Love is Wisdom
7
The relatives of the poor despise them;
how much more will their friends avoid them!
Though the poor plead with them,
their friends are gone.
8
To acquire wisdom is to love yourself;
people who cherish understanding will prosper.
Verse 7
God loves poor people (Luke 4:18). As Christians, we must be the friends of poor people. Greedy people will not help poor people. But Christians can show poor people that God loves poor people too.
People often avoid the poor because they feel guilty for not helping them. They might say the poor are just lazy, but usually, the poor are stuck in poverty through no fault of their own.
Verse 8
Wisdom is a good thing. If you are wise, then you will benefit from your wisdom. Wisdom improves your whole life. Learn to be wise! Wisdom is better than wealth or fame. Nothing is better than wisdom, because wisdom teaches us to respect God.
If you want good things in life, focus on understanding God's Creation.
Let me ask you: There are some people who beg professionally and take advantage of others' kindness. When someone asks you for money for food, they might use it for alcohol instead. One way to find out is to invite them to a restaurant. Would you ever dare to do that?
