Wisdom Benefits
11
Wisdom will multiply your days
and add years to your life.
12
If you become wise, you will be the one to benefit.
If you scorn wisdom, you will be the one to suffer.
Verse 11
Wisdom, like a woman, cares for us. She is like a mother. If a child does not listen to his mother, then he is in danger. If a child learns from his mother, her instructions will keep him safe.
Verse 12
Wisdom offers a real reward. Wisdom will benefit our whole lives. If you refuse to be wise, then you will suffer.
The woman called Wisdom finishes her speech. This is her final speech in the Book of Proverbs. The poem is also approaching its end. But then we see another woman. This second woman is also shouting out. She also has an invitation. She too offers a meal. If you are simple, then you might confuse this other woman with Wisdom. If you are simple, then you might make a terrible mistake.
Some people drive recklessly, caring little for others. They tend to lead shorter, less fulfilling lives. Others dedicate everything to their work. While some rise to the top, others fail, sacrificing meaningful connections and ending up alone.
Living wisely leads to meaningful relationships, which often correlates with a longer life. In Proverbs, you're presented with a choice: embrace wisdom and its rewards or mock God and face the consequences alone.
Choose wisely!
Consider this: Some justify spending minimal time with loved ones by claiming it's quality over quantity. Yet, both are important. Are you neglecting your relationships?
