(Proverbs 8:20 KJV) I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:
Again I scratch my head at the choices of translators. For the “walk” (1980) of the NASB you have the KJV with “lead”. This is another case where the word is only translated this way once. In contrast the KJV uses “walk” 61 times, “walked” 67 time, “went” 96 times and so forth. Maybe someone had a bad pizza the night before.
Either way it points out that you will find wisdom hanging around in the same place as “righteousness” (6666) and “justice” (4941). This is again pointing out that wisdom, real wisdom not the Dr. Phil kind, is only available in the context of morality and law. We have a lot of pseudo wisdom but it is like the politicians that want a big spending bill to build a road or a bridge to nowhere.
So? You only have one life. Time is running out. By that I mean you have less of it than you did yesterday. At what point do we decide to get down to business and get on the road going somewhere?
