Which Woman Teaches You?

[AmberJGardner]

The Woman Wisdom or the Woman Folly? Everybody listens to one of them.

Proverbs
9 Wisdom has built her house;
she has carved its seven columns.
2 She has prepared a great banquet,
mixed the wines, and set the table.
3 She has sent her servants to invite everyone to come.
She calls out from the heights overlooking the city.
4 “Come in with me,” she urges the simple.
To those who lack good judgment, she says,
5 “Come, eat my food,
and drink the wine I have mixed.
6 Leave your simple ways behind, and begin to live;
learn to use good judgment.”

7 Anyone who rebukes a mocker will get an insult in return.
Anyone who corrects the wicked will get hurt.
8 So don’t bother correcting mockers;
they will only hate you.
But correct the wise,
and they will love you.
9 Instruct the wise,
and they will be even wiser.
Teach the righteous,
and they will learn even more.

10 Fear of the Lord is the foundation of wisdom.
Knowledge of the Holy One results in good judgment.

11 Wisdom will multiply your days
and add years to your life.
12 If you become wise, you will be the one to benefit.
If you scorn wisdom, you will be the one to suffer.

Folly Calls for a Hearing
13 The woman named Folly is brash.
She is ignorant and doesn’t know it.
14 She sits in her doorway
on the heights overlooking the city.
15 She calls out to men going by
who are minding their own business.
16 “Come in with me,” she urges the simple.
To those who lack good judgment, she says,
17 “Stolen water is refreshing;
food eaten in secret tastes the best!”
18 But little do they know that the dead are there.
Her guests are in the depths of the grave.

You are getting preachy, - proselytizing, - right off the bat.

Was there something you actually wanted to debate, on these debate forums?

I just don't understand (as usual).

 

[Tumah]

You understand that the reason it refers to a female is because both the word for wisdom and the word for folly here are feminine constructs in Hebrew, right? There are no women.

Jezebel teaches me: watch out or the fundies will get you!

Where can I find a Jezebel? I hear she was a whore. You know where I can find a good Jezebel? Is that an oxymoron? A good Jezebel?

All the women in my life have taught me at least a bit of something.
Some were VERY HARD PAINFUL LESSONS!
Alas, now I have a fine woman who is my partner.

I like my hamburgers with pickles and onions. Is that what you wanted to debate?

Good example why you should study scriptures in their own language.

Easy to say. but the New Testament is all Greek to me.
