[:en]INVITATION OF WISDOM AND OF FOLLY
There are 2 houses and 2 invitations. Wisdom offers you a banquet of food, meat and wine; Folly offers you stolen water and food. Wisdom promises you life by walking in the way of understanding while folly leads those lack of judgment to death. Which house will you enter?
Instruct a wise man and he will be wiser. Teach a righteous man and he will add to his learning. Correct a mocker and he will insult you. Rebuke a mocker and he will hate you. Rebuke a wicked man, and he will abuse you.
How about you? How do you respond to criticisms, corrections and rebuke? The wise person knows that rebuke is evidence of love and will value it and gain understanding from it.
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding” (v. 10)
Wisdom begins with knowing God. Knowng God means having an intimate relationship with Him. Do you have a personal relationship with God? Are you talking to Him and reading His Word?
