Ecclesiastes 10:2
Ecclesiastes 10:2
A wise man's heart is at his right hand; but a fool's heart at his left.
Wisdom is something that is treasured in the Bible, and Ecclesiastes 10:2 offers a comparison: "A wise man's heart is at his right hand; but a fool's heart at his left." The right hand often symbolizes strength and honor, while the left hand represents foolishness and weakness. The heart of the wise is aligned with understanding and godly wisdom, guiding them in their decisions and actions. In contrast, the fool's heart is misguided, leading them down paths of destruction. This verse encourages us to seek wisdom from God, to align our hearts with His truth, and to make decisions that reflect His will. God’s wisdom brings strength, clarity, and purpose, while foolishness leads to confusion and instability.
Proverbs 29:11
A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.
Matthew 10:16
Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
Romans 5:12
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
1 Thessalonians 5:21
Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
