my book, "Wisdom Rules" for Tweenagers. 31 Stories of Wisdom: Ancient
Proverbs for Today's Kids. Each chapter follows the days of the month and the
chapter in Proverbs for that day. Here is what the second chapter in the book
is about:
In a picturesque town
cradled by dense forests and shimmering streams, there lived a spirited young
boy named Ethan. Known for his insatiable curiosity and adventurous spirit, Ethan
was always on the lookout for new discoveries. His parents often imparted words
of wisdom to him, saying, "Ethan, hold our words dear and close to your
heart. Wisdom and understanding are treasures beyond compare." Little did
Ethan know that these pearls of wisdom would illuminate his path on an
extraordinary journey, leading him to a treasure far greater than he ever
imagined. Chapter 2 The Treasure of Wisdom
Read the first chapter of Wisdom Rules for Tweenagershere.
My son, if thou wilt
receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;
2 So that
thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;
3 Yea, if
thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
4 If thou
seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;
5 Then
shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge
of God.
6 For
the Lord giveth wisdom: out
of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
7 He layeth
up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
8 He
keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.
9 Then
shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good
path.
10 When wisdom
entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;
11 Discretion
shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:
12 To
deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward
things;
13 Who leave
the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;
14 Who
rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked;
15 Whose
ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths:
16 To
deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth
with her words;
17 Which
forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.
18 For her
house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.
19 None that
go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.
20 That thou
mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.
21 For the
upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.
22 But the
wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted
out of it.
