Wisdom Shouts in the Streets



Wisdom shouts in the streets.
 She cries out in the public square.
She call to the crowds along the main street,
 to those gathered in front of the city gate:
"How long you simpletons,
 will you insist on being simpleminded?
How long will you mockers relish your mocking?
 How long will you fools hate knowledge?
Come and listen to my counsel.
I'll share my heart with you
 and make you wise.

"I called you so often, but you wouldn't come.

A Father's Exhortation: Acquire Wisdom


My child, listen when your father corrects you.
  Don't neglect your mother's instruction.
What you learn from them will crown you with grace
  and be a chain of honor around your neck.

My child, if sinners entice you,
  turn your back on them!
They may say, "Come and join  us
  Let's hide and kill someone!
Just for fun, let's ambush the innocent!
  Let's swallow them alive, like the grave,
Let's swallow them whole, like those who go down to the pit of death.

Battles Against Phillistine Giants


Once again the Phillistine were at war with Israel,
And when David and his men were in the thick of battle,
David became weak and exhausted.
Ishbi-benob was descendant of the giants,
his bronze spearhead weighted more than seven pounds,
and he was armed with a new sword.
He had cornered David and was about to kill him.
But Abishah son of Zeruiah came to David's rescue and killed the Phillistine.
Then David's men men declared.
"You are not going to battle with us again! Why risk snuffing out of the light of Israel"?
After this, there was another battle against the Phillistine at Gob.
