This proverb
continues the message from the prior two.
What are the benefits of wisdom?
If wisdom must be pursued, and that pursued costs effort, why is it
worth it?
David has
plenty of answers for these questions. He
has far more answers than I can put here.
However, I think that they can be summed up nicely. Wisdom is the way of righteousness. When we pursue wisdom we live in a way that
is pleasing to God, beneficial to the world around us, and keeps us free from trouble
that we bring upon ourselves. {Please
note that I didn’t say we would be kept from trouble. It doesn’t matter how wise I am, if someone
else intends to do me harm I’ll have to deal with it one way or another.}
Wisdom
brings peace.
Wisdom
brings favor from both God and mankind.
Wisdom
brings healing.
Wisdom
brings refreshment.
Wisdom brings
honor.
Wisdom
brings riches.
Wisdom brings
security.
Wisdom
brings surety.
Wisdom
brings confidence.
Wisdom
brings good relations between neighbors.
Wisdom
brings blessing and favor.
