The wise person

A wise person loves wisdom. ‘He loves God’s law. He is always thinking about it.’ (Psalms 1:2).

He always wants to learn more. He is never too tired to think about wisdom.

He still makes mistakes. ‘Show a wise man how he is wrong! He will love you for your correction.’ (Proverbs 9:8). He even wants you to teach him. ‘Teach a wise man and he will become still wiser.’ (Proverbs 9:9).

We can all learn more. We can all grow in knowledge. The Bible teaches us God’s wisdom.

The intelligent person

Like the wise person, the intelligent person wants to learn. He will ask for advice. He is trying to understand God’s ways. As he studies, he will know more. He will even understand difficult words of wisdom.

v7 Respect God! Knowledge begins with this lesson. Fools hate wisdom and discipline.
