January 31, 2026, Proverbs 9:1-12
9 Wisdom
has built her house;
she has
hewn her seven pillars.
2 She has slaughtered her beasts; she
has mixed her wine;
she has
also set her table.
3 She has sent out her young women to call
from the
highest places in the town,
4 “Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!”
To him
who lacks sense she says,
5 “Come, eat of my bread
and drink
of the wine I have mixed.
6 Leave your simple ways, and live,
and walk
in the way of insight.”
7 Whoever
corrects a scoffer gets himself abuse,
and he
who reproves a wicked man incurs injury.
8 Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you;
reprove
a wise man, and he will love you.
9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will
be still wiser;
teach a
righteous man, and he will increase in learning.
10 The fear of the Lord is
the beginning of wisdom,
and the
knowledge of the Holy One is insight.
11 For by me your days will be multiplied,
and
years will be added to your life.
12 If you are wise, you are wise for yourself;
if you
scoff, you alone will bear it.
Verse
nine is so true. Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser;
teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning. May God help us to be
reminded daily that He desires for us to grow in wisdom and learning through
His word.
