February 22, 2010 Lesson 6 of Proverbs 9

Set 9:1-6 and 9:13-18 side by side. In what respect are wisdom and folly (9:13, RV mg.) alike, and where in do they differ? Answer: Each call out to those in the street. Wisdom is calling them to life, while folly is calling them to death. Wisdom tells you up front that those with folly will mock and rebuke you, while folly continues to pull people in through deception.
