    Wisdom is not hidden or obscure. It is as visible as the noonday sun. Wisdom does not whisper in dark, secret places. It cries out for a hearing in the middle of human activity. It is not hard to find. Any man with a heart and mind for it can easily discover it. It is not the limited privilege of the elite. It is offered freely and widely to all persons (Pr 8:4).This proverb is part of Solomon’s introduction to personifying wisdom as a woman (Pr 8:1-3). In one of the most elegant pieces of literature in the world, Lady Wisdom is introduced before assuming the first person to describe her character and her benefits to men (Pr 8:4-36). He will continue his personification into the next chapter (Pr 9:1-12).After three chapters detailing the methods and danger of the strange woman and sexual seduction (Pr 5-7), Solomon presented another woman, Lady Wisdom. While whores desire darkness to cover their sins and lie in wait at corners (Pr 7:8-12), Lady Wisdom stands in the open, where human concourse takes all men. While the invitation of whores should be rejected (Pr 9:13-18), the offer of Lady Wisdom should be taken (Pr 9:1-5).God offers wisdom to all men on earth. It begins with fearing the LORD and knowing the holy God (Pr 1:7; 9:10). “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard” (Ps 19:1-3).“Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse” (Rom 1:19-20). Yet men do not fear the Lord!Another fabulous piece of literature with real value is Job 28. In that chapter, Job uses a parable to describe the incredible efforts men make to mine precious metals from the earth. The deep, underground mines for gold, silver, and diamonds are extreme enterprises, but wisdom is not there, and wisdom does not cost nearly as much as the capital outlays required for those mines and refineries. Wisdom is by the fear of the Lord.Creation’s universal language calls for all men to repent and humble themselves before their Maker, which is the beginning of wisdom (Ps 19:1-6). But that is not the only medium by which wisdom calls. The written word of God also offers wisdom to the simple, which makes it more precious than gold and sweeter than honey (Ps 19:7-11).Reader, have you not heard parents and pastor calling you to wisdom as well? It is not far off in a difficult place. It is not whispering in the dark. It is out in the open and calling you loudly. What hinders you? Take it now. Accept her invitation. Pursue her friendship. Forsake the foolish. Separate yourself from life’s distractions (Pr 18:1). If you do not do so quickly, she will laugh you to scorn (Pr 1:20-33). Or do you love death (Pr 8:36)?https://letgodbetrue.com/proverbs/index/chapter-8/proverbs-8-2/

    What did Samson and Solomon have in common? They could not resist whorish women. Are men stronger than women? Yes, ordinarily. No, when the woman is an adulteress. Here is the wise Preacher’s warning about the danger of the strange woman – a woman other than your wife, especially a woman with a whorish heart (Pr 7:1-27). Solomon, a wise father, soberly warned his son about the temptation and danger of a loose woman (Pr 7:1-5,24-27). After describing her seduction of a foolish young man in a lengthy parable (Pr 7:6-23), he summarized the grave danger of going near such a woman two ways – her power over men is great (Pr 7:26), and the results are fatal (Pr 7:26-27). Adam and Eve taught a sober lesson in Eden (Gen 2:18-25; 3:1-6). Though Adam was made first and Eve was his helper, he could not resist her request to eat the forbidden fruit (Gen 3:12). Satan’s lie to Eve did not deceive Adam, but he weakly submitted to his naked wife over God and His commandment (Gen 2:16-17; I Tim 2:14). And Satan has used women to seduce men ever since, whether married or not (Job 2:9; I Kgs 11:1-11). By wise design, God made the woman’s body, flattering speech, physical contact, and eagerness for intimacy to powerfully attract men. Used properly in marriage, it results in the great pleasures of the Song of Solomon. Used outside marriage, only a few men can resist the powerful temptation. As the proverb declares, “Many strong men have been slain by her.” The only sure way to avoid adultery is to stay far from her (Pr 7:6-8,25). Women have altered nations by seducing their leaders. Consider Cleopatra. This conniving adulteress stole Egypt’s throne and undermined Rome’s by seducing Julius Caesar, and then she destroyed the general Mark Antony by adultery as well. These men, renowned for courage, leadership, and strength, were soft putty in her lying embraces. But there was Joseph, who resisted the repeated advances of Potiphar’s wife, to eventually rule Egypt, second only to Pharaoh (Gen 39:7-12). Though never having the strength of Samson or killing a giant like David, Joseph is a greater hero. And the Lord Jesus Christ, tempted in all points as any man, was without sin His entire life (Heb 4:15). What will adultery cost? You will be wounded and slain! Delilah took Samson to an early grave of ignominy and shame. Bathsheba cost David enormously the rest of his life. And pagan women from other nations ruined Solomon’s life and dynasty. Adultery is not the exciting diversion the world claims; adultery is a painful hell and death (Pr 7:27). How can men defeat the adulteress? They cannot go near her, because they do not have the strength to resist. They must avoid her altogether. She has four wiles: looks, flattery, touch, and willingness. Reject pornography, coed swimming, and immodestly clothed women. Reject flirting, phoning, texting, or email liaisons. Reject dancing, embracing, or other physical contact with another woman. And never allow personal or intimate conversation or opportunity where her willingness for sin can be communicated. Good wives grasp the power they have and use it to please their husbands and win peace in their marriages and homes (Song 8:6-7; I Cor 7:1-5). And they rejoice in the wonderful pleasure themselves (Song 1:1-2; 2:3-7; 3:4-5; 5:9-16; 8:1-4). They will use their looks, romantic words, physical caresses, and initiate lovemaking to promote romance at home to save their husbands from whorish women (Pr 5:19-20; I Cor 7:1-5; Heb 13:4). There is another whore in the Bible. The great whore of Revelation 17, which is the false Church of Rome and the churches that came from her. She has also cast down many wounded, and many strong men have been destroyed by her false doctrine and abominable practices. The way to safety is the same – stay far away from her, and find a true church of Jesus Christ where you can meet, worship, and serve in apostolic purity.

    Friends pose a financial danger, if you are proud, sentimental, or impulsive. Strong and prudent men retain riches (Pr 11:16), but weak men lose money by unnecessary and foolish risks. Proverbs has precious financial advice from God to save you from poverty that may come by exposing your assets or income to risk. Thank you, Father in heaven.As a loving earthly father teaching his son, Solomon warned him against being a surety for friends, which he condemned often (Pr 6:1-5; 11:15; 17:18; 20:16; 22:26-27; 27:13). There is a very real danger for men to over-commit resources for the benefit of friends.What is suretiship? What is wrong with it? What wisdom can you learn for life? In an age of reckless personal, corporate, and national financial promises, this proverb’s wisdom is crucial. A wise man will not overextend himself or risk his assets by potential liabilities.You are a surety when you guarantee the financial payments or personal performance of someone else. In this case, you promise a third party – a stranger – that your friend will make his payments or do what is expected, and you promise to pay the debt yourself or be held personally liable, if your friend cannot or does not do what is required of him.Such financial deals, before computerized credit analysis and mass personal bankruptcies, when a man’s word was sufficient, were formalized by shaking hands (Pr 17:18; 22:26). Striking hands, or joining them, was a form of entering into contracts in various countries and times (Job 17:3; Ps 144:8,11). Some commitments or deals are made to this day by shaking hands. Without a written contract, personal integrity binds the parties.Today suretiship often occurs by cosigning loans. You go with your friend to his banker, the stranger, and you sign your name and credit as the backup source of payment, if your friend cannot or will not pay the contractual terms of the loan. What a nice gesture of friendship, right? What else are friends for, right? You are the beloved hero of the hour!God warned against guaranteeing others’ debts without careful review of their character (Pr 11:15; 20:16), the extent of the obligation (Pr 22:3; 14:15), and your ability to pay it off (Pr 22:27). He indirectly condemned off-balance-sheet accounting and excessive contingent liabilities, for He knew the crucial but oft-neglected rule of risk management.Sober suretiship may not only be allowable, but prudent, charitable, and necessary (Philemon 1:18-19; Gen 43:8-10; Isaiah 1:17). If a godly friend or poor person is in need for an amount you can afford, then there is no sin in the act of charity and friendship to help them. The folly of suretiship is hasty promises and excessive commitments.Haste and pride cause foolish promises. Haste utters words and shakes hands before knowing the extent of an obligation (Pr 14:15; 19:2; 22:3; 29:20). Pride wants to be seen as a man of means, which is briefly obtained by publicly guaranteeing debts or personal performance, even though the person may have few assets for paying off the obligation.Sentiment and impulse cause foolish promises. Sentimental emotion causes friendship to weigh more heavily than sober consideration of the risk of potential liabilities, so a foolish man cosigns for his underemployed friend’s new car. Impulse hears of his friend’s need and knows he can resolve the matter easily, so he cosigns without evaluating it.Consider the context here. If there was ever a son that could pay off any surety obligations, it would be the heir and prince of the richest king on earth. Yet it is this son that King Solomon warned. Financial success requires more than avoiding catastrophic loss – it also involves the financial discipline and rules to avoid foolish or risky decisions.
