Wisdom.

"Happy are those who find wisdom.
and those who get understanding,
for her income is better than silver,
and revenue better than gold.
She is more precious than jewels,
and nothing you desire can compare
with her.
Long life is in her right hand;
in her left hand are riches and honor.
Her ways are ways of pleasantness
and all her paths are peace.
She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her
those who hold her fast are called
happy." -Proverbs 3:13-18

Growing up I remember the passage in bold (she is more precious..) referring to a man and how he should look at his wife. Re- reading this now I realize that would be taking it out of context completely. It's referring to the importance of wisdom.

I don't know maybe I'm just crazy...but is the bold scripture not most commonly placed as encouragement to women to realize their worth and something said to men to help realize the worth of women? Not that the above interpretation is doing harm...but its talking about wisdom...which I feel is much more powerful.


over and out.
