Proverbs 9

The invitation of Wisdom (Prov 9:4) and Folly (Prov 9:16) start off sounding the same. The calls to the naïve and simple are desperately needed. Both call out to the people from the heights of the city. Wisdom stands and makes her plea while Folly lounges about hawking her wares. Maybe we should know them by their posture or perhaps by the state of their house.  We should stop on the street and observe the state of those who traverse their doorways. Because after the invitation the messages are worlds apart. And the fruit of their offering are as different as life and death.
