Valuable Things

Proverbs 1:11-16 – If they say, “Come along with us; let’s lie in wait for innocent blood, let’s ambush some harmless soul; let’s swallow them alive, like the grave, and whole, like those who go down to the pit; we will get all sorts of valuable things and fill our houses with plunder; cast lots with us; we will all share the loot”—my son, do not go along with them, do not set foot on their paths; for their feet rush into evil, they are swift to shed blood.

Job 28:18 – Coral and jasper are not worthy of mention; the price of wisdom is beyond rubies.

Proverbs 2:18 – Surely her house leads down to death and her paths to the spirits of the dead.

Application:

  • ·         The book of Proverbs teaches that wisdom brings the greatest riches people could ever gain.
  • ·         The “wife of noble character”, who fears the Lord and is therefore wise is of value.
  • ·         A life of immorality leads to the destruction and death of all who are involved.
