“Wisdom Calls”
“Wisdom Calls”
Blessings folk!
Wisdom cries out to man!
Understanding calls!
Will we listen?
Will we heed?
Hear the cry of wisdom…
Pro 8:1-11
Does not wisdom call,
And understanding lift up her voice?
On top of the heights beside the way,
Where the paths meet, she takes her stand;
Beside the gates, at the opening to the city,
At the entrance of the doors, she cries out:
“To you, O men, I call,
And my voice is to the sons of men.
“O naive ones, understand prudence;
And, O fools, understand wisdom.
“Listen, for I will speak noble things;
And the opening of my lips will reveal right things.
“For my mouth will utter truth;
And wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
“All the utterances of my mouth are in righteousness;
There is nothing crooked or perverted in them.
“They are all straightforward to him who understands,
And right to those who find knowledge.
“Take my instruction and not silver,
And knowledge rather than choicest gold.
“For wisdom is better than jewels;
And all desirable things cannot compare with her.
Understand prudence!
Understand wisdom!
Listen!
Listen to truth.
Reject wickedness.
Wisdom speaks righteousness.
Seek wisdom rather than silver.
Seek knowledge rather than gold.
Gold, silver, jewels, desirable things…all fail in comparison to Wisdom.
