Job 28
20 “But do people know where to find wisdom?
Where can they find understanding?
23 God alone understands the way to wisdom;
he knows where it can be found,
28 And this is what he says to all humanity:
‘The fear of the Lord is true wisdom;
to forsake evil is real understanding.’”.
The proverbs are filled with wisdom sayings, and they no doubt get much of the understanding about wisdom from Job. We all desire to be considered “wise” by our peers, our family, etc. We all want to be thought of as “understanding” and as a source of advice that will help others along life’s journey. Job sums it up nicely here: want wisdom? Fear the Lord. Want understanding? Forsake evil. So easy to say, so difficult to put into practice.
