Proverbs 8:1-5
11Listen! Wisdom is calling out. She wants you to understand what is right, so she speaks in a loud voice.
2She stands where people will hear her, on the hills along the road. She stands where different paths meet.
3She stands near the gates where people go into the city. This is what she says:
4‘I call out to all of you, wherever you live on earth.
5You who are silly, learn to be wise! You who are fools, learn to understand what is right.
Notes
- 1. Proverbs 8:1 This is the second part of Solomon's lesson. The woman who is called ‘Wisdom’ wants us to listen to her. We should not listen to the adulteress (Chapter 7). If we follow her, we are on the road to death. Instead we should listen to Wisdom, so that we enjoy a good life. ↩
