Tribute To Wise Women
God attributed Wisdom to the wise woman in Proverbs 8 (1–11) where she speaks to men, pleading with them to listen to her wise counsel, to move away from simplicity and to hang onto God, protecting them from fear and evil. Wisdom is a tribute to all the smart women of the world and the guidance they provide to men!
Wisdom
Wisdom lament outdoors; she calls in the streets
She pleads in the chief place of gathering, in the opening of the gates: in the city she speaks her words, saying,
“How long, you foolish men love plainness? Delight in your scorning, and like fools hate knowledge?
Listen to my disapproval: see, I will pour out my spirit against you, I will make known my words against you.
I have called, and you refused; I have stretched my hand, and
you ignored all my advice and would have none of my problems
I will laugh at your misfortune; I will mock you when fear comes;
When your terror comes as agony, your destruction comes as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish come upon you.
Then you shall call upon me, but I will not answer; you seek me promptly,
but you’ll not find me: For that, you hated knowledge but did not accept to fear the LORD
You will tell no-one of my guidance or my objections
Consequently, you shall eat your fruit and follow your devices.
Holding onto being ignorant shall slay you and destroy you
But holding onto me shall save you, and you will be protected
from fear of evil”
