Proverbs 15 is the last of antithetic comparisons and includes various proverbs that contrast the behaviour of the wise with that of the foolish. In several places this wisdom language is replaced by language that contains moral judgement: righteous versus wicked. The notion of path or way, another much-used wisdom concept, is also found. It suggests that there are only two possible courses of action, that of the wise/righteous or that of the foolish/wicked. Though wisdom classifications are generally accurate descriptions of human behaviour, we must allow for exceptions. It has been said that wise/righteous people do sometimes make mistakes, and on occasion foolish/wicked people act honourably. Pray for the grace to develop habits of behaviour that will lead you along the path of wisdom and righteousness. When face with important decisions, take time to weigh all of the circumstances so that you might make the best choice possible.
