Torn Between 2 Lovers
The writer personifies wisdom and folly two women. There are five major passages for Woman Wisdom and five for Woman Folly. And they come together in this final comparison of the two in CH 9. It’s the culmination/finale of this long invitation to wisdom.
I want to sort of draw on all the ten passages that personify Wisdom and Folly and draw our attention to one point IN the comparison that’s prominent (comes up repeatedly) AND that I think is particularly relevant to our modern situation. Then I want to see how this comparison of two women is a major device used in the entire Bible…and what it means for daily life.
