Proverbs 9

I have recently discovered how much I love the Message translation of Proverbs. I have been reading that recently and will try to reference that translation as much as I can from now on. Wisdom makes herself knows. Calls those to join her at feast. If you have confusion or uncertainty, wisdom calls. Wisdom invites you to dine with her so that you can live! By sitting with those who are an arrogant cynic, you'll be slapped in the face and kicked in the shins by confronting bad behavior. Rather, correct those who care about life and you'll be loved! Give breath to the wise and they'll gain more wisdom. Speak the good news and others will profit from it. Lady Wisdom. How noble a name. It is with wisdom that years of life ripen! Adultery and lust try to sing Lady Wisdom's tunes. Rather then living a rich life, those who chose them over Wisdom are pulled into a pit of ruin and despair.
