“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.” (Proverbs 1:7) Those who reject God and his wisdom will never be wise. The practical wisdom of how to live one’s life is for all to find and know. The “wisdom literature” is a section of the Old Testament scripture containing five books: Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes and Song of Solomon. A righteous person is first told not to envy a wicked person.
