Wisdom

Proverbs 9 says "Wisdom has built her house...she calls from the highest point of the city. "'Let all who are simple come in here!' she says to those who lack judgment." But wisdom is not the only one calling for our attention. In the same chapter, verse 13 says "Folly is loud; she is undisciplined and without knowledge....she sits at the door of her house on a seat at the highest point of the city. She calls out 'Let all who are simple come in here' she says to those who lack judgement". So both Wisdom and Folly sit at the highest point of the city calling out to people - to come and eat what they have to offer. Wisdom leads to life and understanding. But Folly, who offers "stolen waters and food eaten in secret", leads to death and the depths of hell (18). Whom will you listen to?
