Folly

Proverbs 9

"She sits at the door of her house,
on a seat at the highest point of the city,

calling out to those who pass by,
who go straight on their way.

"Let all who are simple come in here!"
she says to those who lack judgment.

"Stolen water is sweet;
food eaten in secret is delicious!

But little do they know that the dead are there,
that her guests are in the depths of the grave"

Wisdom

Proverbs 9

"'The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom,
and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

For through me your days will be many,
and years will be added to your life.

If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you;
if you are a mocker, you alone will suffer.'"

"To fear the LORD is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech." Prov. 8:13

Seems pretty straight forward:

Evil kills. God saves.


To God be the Glory.

Wisdom

Proverbs 9

Is Wisdom of God the Holy Spirit?

The Holy Spirit is the guide from God.
Wisdom was there when with Jesus and God when God laid the foundation of the earth.

"Wisdom has built her house;
she has hewn out its seven pillars.

She has prepared her meat and mixed her wine;
she has also set her table.

She has sent out her maids, and she calls
from the highest point of the city.

"Let all who are simple come in here!"
she says to those who lack judgment.

"Come, eat my food
and drink the wine I have mixed.

Leave your simple ways and you will live;
walk in the way of understanding. "


Find Wisdom and you will live.
Eat, feast on wisdom and walk in the way of understanding.

To God be the Glory.

The Counselor

Proverbs 8

"Counsel and sound judgment are mine;
I have understanding and power."

Wisdom is the Counselor.
Wisdom is the Judge.
Wisdom contains understanding and power.

With understanding the earth was planned.
With it's power, it was built.
With wisdom, life is born.
With wisdom, life is sustained.

Blessed are those who yearns for it.
Blessed are those who finds it.
Blessed are those who keeps it.

Choose God's wisdom and God chooses you.

To God be the Glory.

Fear the Lord

Proverbs 8

"To fear the LORD is to hate evil;
I hate pride and arrogance,
evil behavior and perverse speech. "

" The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate."

Froward: adj.
Stubbornly contrary and disobedient; obstinate

Fearing the LORD is to hate evil, pride and arrogance, disobedience.
If I do not hate evil, and the like in myself, than I need to rethink and re-align.

T0 God be the Glory.

Wisdom

Proverbs 8

"Does not wisdom call out?
Does not understanding raise her voice?

On the heights along the way,
where the paths meet, she takes her stand;

beside the gates leading into the city,
at the entrances, she cries aloud:

"To you, O men, I call out;
I raise my voice to all mankind.

You who are simple, gain prudence;
you who are foolish, gain understanding.

Listen, for I have worthy things to say;
I open my lips to speak what is right.

My mouth speaks what is true,
for my lips detest wickedness.

All the words of my mouth are just;
none of them is crooked or perverse.

To the discerning all of them are right;
they are faultless to those who have knowledge.

Choose my instruction instead of silver,
knowledge rather than choice gold,

for wisdom is more precious than rubies,
and nothing you desire can compare with her."


Get some Sisdom. Need some Wisdom. What is Wisdom?
Doing what is right according to God, and keeping them till the day he comes.


To God be the Glory.

Adulteress

Proverbs 7

Adultery again!

"...they [God's wisdom] will keep you from the adulteress,
from the wayward wife with her seductive words."

"I saw among the simple,
I noticed among the young men,
a youth who lacked judgment."

" And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding, " KJV

"All at once he followed her
like an ox going to the slaughter,
like a deer stepping into a noose

till an arrow pierces his liver,
like a bird darting into a snare,
little knowing it will cost him his life. "

Scary.
When we are "void of understanding," we are too easy of a prey.

To God be the Glory.
