good night
May. 25th, 2008 11:24 pmHappy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that obtaineth understanding.
For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
She is more precious than rubies; and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
Length of days is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honour.
Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her, and happy is every one that holdest her fast.Proverbs. 3.13-18.
* cf For in much wisdom is much vexation; and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow. Ecclesiastes, 1:18.
Is this difference due to translation, or does it indicate a divergence in thinking between a king and a prophet?
