Wholesomeness

My advice is wholesome.
There is nothing devious or crooked in it.

My words are plain to anyone with understanding,
clear to those with knowledge.
The woman called Wisdom speaks good words. Her words are always true (verse 6). They are fair (verse 7). She does not speak wrong words (verse 7). Everything that she says is perfect (verse 9).
In Proverbs, God’s Wisdom says that words of
righteousness aren’t fancy – they are just common sense. The
trouble is that (as someone has said)
Common Sense ain’t all that common.
Again, wisdom and understanding are available to each
of God’s creatures. However, the creatures need to listen for and
to heed Wisdom when she speaks (or reveals herself through wise
advisors).
In the Book of Numbers it is written:
God is not a man that he should lie; neither the
son of man that he should repent.
We can trust God’s Wisdom.
Contemplate: Is Proverbs really true? Are the words
of Proverbs plain? Can we find truth and righteousness as we
daily study Wisdom? Do you really believe that Yahweh does
not lie?
