Proverbs 12 With discipline comes knowledge if we endure it, but whoever hates correction is stupid. A wife of noble character is her husband’s crown, but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones. A person is praised according to their prudence,and one with a warped mind is despised. Its better to be a nobody and yet have a servant than pretend to be somebody and have no food. It is said over and over again, way of fools seems right to them, but the wise listen to advice. Fools show their annoyance at once, but the prudent overlook an insult. The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing. Those who promote peace have joy. No harm will overtakes the righteous, because the Lord delights in people who are trustworthy. Dont be anxious about anything as it weighs down the heart. Choose your friends carefully and remember in the way of righteousness there is life, along that path is immortality. Job 28 The Message (MSG) Where Does Wisdom Come From? We all know how silver seams the rocks, we’ve seen the stuff from which gold is refined, We’re aware of how iron is dug out of the ground and copper is smelted from rock. Miners hammer away at the rock, they uproot the mountains. They tunnel through the rock and find all kinds of beautiful gems. They discover the origins of rivers, and bring earth’s secrets to light. God alone knows the way to Wisdom, he knows the exact place to find it. He focused on Wisdom, made sure it was all set and tested and ready. Then he addressed the human race: ‘Here it is! Fear-of-the-Lord—that’s Wisdom, and Insight means shunning evil.’”(NIV: then he looked at wisdom and appraised it; he confirmed it and tested it. And he said to the human race, “The fear of the Lord—that is wisdom, and to shun evil is understanding.”)
