A wise man...
...humbles himself when wrong (RARE these days, from what I see)
...begs for forgiveness
...works hard, is not lazy
...does not have a perverse mouth
...does not plan evil
...does not spread strife
...does not have haughty (proud, arrogant) eyes
...does not lie
...does not shed innocent blood
...does not devise wicked plans
...does not run to evil
...observes the commands of parents
...meditates on the Word
...accepts reproofs as discipline
...is not captured by the adulteress (physically or internally)
...does not commit adultery
...is not improperly jealous
My note here, take notice of the attitudes that are prevalent in our society today, goodness, they are in our churches, too! Men wo are wrong will not humble themselves and admit it, and ask forgiveness, forget it! Much too proud for that. It should truly be refreshing to accept reproof as discipline, based on the Word. But the majority today would rather try and try and try to be right, all the time, and as a result, are not wise.
Holding Fast to the Name of our Creator
