Proverbs 9

“Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!”

Proverbs 9:4a,16a

Both Wisdom and Folly call to us, issuing the same invitation. One sincerely offers life in paths of righteousness and justice. The other is a con artist, whose promises are empty and whose paths lead to death. It is easy here in the text to discern which is which, but in our daily lives those voices may not be so obvious, and most people are rather easily seduced by Folly.

To whom are you listening?
