WISDOM builds her house, but FOLLY with HER HANDS tears it down. (Proverbs 14:1).
WISDOM cries aloud in the street; in the markets SHE raises her voice; on the top of the walls SHE cries out; at the entrance of the city gates SHE speaks: "How long, O simple ones, will you love being simple? How long will scoffers delight in their scoffing and fools hate knowledge?"
Give heed to my reproof; behold, I will pour out my thoughts to you; I will make my words known to you. Because I have called and you refused to listen, have stretched out my hand and no one has heeded, and you have ignored all my counsel and would have none of my reproof.
I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when panic strikes you like a storm, and your calamity comes like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you. (Proverbs 1:20-27).
Then they will call upon me but I will not answer; they will seek me diligently but will not find me.
Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the FEAR OF THE LORD, would have none of my counsel, and despised all my reproof. Therefore they shall eat the fruit of their way and be sated with their own devices.
For the simple are killed by their turning away, and the complacence of fools destroys them; but he who listen to me will dwell secure and will be at ease, without dread of evil. (Proverbs 1:28-33).
By WISDOM a house is built, and by understanding it is established; by knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches.(Proverbs 24:3-4).
A wise man is mightier than a strong man, and a man of knowledge than he who has strength; for by the wise guidance you can wage your war, and in abundance of counsellors there is victory.
(Proverbs 24:5-6).
If you say, "Behold, we did not know this," does not HE who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not HE who keeps watch over your soul know it, and will HE not require man according to his work?
(Proverb 24:12).
My son, eat honey, for it is good, and the drippings of the honeycomb are sweet to your taste.
Know that WISDOM is such to your soul; if you find it, there will be a future, and your hope will not cut off. (Proverbs 24:13-14).
