bind them around your neck,
write them on the tablet of your heart.
4 Then you will win favor and a good name
in the sight of God and man.
Proverbs is a very curious chapter, what is wisdom? How does one quantify wisdom? How do you get some? What is Godly wisdom? All these questions will be answered in this book. But first, most importantly keep love and faithfulness inscribed in your heart!
13 Blessed are those who find wisdom,
those who gain understanding,
14 for she is more profitable than silver
and yields better returns than gold.
15 She is more precious than rubies;
nothing you desire can compare with her.
16 Long life is in her right hand;
in her left hand are riches and honor.
17 Her ways are pleasant ways,
and all her paths are peace.
18 She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her;
those who hold her fast will be blessed.
The book talks about the benefits of having wisdom, Godly wisdom. Wisdom is so precious, more profitable than silver, gold, rubies, the whole deal! It will give you life and riches, So much talk about the benefits of Godly wisdom, but what is it?
27 Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,
when it is in your power to act.
28 Do not say to your neighbor,
“Come back tomorrow and I’ll give it to you”—
when you already have it with you.
29 Do not plot harm against your neighbor,
who lives trustfully near you.
30 Do not accuse anyone for no reason—
when they have done you no harm.
when it is in your power to act.
28 Do not say to your neighbor,
“Come back tomorrow and I’ll give it to you”—
when you already have it with you.
29 Do not plot harm against your neighbor,
who lives trustfully near you.
30 Do not accuse anyone for no reason—
when they have done you no harm.
All these are part of it, just simply doing the right thing, to be righteous! Do good and be righteous. If you have realized this is part of the ten commandments. Love your neighbour like yourself! and Do not make false accusations.
24 Keep your mouth free of perversity;
keep corrupt talk far from your lips.
keep corrupt talk far from your lips.
Keep your speech and mouth away from curses and speculation!
All these atre wisdom, how to be wise in God's eyes. All these are not easy to do i would say. It is not easy to honor all these daily but when one does it, he will reap many riches! Godly riches!
