Meeting at the Dandurand's This Friday, June 28th at 7PM

This week we will have fewer questions but I hope they will still be a blessing to you all.

Proverbs 8.12 ¶            “I, wisdom, dwell with prudence,

                        and I find knowledge and discretion.

Proverbs 8.13 The fear of the LORD is hatred of evil.

             Pride and arrogance and the way of evil

                        and perverted speech I hate.

            What does it mean to hate? What does it mean to hate evil? Can you think of any examples of “hatred of evil” in scripture?

            Why are pride and arrogance wrong (think beyond, "the bible says so.")? And what do these vices have to do with the fear of the LORD?

            What does “perverted” mean? What are some examples of perverted speech? What is the intended purpose of speech? Can you think of a verse to support your idea? What does it mean to hate perverted speech? Does the way you (personally) speak reflect a hatred of perverted speech?

Proverbs 8.14 I have counsel and sound wisdom;

                        I have insight; I have strength.

Proverbs 8.15 By me kings reign,

                        and rulers decree what is just;

Proverbs 8.16 by me princes rule,

                        and nobles, all who govern justly.

Proverbs 8.17 I love those who love me,

                        and those who seek me diligently find me.

What does it mean to love wisdom? How does this verse relate, if at all, to Prov 2:1-5? Based on verse 17, Who are those who love wisdom?
