The Five People of Proverbs- Biblical Profiling

The book of Proverbs show's us different types of people, their thoughts, actions, behaviors, and how these people relate to one another. In the book of Proverbs, we meet five different types of people- The Wise; The Fool, The Wicked, The Simple, and The Scorner. Out of the five people types, we are going to study the Wise person so we can get better acquainted with them so we can be able to identify different types of people.

The Wise-  The Bible says in Proverbs 19:27-"Cease to hear instruction, my son, and you will stray from the words of knowledge." In other words, wise people listen to and take heed to wise instruction. The wise man or woman constantly and consistently take heed to God's word. The bible say's in Proverbs 4:23-"Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life." The Wise man is quick to guard his heart and follow the principle-" Treasure in, Garbage out." In other words, the man or woman who is wise takes in and fortifies himself with the Word of God and he protects and guards his heart and mind from all the garbage this world has to offer through the  radio, television, internet, books, and classrooms. Also the wise are receptive to advice, corrections, and rebukes(Proverbs 9:8-9). Wise people also fear the Lord, in fact the bible says that, " The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. (Ps 110.10)." Also, the wise, hangout  with others who are wise. Proverbs 13:20 says-"Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm."
