About this episode

Josiah Movius discusses the wisdom found in Proverbs 9:6-10, emphasizing discernment and the fear of the Lord.

In chapter 9 Solomon starts to turn the corner giving us wisdom, to listen to wisdom, leave the company of fools and the simple, and not correct scoffers. Wisdom is displayed in these 4 verses as not just simply copying others good knowledge, but doing so with discernment, and deeper intentionality. I also share some thoughts on the fear of The Lord and a incredible testimony of how this book really had a huge positive effect on me years ago. josiahmovius10@yahoo.com Proverbs 9 Blue Letter Bible Hebrew manuscript: https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/pro/9/1/s_637001 David Guziks Bible commentary through Proverbs 9: https://www.blueletterbible.org/comm/guzik_david/study-guide/proverbs/proverbs-9.cfm?a=637001 Bible portal site: https://www.bibleportal.com/commentaries Derek Kidner commentaries: https://www.ivpress.com/kidner-classic-commentaries
