Day 246 – Proverbs 7:1-5
In the Hebrew text of chapters 7-9 Solomon writes three great poems.
The first great poem is in chapter 7. This poem is about a woman who tempts a simple man. This man behaves like a fool because he trusts her. He does not realize what will happen to him.
The second great poem is in chapter 8 and the first part of chapter 9. This moves us as the readers into a court situation – in Old Testament times, legal matters were handled and settled at the city gates. This poem is a legal hearing, such as you would hear in front of a judges or elders of the town. The speaker who is a woman lawyer is called Wisdom. She argues the case that everyone should listen to her words and precepts.
The final great poem in the last part of chapter 9. This poem contrasts the woman lawyer called Wisdom, against another woman lawyer, called ‘Folly.' Both lawyers plead their case and invite the simple people to an eternal feast. If you accept the right invitation, you will be set free to eat abundantly and have life eternal. If you accept the other invitation, then you are condemned to death. The choice is clear, and the choice is yours.
