6 At the window of my house
I looked down through the lattice.
7 I saw among the simple,
I noticed among the young men,
a youth who had no sense.
8 He was going down the street near her corner,
walking along in the direction of her house
9 at twilight, as the day was fading,
as the dark of night set in.
NIV
PCDC Commentary
Sneaking away to the house of a married woman
at dusk cannot be a wise decision.
30 People do not despise a thief if he steals
to satisfy his hunger when he is starving.
31 Yet if he is caught, he must pay sevenfold,
though it costs him all the wealth of his house.
NIV
PCDC Commentary
Sympathy for a starving thief is understandable,
but he must face sentencing all the same.
1 My son, pay attention to my wisdom,
turn your ear to my words of insight,
2 that you may maintain discretion
and your lips may preserve knowledge.
NIV
PCDC Commentary
Wisdom produces knowledge and discretion.
23 Above all else, guard your heart,
for everything you do flows from it.
NIV
PCDC Commentary
God is three persons
Father, Son, Holy Spirit
You are 3 components
Body: Your physical component
Soul: Your everlasting component
Spirit: Your dynamic character
Guard your heart means shield your spirit.
Your spirit constantly changes.
Insure it changes for the better.
19 By wisdom the Lord laid the earth’s foundations,
by understanding he set the heavens in place;
20 by his knowledge the watery depths were divided,
and the clouds let drop the dew.
New International Version (NIV)
PCDC Commentary
The Lord created
the heavens and the earth,
the oceans and clouds.
He invites you to seek out the same wisdom,
and more.
