The proverbs helps us to attain "wisdom and discipline"
"For understanding words of insight" and avoiding sin
For acquiring a disciplined life without need of repair
"Doing what is right and just and fair"
Verse four continues "for giving prudence" to the fool
"Knowledge and discretion" to those in school
"Let the wise listen and add to their learning"
And guidance give to the discerning
For understanding the parables' guise,
And "the sayings and riddles of the wise"
"The beginning of knowledge" is "the fear of the Lord"
"But fools despise wisdom and discipline" of the Word.
Proverbs is such an intersting book
Every day I should be taking a look
Thanks to God, Solomon was very wise
(Unfortunately he also had lustful eyes)
But if his words we do read
And his warnings we do heed
Then we will live a better life
And the world would have much less strife
