In these Proverbs, Solomon is speaking to his sons in chapters 1b-7, and then to people in chapters 8-9. Wisdom is personified as a woman, and she gives instruction about our speech, the harlot and infidelity, the sluggard or lazy person, and it's worth is beyond silver, gold, or jewels. We also see that a person that has wisdom has life. We are encouraged to guard our hearts for from it comes the springs of life. There is also a list of seven things which the Lord hates, and there is a clear distinction between what a foolish person does verses a wise person. We also take a look at how Jesus in the New Testament embodies wisdom.
