“Wisdom Cries! Turn!”
“Wisdom Cries! Turn!”
Blessings folk!
In Proverbs “wisdom” is personified as “she”.
Give heed to “wisdom”…
Pro 1:20-23
Wisdom shouts in the street,
She lifts her voice in the square;
At the head of the noisy streets she cries out;
At the entrance of the gates in the city she utters her sayings:
“How long, O naive ones, will you love being simple-minded?
And scoffers delight themselves in scoffing
And fools hate knowledge?
“Turn to my reproof,
Behold, I will pour out my spirit on you;
I will make my words known to you.
Wisdom is not bashful.
Wisdom is not shy.
She shouts in the street - publicly.
She lifts her voice - in the town square.
In the midst of the cacophony of life she cries out.
What does she say?
“How long will you be naive?”
“How long will you be simple-minded?”
“How long will you be a scoffer delighting in scoffing?”
“How long will you be a fool hating knowledge?”
She cries…
“Turn to my reproof”
She promises…
“I will pour out my spirit on you.”
“I will make my words known to you.”
So, what is your response?
Will you turn to wisdom?
Or, will you remain a scoffing fool?
