Wisdom and Instruction

1. True or false?  The Wise man of Proverbs, is marked as much by his openness to learn as by his knowledge.

2. A fool does not enjoy folly. He hates it.

3. Speech patterns that pervert the truth do not deceive for long. They become known.


1. True (Prov. 1:5; 9:9 )

2. False (Prov. 2: 14; 10: 23; 15: 21 ). The fool believes his folly is wisdom. In proud confidence he struts toward destruction.

3. True (Prov. 10 : 9, 31, 32; 17: 20 ) By its nature, falsehood brings people into conflict with reality and reveals them to be dangerous.
