This proverb was a father teaching how to ask for wisdom. It also explained the need to stay away from evil and the consequences of not doing so.

This one spoke of getting wisdom at all cost. Like this is the most important thing. Get wisdom, get understanding; Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you. The part that stood out was vs 23-27, "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Keep your mouth free from perversity; keep corrupt talk far from your lips. Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you. Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways. Do not Turn to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil." I feel like this has been a theme in my readings lately. To guard your heart and maintain your focus on God. Keep evil thoughts from corrupting your heart. Maybe because I have been struggling with this a little. My thoughts continue to be negative or harmful in nature. I have found myself mostly thinking poorly about others and not considering the things I don't see or know about their situation. People have been so awful and hateful and it is hard not to pass judgement even though I know that is not for me. I just wish they would stop being a-holes and treat people with a little courtesy and respect.
