The book of wisdom is totally motivated from the shared wisdom of King Solomon as record in the Holy Bible (PROVERBS).

 

I would love us to pick a chapter every week and discuss.

 

I perceive it will be interesting because as the name implies we will be getting divine wisdom. It will also be more interesting if we read it with the intention of learning or developing ourselves rather than just earning.

 

After reading try to leave your insight or what you picked significantly from the verses.

 

May heavens grant us the grace to learn and earn. Amen!

 

CHAPTER THREE 

 

Let's begin from verse five,

 

V5.Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not rely on your own insight (knowledge)

V8.It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones.

 

V9.Honour the Lord with your substance and with the first fruit of all your produce

 

V10.Then your barns will be filled and your vats will be bursting with wine.

 

V11.My son do not despise the Lords discipline or be weary of His reproof.

 

V12.For the Lord reproves him who He loves,as a father the son in whom he delights.

 

V13.Happy is the man who finds wisdom and who gets understanding

V19.The Lord by wisdom founded the earth; by understanding He established the heavens.

 

V20.By His knowledge the deeps broke forth, and the clouds drop down the dew.

 

V21.My son keep sound wisdom and discretion; let them not escape from your sight.

 

V22.And they will be life for your soul and adornment for your neck.

 

V23.Then you will work on your way securely and your foot will not stumble.

 

V24.If you sit down you will not be afraid; when you lie down your sleep will be sweet.

 

V25.Do not be afraid of sudden panic or the ruin of the wicked when it comes.

 

V26.For the Lord will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being caught.

 

V27.Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to do it.

V28.Do not say to your neighbor, "Go, and come again tomorrow i will give it" when you have it with you.

 

V29.Do not plan evil against your neighbor who dwells trustingly beside you.

 

V30.Do not contend with a man for no reason when he has done you no harm.

 

V31.Do not envy a man of violence and do not choose any of his ways.

 

V32.For the perverse man is an abomination to the Lord, but the upright are in His confidence.

 

V33.The Lords curse is on the house of the wicked, but He blesses the abode of the righteous.

 

V34.Towards the scorners He is scornful, but to the humble He shows favour.

CHAPTER SIX

V1.My son,if you have become surety(to accept responsibility if someone else does not pay a debt) for your neighbor, have given your pledge for a stranger.

 

V2.If you are snared in the utterance of your lips,caught in the words of your mouth.

 

V3.Then do this, my son, and save yourself, for you have come into your neighbor's power: go hasten and importune your neighbor

 

V4.Give your eyes no sleep and your eyelids no slumber.

V5.Save yourself like a gazelle from the hunter, like a bird from the hand of the fowler.

 

V6.Go to the ant, O sluggard;consider her ways and be wise.

 

V7.Without having any chief,officer or ruler

 

V8.She prepares her food in summer, and gathers her sustenance in harvest.

 

V9.How long will you lie there, O sluggard?

When will you arise from your sleep?

 

V10.A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest

 

V11.And porverty will come upon you like a vagabond, and want like an armed man.

 

V12.A worthless person,a wicked man, goes about with crooked speech.

 

V13.Winks with his eyes and scrapes with his feet, points with his finger.

 

V14.With perverted heart devises evil,continually sowing discord.

 

V15.Therefore calamity will come upon him suddenly; in a moment he will be broken beyond healing

 

V16.There are six things which the Lord hate, seven which are an abomination to him

 

V17.Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood

 

V18.A heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil

 

V19.A false witness who breathes out lies,and a man who sows discord among brothers

 

V20.My son, keep your Father's commandment, and forsake not your mother's teaching.

 

V21.Bind them upon your heart always; tie them about your neck.

 

V22.When you walk they will lead you; when you lie down, they will watch over you and when you awake, they will talk with you

 

V23.For the commandment is a lamb and the teaching a light, and the repoofs of discipline are the way of life

 

V24.To preserve you from the evil woman from the smooth tongue of the adventuress

 

V25.Do not desire her beauty in your heart, and do not let her capture you with her eyelashes

 

V26.For a harlot may be hired for a loaf of bread but an adulteress stalks a man's very life

 

V27.Can a man carry fire in his bosom and his clothes not be burned?

 

V28.Or can one walk upon hot coals and his feet not be scorched?

 

V29.So is he who goes into his neighbors wife; none who touch her will go unpunished.

 

V30.Do not men depise a thief if he steals to satisfy his appetite when hungry?

 

V31.And if he is caught, he will pay seven fold; he will give all the goods of his house.

 

V32.He who commits adultery has no sense; he who does it destroys himself.

 

V33.Wounds and dishonor will he get and his disgrace will not be wiped away.

 

V34.For jealousy makes a man furious and he will not spare when he takes revenge.

 

V35.He will accept no compensation, nor be appeased though you multiply gifts.

Amen!

 

May our God forgive us in anyway we have gone against any of the instructions HE has given us today and grant us the grace to be submissive to HIM in Jesus name Amen!
