A Wise Man... (Prov. 2)

A wise man...

...will receive words and commandments, and treasure them
...will incline his heart to understanding (literally, do everything possible to understand, as in bending down to hear a small child, that's the picture)
...will cry for discernment
...will eagerly seek wisdom
...will be shielded by God if he is wise and maintains integrity
...will discern righteousness, justice, equity
...is guarded by discretion
...is delivered from the perverse man
...is delivered from the strange woman (this is a picture of faithfulness)
...remembers his promise with God
...will keep to paths of righteousness
