It took me about 6 minutes to read these proverbs. I want to focus on the first and last proverb in this chapter. Solomon begins this list with a word picture of the fruits of a life that is founded on wisdom. If it were a house it would not only be secure and well built (safe and sound) it would posess all the qualities that would allow a family to move in and call it "home". It would be a beautiful sight to behold. But what would happen in the same house if foolishness moved in? Brick by brick, the house would be dismantled. Its beauty would vanish. Its foundation would soon become a weak and useless pile of rubble.
The first part of the last verse is a word that our culture, especially the church, needs to hear,
