  (single) truth, God is teaching the entire encampment and doing so one person at a time.  Each grows at a different rate, each has a different need, and God satisfies all that diversity often with a single statement.  That's pretty neat.
