Wisdom calls all people her sons. No one is excluded from listening to her (32). Anyone can keep wisdom’s ways. Blessed is the person who listens to wisdom (34).
When I was young I wanted to be blessed for to me this meant God gave me good things no matter what I had done, was doing and would do. Yet here I see that a person is blessed when they listen to wisdom (34).
Thus far in Proverbs, the daily path a young man or woman can lead is portrayed by two women; one adulterous and another wisdom. The former way is self-harm and death (36). The latter is life and receives favor from the Lord (35). The petition goes out. It is me to decide.
