Proverbs 14:15
Proverbs 14:15
The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going.
Proverbs 14:15 warns, “The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going.” This verse speaks to the importance of discernment. It cautions us against naivety and blind acceptance of everything we hear. Wisdom teaches us to be discerning, to think critically, and to carefully consider our paths before making decisions. The prudent person does not rush into situations without thinking, but weighs the potential consequences and seeks God’s guidance. Discernment is a key component of wisdom, enabling us to make decisions that are in line with God’s will and avoiding paths that lead to destruction.
Proverbs 18:15
The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
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.
Proverbs 9:10
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
