The Music Of Proverbs 14

Taking a bath in Proverbs chapter 14 this morning...

Each verse is like a note in a beautiful song... rising up one by one and then down with unexpected changes.

Those who don't believe we have free will can't have gone deeply into this book. It is all about how things are, who we choose to be and what likely happens because of choices made.

Here is a taste...

"A faithful witness does not lie, but a false witness breathes out lies. A scoffer seeks wisdom in vain, but knowledge is easy for a man of understanding. Leave the presence of a fool, for there you do not meet words of knowledge. The wisdom of the prudent is to discern his way, but the folly of fools is deceiving. Fools mock at the guilt offering, but the upright enjoy acceptance. The heart knows its own bitterness, and no stranger shares its joy. The house of the wicked will be destroyed, but the tent of the upright will flourish. There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death. Even in laughter the heart may ache, and the end of joy may be grief. The backslider in heart will be filled with the fruit of his ways, and a good man will be filled with the fruit of his ways." - Proverbs 14:5-14 ESV

Wash, rinse, repeat...
