Proverbs 1:20-26

The woman called Wisdom

In his second story, Solomon tells us about a woman. This woman’s name is Wisdom.

The woman is upset, and she is angry.

This is why she shouts. Her children are not obeying her. They refuse her advice.

She walks through the streets and she complains to everyone. She even goes to the city gate. In ancient times, judges were at the city gate. She wants to obtain a judgement against her children. They are simple, evil and foolish (verse 22). They deserve punishment (verse 26).
