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.
James 3:17
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
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:
Hebrews 5:14
But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
1 Thessalonians 5:21
Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
