Be Wise

‘He that walks with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.’ One who walks with a wise man will imitate him in wisdom, but one who follows a fool will become base and vile.

Twelve blessings of wisdom: It excels folly (Eccl. 2:13). It does not allow one to be discouraged through questions regarding better former days (Eccl. 7:10). It is good with an inheritance, for it helps one to know how to use what he has received to the best advantage for the future (Eccl. 7:11). It enables man to make profit. It is a defence (Eccl. 7:12). It gives life. It is better than strength (Eccl. 7:19; 9:16). It proves all things (Eccl. 7:23). It provides joy and boldness (Eccl. 8:1). It delivers in war (Eccl. 9:15). It is better than weapons of war (Eccl. 9:18). It is profitable to direct (Eccl. 10:10).
