Wet Talking
3
Doing wrong leads to disgrace,
and scandalous behavior brings contempt.
4
Wise words are like deep waters;
wisdom flows from the wise like a bubbling brook.
Verse 3
Often, an evil person hates other people. He hates, because he is evil. He is evil, because he hates.
This person will receive both shame and punishment. He will feel shame, when he receives his punishment.
In other words, doing evil leads to contempt, which then leads to shame and disgrace. Some people think they can have fun by sinning before turning to God, but this proverb teaches that sinning brings shame, not happiness.
Verse 4
A man’s words may be hard to understand. The man may try to hide his real thoughts. It is difficult for a swimmer to dive down to the deep water.
Wisdom is easy to understand. It is easy to distinguish good things from evil things. It is easy to distinguish right things from wrong things. Wisdom is like a flowing stream. Anyone can easily collect water from a flowing stream. Anyone can easily learn to be wise.
It’s easy, this proverbs reminds us that our words can have a big impact, either good or bad. Wise words can be life-giving and come from the Spirit within us. However, unwise words can cause pain, depression, confusion, and despair. To avoid hurting others with our words, we need wisdom.
Let me ask you: Where do we find wise words? In Gods Users’ Manual – the Bible.
